-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: YaST GUI testing framework Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:37:18 +0200 From: Rodion Iafarov <[email protected]> To: [email protected]
Dear YaSTees, I would like to kindly ask for your help. In order to make next game changing step for YaST GUI testing, we need to improve macro player functionality. After a nice discussion with Stefan Hundhammer and Chistopher Hofmann, we got clear that we cannot simply resurrect functionality which was there already as it's based on YCP, which YaST team wants to replace for quite a while. Our QA team feels fancy to help with the progress in order to get scalable framework for YaST GUI testing, including installer. However, as you have better insights, we need your help to decide steps to be done and split them to the items we can deliver during the sprint. This will allow us slowly moving forward. Questions to clarify before we start: 1) Will YCP be dropped in foreseeable future, if yes what shall be used instead? yaml+ruby? 2) Where to start? We could have a fork of libyui which is used for testing, or our implementation has to be secure not to introduce any new flaws In case we cannot get enough support and development is too heavy, we may use squish or ldtp, which have certain limitations, but will server the purpose. Looking forward to your reply. -- Kind regards, Rodion Iafarov <[email protected]> QA Engineer SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0; Fax: +49-911-7417755; https://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
