Description
openQA is an end-to-end testing tool used by several Linux distributions, and since 2021 its been testing each new build of GNOME OS to detect regressions.
Module developers often ask how we can run use this for pre-merge testing in module CI systems, so we catch the regressions before they even land in the ‘main’ branch.
This workshop will show how you can set up openQA testing for your app and start testing your component in GNOME OS on every merge request. We’ll go over the basics of openQA and its test API, and we’ll spend most of the time making real test suites that you can start running in CI.
