Introducing the New QA Dashboard: Gain Insights into the Fedora QA Community

2023-07-09 Thread Sudhir Dharanendraiah
Dear Fedora Community,

The Fedora QA team is excited to announce the launch of our brand new QA
Dashboard for the Fedora QA community! This dashboard has been designed to
provide you with valuable insights into what is happening in the Fedora QA
space, helping us all work together more efficiently and effectively.

As an open-source community, our collective efforts have always been
focused on ensuring the quality and reliability of Fedora. The new QA
Dashboard is a significant step forward in enhancing our QA processes and
fostering collaboration among contributors.

Here are the key features and benefits of the QA Dashboard:

Current Development Schedule: The dashboard provides an overview of the
development schedule of the current release with important milestones for
you to plan and stay ahead of the curve.

Blockers and Freeze Exceptions: You can now view the current release
Blockers and Freeze Exceptions along with the breakup of Proposed and
Accepted.

Calendar of Events: Take a look at what is coming up in the next 7 days.
Meetings and Test Days to plan your schedule accordingly.

Meeting Minutes: Stay up-to-date with the latest decisions made during the
QA meeting. Meeting minutes will keep you informed, ensuring that you are
always aware of the current state of Fedora QA.

To access the new QA Dashboard, please visit https://qa.fedoraproject.org/

We encourage you to explore the QA Dashboard, take advantage of its
features, and provide feedback. Your input is invaluable in improving the
dashboard and making it even more beneficial to the entire Fedora QA
community. Tell us what you would like to see in the dashboard!

Thank you for your continued dedication to the Fedora QA community. Let's
make the most of this new dashboard and work together to ensure the highest
quality standards for Fedora.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or need assistance with the QA
Dashboard, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Regards,

Hi, all.

Here is the summary of CI-related work happening in Fedora.

If you have questions or topics to discuss you can also join Fedora CI
SIG bi-weekly meeting. Next session is today in #fedora-ci IRC channel
at 15:30 UTC

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/SIGs/#m9618



### Dist-git tests support multipackage updates

You can define package tests in dist-git via STR format

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/standard-test-roles/

Note that dist-git/STR tests are different from running %check tests
in the rpm building phase. STR tests are executed in a clean virtual
machine with proper setup of repositories for the latest Fedora
Rawhide packages. This environment is better suited for integration
tests, which need to test the installed package, not the sources of
it.

Dist-git tests are fully compatible with the dynamic sidetag approach:
if you create a dynamic sidetag for the multi-package update, test
environment will be created with the content of the entire sidetag,
not an individual package.

Status: Ready to Use
Contact: Bruno Goncalves (bgoncalv) and #fedora-ci IRC channel.

### New test: rpminspect

There is a new rpminspect test running in Fedora Rawhide gating
enabled by default for all packages in a non-blocking mode.

More details:
https://github.com/rpminspect/rpminspect

Status: Ready to Use
Contact: David Cantrell (dcantrell)



Thanks for sending out all this information, Aleksandra :)

I also want to call out Tim Flink (irc: tflink) from Fedora QA team who 
worked extensively on getting rpminspect to run in a way that its 
results could show up in bodhi.





### Tests for pull-requests via Zuul

Zuul team has enabled Zuul CI engine to test Pagure pull requests.

You can opt-in to Zuul CI per package.

On every pull-request Zuul will
* run a scratch build
* run rpminspect on that build
* run dist-git test defined in STR format(if available)
* provide comment in the pull-request
* wait for you to put an manual approval on the PR
* merge the PR

* you can also get Zuul to handle merge events, so that it will
automatically build the regular koji build, after the merge.

Zuul now has support for EPEL8 branches.

More details:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zuul-based-ci

Status: Ready to use
Contact: Fabien Boucher (fbo)

### Koschei as a gating test

With sidetag gating feature enabled it is now possible to run Koschei
for each dynamic sidetag and make it a part of the gating process.

We do have Koschei deployed on Fedora infrastructure. There is
on-going work by Mikolaj Izdebski to get it integrated with the Fedora
Messaging, so that sidetags are submitted in Koschei when created.

Status: research and prototyping
Contact: Serhii Turivnyi (sturivny)

### Infra change: new Jenkins master

New Jenkins master to run generic tests and inherit Taskotron pipelines.

Our current Jenkins master, which is used for dist-git tests, was not
updated for some time and it is by design bundled to the pipeline it
runs. So adding new pipelines and separating pipelines from the
Jenkins master configuration is problematic.

The goal here is to have a Jenkins master setup which is easy to
update. It will have a set of plugins pre-installed and configured for
Fedora infrastructure endpoints, but jobs configuration will be
applied to it independently.

More details:
Current work is done on a Communishift project. Code will be available
soon at https://github.com/fedora-ci

Status: WIP
Contact: Jim Bair (jbair)

### Infra change: common repository and common format for generic tests

We are refactoring the Groovy pipeline library so it is better suited
to run generic tests.

One of the goals is that generic tests are all run in the same way,
and you don’t need to add a lot of new Groovy code to add a certain
bash script as a generic test.

We’d like people to be able to contribute new generic tests without
prior knowledge of the Jenkins internal setup.

Current focus is rpmdeplint and rpminspect pipelines.

More details:
https://github.com/fedora-ci

Status: WIP
Contact: Michal Srb (msrb)

### Infra change: ODCS composes

We are updating ODCS staging infrastructure to the latest ODCS
release. Once the Fedora instractructure freeze is over, we will also
update the ODCS production instance. This work is preparation for
possible further use of ODCS to generate composes used by Fedora CI as
well as main Fedora composes.

