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. %package common Summary: The openQA common tools for web-frontend and workers
