Hi everyone,
|
|
|
|
I'd like to announce my candidacy as the PTL for the Quality Assurance PTL
|
|
role for the Victoria cycle. First off, I would like to thank you all the
|
|
contributors, core reviewers, PTLs, and anyone who involves and makes the
|
|
OpenStack better.
|
|
|
|
Let me introduce myself briefly. I have joined the OpenStack community since
|
|
2012 as a developer. Now, I'm a core member of some QA projects such as
|
|
Tempest, os-testr, OpenStack-health, stackviz, coverage2sql, subunit2sql[1].
|
|
And I also played the mentors/instructors role at the upstream training in
|
|
Japan several times. It was a great experience to know how difficult of
|
|
telling people how OpenStack community is going.
|
|
|
|
In the Ussuri cycle, we've almost completed "Drop Python 2.7 Support"[2]
|
|
which is one of the Ussuri goals. We also have been trying to keep the gate
|
|
stable which is the mission of the team. And we approved one interesting
|
|
spec - "Whitebox Tempest Plugin"[3] which is one of the tempest plugins.
|
|
It can access controller nodes and/or compute nodes such as read and write
|
|
INI files, restart services, examine the database, etc. Tempest does not cover
|
|
this feature because it isn't the scope. However, it is necessary to expand
|
|
automated testing.
|
|
|
|
We still have a few more planned work pending for Ussuri, such as removing/
|
|
migrating the .testr.conf to .stestr.conf, RBAC testing, removing tempest
|
|
plugin sanity BLACKLIST, adding new glance tests, improving Tempest cleanup,
|
|
etc. But I think we will be able to accomplish them in the Ussuri cycle as we
|
|
still have around one month for Ussuri release.
|
|
|
|
Along with daily QA activities, my priorities for QA for the next cycle will
|
|
be:
|
|
|
|
* New ideas for more tooling and/or tests project to focus on OpenStack or
|
|
common communities. (whitebox tempest plugin, for example)
|
|
|
|
* Stability of Tempest plugins. The sanity job is already voting, and there
|
|
are 57 tempest plugins[4], but 12 plugins are in the blacklist. Some of the
|
|
plugins are deprecated already, but it's hard to know from the registry
|
|
page. It needs to be classified, and the page can be improved.
|
|
|
|
* Guiding and motivating more contributors to QA projects, improving
|
|
documentation, and advertising OpenStack QA projects.
|
|
|
|
* Completing Ussuri priority items if it's still lasting.
|
|
|
|
It's hard to accomplish without our collaboration. So, let's do it together!