Status: WIP
Contact: Jan Kaluza (jkaluza)

### Infra change: Testing Farm Service

Testing Farm Team is working on open-sourcing parts of the RH internal
CI infrastructure as a service, which will be used by Fedora CI's
general tests and functional tests pipeline. The main input of the
service will be test definitions in the TMT/FMF format.

TMT documentation:
https://tmt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
(recently added testcloud + podman provisioner)

Code is hosted at GitLab:

+1. At the same time, we should also ensure that Devel,QE,Infra,RelEng.. 
all equal stake holders and are hand in glove with the new design and 
not fall into their own silo.





ie, collect all our inputs and outputs and things we need to do in the
process and figure out how to make it modular (no relation) so we can
look at just a single changed input and quickly test and generate all
the outputs that are affected by that input (and not any of the others).

For example, a new xfce4-settings package comes out, we want to test it,
test the Xfce live media and if it all passes, perhaps release that media.

It may well be that we can figure out a 'base platform' just by looking
at these imput/outputs: what things are in most or all outputs?

H. I guess this would avoid needing to fix problems on both the

Such fix must then be tracked separately for branched version.

* My proposal for 'what do we do about release criteria / validation'
is basically: the 'Fedora 27 Alpha Release Criteria' page gets renamed
'Basic Release Criteria' (note: not versioned, I don't think it should
be), and we document that *all* composes - not just Beta and Final
candidate composes, but also Rawhide and Branched nightlies - will be
automatically tested for (and release of them gated on) compliance with
them. Which is more or less what's proposed in the Change. All external
references to the 'Alpha' criteria get changed to 'Basic' (e.g. this is
what changed on the other criteria pages, and on the test matrix
template pages). Practically speaking, we currently have automated
testing for *most* of the existing Alpha criteria, but a few items
aren't covered. We can choose to move these to the Beta criteria, or
leave them on Basic and just accept that *actual* coverage doesn't
quite meet what we aspire to. I do *NOT* propose to have any kind of
blocker tracking bug for the Basic release criteria; it doesn't seem to
fit in the process, there is no Alpha release to block, and we can't
realistically block nightly composes on manual test results. So a
tracker bug wouldn't really have any reason to exist. In the case where
a violation of the Basic criteria makes it into composes despite the
automated testing, it should be marked as a Beta blocker.




On a slightly different thought, if we run all existing Alpha criteria 
tests in rawhide, we can then probably look at existing Alpha blocker as 
Branch blocker.. i.e, we don't branch unless the blockers are fixed and 
thereby keeping rawhide at Alpha quality all the time. We might want to 
call 'Basic Release Criteria' as 'Basic Branch Criteria'.

| That's not the intent of the fields as I understand them. 'severity' is
| supposed to represent how bad the bug is, whereas 'priority' is
| supposed to represent how important it is to get it fixed compared to
| other bugs in the same component. They're obviously related, but not
| the same, and it's not "severity is the reporter's opinion, priority is
| the maintainers' opinion", no.
| 
| I think you might be right that we allow the bug reporter to set
| 'severity', though.

There is no direct relation between these fields.
Many projects interpret in different ways, but the most common way is,
'severity' is what user thinks of the issue, how much of an issue it is for him 
('user' is a QE engineer/consumer or a developer of other component). This is 
usually set to get the attention of the developer/owner of component over other 
bugs in same component. 
'priority' is what the developer/owner of the component (owner of the bug) 
thinks its severity is. It can also be a consensus from all stake holders.

It is not uncommon to see high severity bugs getting triaged first. It is also 
a good practice to keep priority and severity at comparable, if not same level 
once triaged (i.e., it would not logically seem correct to see high severity 
with low priority or vice-versa after triage).

Sudhir

Correct. There are many ways and having basic functionality testing

We in any case don't support OpenJDK 7 which makes Fedora 21 and onward a

IntelliJ 14 fully supports JDK 8 and next preview version of Android Studio

Most decision are being made on two assumptions 1. people have fast and

regularly downloads cache, disables delta RPM support, and doesn't support

 are behind an enterprise firewall anyway.

So the target audience has shifted from developers to developers who
don't understand ports, don't like user prompts and are behind
enterprise firewalls.

 Unfortunately, this does not say that it turns off reporting of

 think if you opt not to use this data to determine your own location, it 
 is still reported to Google to improve accuracy for those who use 
 Google's location services.

In the location mode you could tell it to use a combination of one of the 
following 1. GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks 2. Wi-Fi and mobile networks and 
3. only mobile networks. I will have to look into how and what exactly it 
sends to Google in case you choose to report location data.

Cell phone users get tracked no matter what. The only consolation is that you 
don't know about it.

 It's usually opt-in, so you don't have to use it and don't use it by
 default. This is at least designed as anonymous while Google tracks all
 Android users and saves their personal location data by default.

I don't mind sharing data as long as the data is shared back in some 
interesting form.

I think it's a misconception that Google saves personal location data by 
default. When you setup your device for the first time it will ask you to 
enable location reporting. You can disable location reporting and delete 
location history on your Android devices using this link [1]. You will also 
lose access to all the value that location aware apps provide.

 I'd like to ask you to join the project, install the Mozilla Stumbler

How do I benefit from broadcasting my location?
