There isn't really much of an intersection as things stand - they're just different processes. I'm fairly comfortable viewing the anaconda project's own tests as project-level CI-style test automation, while our use of openQA is much more at the distribution level and more about validating distribution composes as entire artefacts in themselves. The most interesting property of openQA per se is that it's a rather different style of automation to things like kickstart testing: openQA basically runs a VM and then interacts with it exactly like an extremely bored human QA intern would, it expects certain things to show up on the screen then it types stuff and clicks - it uses some qemu features for interacting with the VM, but so far as the OS is concerned, it's almost entirely indistinguishable from a human being sitting there whacking a keyboard. So it can test things that don't really show up in more abstract forms of automated testing (but equally, it's not very good at testing some other things). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
