So, opensuse and suse do the following for the released distributions
(e.g. opensuse Leap):
each update gets put into a staging area in the build service, which
rebuilds a subset of the distribution, creates the installation images
and publishes repositories from the staging area. Then openqa is
triggered for the staging area and a bot reports back.

This is not exactly a test on a pull request though, because the actual
pull request equivalent happens in a different place. It is more
equivalent to testing a bodhi update or a side tag.

What I could imagine would be the following: some CI (e.g. Zuul) builds
an image from the pull request and publishes that image somewhere
publicly accessible. Then Zuul would trigger an openqa job and set
ISO_1_URL or HDD_1_URL to the published image, openqa then pulls these
and runs all tests. It would however require that no repositories are
accessed during the tests. And we'd also need some bot to report back an
pagure, but that shouldn't be impossible either, as openqa publishes all
test results via mqtt.

And yes, that will require more hardware to run so many tests.


Hope this helps,

Dan
