Heads-up: I've taken ownership for the external need "Automatic Smoketests on Image Build" [0]
Testing an image takes time and resources, and with several images, it takes several times that. Since that simply doesn't scale - well, doesn't even work well without scaling - we want to automate the smoketests using Taskotron. Unfortunately, Taskotron is still in a very early development phase and having mentioned only just our (most) basic needs, Tim estimates it won't be good enough for us in the target timeframe (i.e. by F21 Alpha). There's a slight chance it will be ready, but even then we still need time to implement the smoketests.
I just want to point out the fact that for RHEL/Fedora/etc image testing we have the following tool:
https://github.com/RedHatQE/valid
We were using it to test Fedora images since F18.
To be honest I'm not that familiar with Taskotron but maybe we can collaborate somehow.
So if we want to have Taskotron ready for us in time, we need to find some developer(s) committing some of their resources. Any takers? If you're interested, head to [1] to learn more, there's also a contribution guide linked from there. I'm sure tflink in #fedora-qa is happy to talk to people still interested after reading through the wiki if there's further questions.
Also, we need to compile our actual needs. What kind of tests do we want to run? Most basic tests (things that we manually tested in the past) are probably:
- Was the IP correctly set up?
- Is SSH running and reachable?
- Does the fedora user exist?
- Is the ssh pubkey installed for the fedora user?
- Is the fedora user able to use sudo?
- Is the root account locked?
- Is package installation working?
- Is the firewall disabled?
- Checking cloud-init and systemctl for bootup errors - does that make
sense or is there too much noise?
What else can / should we test? Obviously the tailored images should be tested for their specific stuff but lets first focus on the common ground.
In addition to that current image validation has the following: - testing different instace types - empty bash history - selinux contexts test - running services - package set - EBS test - Ephemeral test - available cores/memory test - userdata handling (cloud-init) - several bugs test (regressions) - ... (full test list is here: https://github.com/RedHatQE/valid/tree/master/valid/testing_modules)
Thanks, Sandro
