In our RDO Community Meeting (on IRC) yesterday, the topic of
improving
test day was brought up.
Test day is, for the most part, about getting people to beat on the
latest packages and find problems. However, since most of these problems
are being found in CI, it's time to make test day also about giving
people an opportunity to see what's coming in future releases. To that
end, user experience is pretty important on test day.
Several suggestions were made to improve the test day experience for
folks that aren't already experts:
* Test setup matrix cleanup? Remove tests that are no longer relevant.
* More detailed, beginner-friendly instructions for testing. (Test day
as product preview for potential users, or existing users who are not
deep experts.)
I can start working on this but would probably need more input wrt the
required scope of the instructions. Like, say, besides setting up a VM with
CentOS/RHEL for running packstack, are there other steps we want to cover as
part of preparing your environment?
