Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-99851c6d24
2018-12-01 20:39:47.526862
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : openqa
Product : Fedora 29
Version : 4.6
Release : 4.20181121gitb543647.fc29
URL :
http://os-autoinst.github.io/openQA/
Summary : OS-level automated testing framework
Description :
openQA is a testing framework that allows you to test GUI applications on one
hand and bootloader and kernel on the other. In both cases, it is difficult to
script tests and verify the output. Output can be a popup window or it can be
an error in early boot even before init is executed.
openQA is an automated test tool that makes it possible to test the whole
installation process of an operating system. It uses virtual machines to
reproduce the process, check the output (both serial console and screen) in
every step and send the necessary keystrokes and commands to proceed to the
next. openQA can check whether the system can be installed, whether it works
properly in 'live' mode, whether applications work or whether the system
responds as expected to different installation options and commands.
Even more importantly, openQA can run several combinations of tests for every
revision of the operating system, reporting the errors detected for each
combination of hardware configuration, installation options and variant of the
operating system.

Update Information:
This update provides recent git snapshots of openQA and os-autoinst. There have
been many changes and bug fixes, far too many to list them all; for instance,
os-autoinst's qemu interface has been quite significantly rewritten, openQA's
'interactive mode' is replaced with a new 'developer mode', Gru is now a
wrapper
around Minion, and many more. This update is deployed on the Fedora staging
instance already. Production is still running the old release. Note that from
this build on, openQA requires its PostgreSQL server to be running 10.0 or
higher. It also adds some newly-packaged dependencies and updates some other
dependencies for which newer versions are required, including a new major
release of Mojolicious. openQA is the primary Mojolicious consumer in Fedora,
and I checked that other projects downstream of Mojolicious should work OK with
the new release. More details on the changes in Mojolicious can be found in [the
upstream
changelog](https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo/blob/master/Changes).
