openQA Testing in KDE Linux

7 Likes

Since we have the capability to inject tests and configuration into the system, we’re able to test things that would otherwise be impossible to test with needles. For example, we test if essential desktop processes have ever crashed, if any systemd services failed, if networking works, and if commands we ship with KDE Linux work properly. All of these tests leverage direct access to the innards of the system.

From these capabilities, and I guess a long history of troubleshooting past bugs and regressions in other distro releases… do we know the most common errors, or types of errors, that would now be detected?

And/Or, if there are stack elements that have previously required meticulous checking in the past, but can now be automated… do you know where this will help reduce human effort?
