In addition to Jesse's reply, AutoQA is a framework for tests. You can theoretically run almost any type of test through AutoQA. Essentially it's just a little machine for running a bunch of arbitrary commands at specified times, and saving the results somewhere. It's by nature very flexible, and there's not a lot of restrictions on what the tests you can run within the AutoQA framework actually *do*. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
