openqa-worker - 4.6.1732034221.ae34b08ff-1 main

openQA is a testing framework that allows you to run tests on pretty-much
anything that you can get 'remote' control of (most often, anything you can run
in a VM and point VNC at). This allows testing of things including GUI
applications, system boot-up (BIOS, bootloaders, kernels), installers and whole
operating systems.
.
Tests (using Perl syntax) generally consist of little more than sequences like:
assert_and_click 'some_icon'; assert_screen 'some_prompt'; send_key 'ret';
which are run using the os-autoinst test engine, by a worker. The tags named in
scripts can then be associated with 'needles' (elements of screenshots) via the
webUI (either from past tests, or while controlling a live test). Other testing
possibilities include: serial-connected headless systems, multi-host networked
tests, and non-VM 'real' systems.
.
This package is to be installed on a worker system (which may also be acting as
a server). Workers register with a server (or perhaps multiple servers), and
can then accept jobs, and run tests (using the os-autoinst test engine).
