[James Laska]

# AutoQA priority discussion

# Attendees: kparal, jskladan, wwoods, jlaska

Several folks working toward the Package Update Acceptance test plan met
and discussed re-prioritizing outstanding tasks.  Below are the notes
from that meeting.

== Agenda ==
Mindmap:
  http://kparal.fedorapeople.org/autoqa/tasks.png
  
== Conclusions ==
* Focus on infrastructure/architecture parts first
* testing autotest-server instance important, publicly available
instance not so important
* Current high priority tasks:
  * post-bodhi-hook
    * feature-complete, needs to be tested and merged into master
  * resultdb
  * quick version of virt support
  * getting public accessible machines
    * public autotest blocked on packaging gwt + deps (java booooo)
* Lower priority tasks
  * Package sanity tests 
  * Package update tests
  * Initscripts
  * message bus (aka "pony")
  * full virt support (destructive tests)
  * depcheck (permissive vs enforcing)
  * unit testing of koji/bodhi libraries
    * requires test data stored in koji & bodhi

== TODO ==
* [jlaska] find a machine where resultdb may run (it can be VM, publicly
accessible preferred)
* [jlaska] set up testing instance of autotest-server
* [kparal] implement *quick* virtualization support
* [jskladan, wwoods helping] bodhi hook needs to be tested
* [jskladan, kparal, wwoods] continue implementing and testing resultdb

== Dependencies ==

-> testing instance of autotest-server -> bodhi hook testing -> add
support for our tests

-> testing instance of autotest-server -> quick virtualization support

-> (publicly accessible) machine -> resultdb efforts

== Next Meeting ==
* 2010-06-25 - Check-in on autoqa-devel@ for status on action items
