Meanwhile, we supported the OpenStack +community in the implementation of the Tempest plugin community goal. + +This should mean fewer headaches for everyone with Tempest plugins, +and a bit more time for the QA team to focus on key areas like the gate +stability and bug triage. + +Outside of those key areas, my priority always remains serving the community, +by providing tools, support and advice. There are a few specific topics I +care particularly about for the Rocky cycle: + +- Migration to Zuul v3: my key objective is for project teams to be able + to migrate as effortless as possible, enjoy the benefits of Zuul v3 and + focus on the things they want to work on. + To achieve this the QA team will provide a good set of base jobs and + ansible roles for everyone to re-use. + During Queens we implemented base devstack and devstack-tempest jobs + already; next up are multinode support and grenade, which cover most + of the things that we do in Tempest legacy jobs today. + +- Interoperability testing: with the new add-on programs, I expect that + the teams involved will need prompt support and test reviews from the + QA team. + +- QA beyond the gate: there is a lot of quality engineering happening on + OpenStack beyond the testing we do in the gate and I strive to ensure + that those efforts do not happen in isolation. There is opportunity + for sharing of ideas, tools, experiences - even beyond the OpenStack + community, through initiatives like OpenLab and OPNVF. A QA SIG may be + a good forum to make this happen. + +- Supporting teams working on the cold upgrade goal along with the goal + champion. + +Thank you! + +Andrea Frittoli (andreaf)
