Hi everyone,
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my PTL candidacy of the Quality Assurance for
|
|
Rocky cycle.
|
|
|
|
I am glad and lucky to work in OpenStack community and would like to
|
|
thank all the contributors who supported me to explore new things and
|
|
ideas.
|
|
You might know me as gmann on IRC. I have joined the OpenStack since
|
|
2012 and 100% in upstream development since Ice-house release.
|
|
Currently i am contributing in QA, Nova & sometimes other projects too
|
|
and a core member in QA projects like Tempest, Patrole etc. Along with
|
|
that, I volunteered as mentor in the upstream institute and help to
|
|
bring new contributor onboard.
|
|
|
|
QA program always play a key role in smooth upstream development and
|
|
its quality. Also help production clouds for their testing and
|
|
stability. QA responsibilities are always challenging and need lot of
|
|
coordination and collaboration with each projects team. Till now we
|
|
have been doing good job which is not just because of QA team but it's
|
|
all together a combined effort from all projects.
|
|
|
|
Keep having regular ideas from different contributors to improve QA
|
|
is phenomenal and I truly appreciate. Those ideas helped QA program to
|
|
grow more in last couple of years. One example is extreme testing of
|
|
OpenStack which is in discussion since previous summits/PTG with PoC
|
|
and will add strength to QA program. other example is Patrole for RBAC
|
|
testing which is really important for cloud security. My concentration
|
|
as PTL will be to make good progress in extreme testing or any other
|
|
new initiatives and make Patrole more stable and feature-rich so that
|
|
we can see their tests running in respective projects gate.
|
|
|
|
We have plugins framework approach for Tempest/Devstack/Grenade and
|
|
their plugins exist across almost all the OpenStack projects, I feel
|
|
that collaboration with projects team is the key role of QA team. Even
|
|
though, we have been helping and fixing plugins whenever needed but I
|
|
would like to improve more in this area. My objective is to make each
|
|
plugin owners to use the QA services and interfaces in more better and
|
|
easy way. I would like to improve the relationship and coverage of
|
|
help in every possible way.
|
|
|
|
Bug Triage and gate stability is the another important area for QA
|
|
team. We have been doing good in bug triage since couple of years with
|
|
target of 0 un-triaged bug. I would like to make sure we continue the
|
|
focus in both area in next cycle too.
|
|
|
|
Along with that let me summarize me the areas I am planning to focus
|
|
on in Rocky Cycle.
|
|
|
|
* Improvement and new Ideas in QA program as overall:
|
|
- Improve the testing coverage for key features.
|
|
|
|
- Improve QA process and tracking in more better way for planned
|
|
deliverable.
|
|
|
|
- New ideas and their progress to convert into a running software.
|
|
|
|
* Collaboration and Help:
|
|
- Cross community collaboration on tool, idea sharing etc, opnfv,
|
|
k8s are best example as of now.
|
|
|
|
- Help the other Projects' developments with test writing/improvement
|
|
and gate stability
|
|
|
|
- Plugin improvement and helping them on daily basis by defining doable
|
|
process and goal.
|
|
|
|
* Bring on more contributor and core reviewers.
