Package Information

Descriptionautomatic Operating System testing framework (webUI & scheduler)

openQA is a testing framework that allows you to run tests on pretty-much anything that you can get 'remote' control of (most often, anything you can run in a VM and point VNC at). This allows testing of things including GUI applications, system boot-up (BIOS, bootloaders, kernels), installers and whole operating systems.

Tests (using Perl syntax) generally consist mostly of sequences of code like: assert_and_click 'some_icon'; assert_screen 'some_prompt'; send_key 'ret'; which are run using the os-autoinst test engine, by a worker. The tags named in scripts can then be associated with 'needles' (elements of screenshots) via the webUI (either from past tests, or while controlling a live test). Other testing possibilities include: serial-connected headless systems, multi-host networked tests, and non-VM 'real' systems.

This package includes the job scheduler, the elements providing the services to allow workers to run tests and upload results, and the Web-based user interface.

Changelog
openqa-server (5.1777452029.e890e9cc5-3~srv) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * rename source package as `openqa-server` (see README.source)
 .
     This is exactly the same source as for the `openqa` source package,
     except for the name change in the changelog and debian/control, and
     the fact that only the `openqa-server` and `openqa` binary packages
     are mentioned in debian/control.
     So while this is going via NEW, it is not really a new package.
 .
     - it also introduces the idea of having '~srv' as a version suffix
       for the server versions, which is done to allow the release tags to
       reside in the same git repo as the client branch without clashing.
 .
   * add a more useful Description for openqa transitional pkg
   * use /run rather than /var/run for ~_openqa-worker
   * reference _openqa-worker only in -worker pkg
