WP3_Tasks_20060904? Note see also Mozilla test suitesScope of the workshop
Quality assurance of Linux distribution is a complex and time consuming process, involving both open communities and dedicated staff, with a clear lack of dedicated tools. The goal of EDOS workpackage 3 is to research and experiment solutions which will ultimately allow to dramaticaly reduce the costs and delays of quality assurance in the process of building an industry grade custom GNU/Linux distribution. The WP3 proposes, as detailled in the WP3 Roadmap, to develop a testing specification format, a testing framework middleware and a quality assurance portal to provide to Linux distribution packagers and testers a unified view of the testing process.Topics
The workshop will cover the following topics:- State of the art of Linux test suites, automated testing, testing frameworks...
- GUI automated testing
- Use of virtual environments for testing
- Architecture of the WP3 system
- Current version of the system testing framework
- Testing specification
- QA portal
- Links with the PMI
