[node-devel] Update on Automated Continous Integration Testing

[Fabian Deutsch]

Hey,

currently CI tests are run nightly on the master branch (with sometimes
additional patches) and the results are posted to the node-patches ml.

The tests (currently the basic_tui testsuite) are run internally but the
testcases itself are now kept in oVirt's gerrit [1, 2].

Some initial ideas of how to improve and what testcases to add to the
testsuites are summarized in the wiki [3].
The testcases outlined there are just the basics, if you got a special
testcase you want to cover, you are welcome to contribute a testcase and
get it reviewed.
This way you will get an nightly automated testing of your special
testcase (which should be relevant to oVirt Node) "for free" :)

It is even possible to do TUI testing by writing appropriate testcases
[4] and using the provided common.input [5] python library (which builds
upon uinput). There is also an example provided: [6]

There is still work to do: The wiki pages need to be reorganized and
cleaned up a bit. Additionall testcases can be written (like for the
TUI, or TUI installation), …

Greetings
fabian
