Channel: GUADEC
Date: 25/07/2018

I’m Jonathan Kang, a GNOME hacker from China. I currently maintain Logs, and contribute to other projects. My copresenter is Chingkai Chu who is a QA engineer at SUSE and he has been focused on Gnome testing and openQA for two years.

We’ll talk about how currently GNOME applications are tested using different technologies. And then introduce the approach of using openQA to test GNOME applications.

Our talk can be divided into three parts:
1. Why should we do quality assurance
– We’ll talk about this from a GNOME hacker and a GNOME QA tester’s view.

2. The current technologies used in GNOME projects for testing
– It’s mainly about the methods GNOME community currently uses to do the testing, like dogtail, glib unit test, gnome continuous and etc.

3. Introduce what I did with openQA for testing my maintained project and discuss the possibility of using it for other projects
– openQA features overview and how we use it in SLE Desktop team
– Gnome automation testing approach using openQA
