QA » openQA Project

Motivation¶

Similar as in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2021/sprint-195-update#automatic-retries-for-a-task and https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#retry and https://github.com/marketplace/actions/retry-step

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: openQA jobs are automatically retriggered with a maximum amount specified in test variables
• AC2: By default openQA tests apply no automatic retry

Acceptance tests¶

• AT1-1: Given an unfinished openQA test with the special RETRY variable given with value N When the job fails And the current job is not already the N-th clone of an original job Then an automatic clone is created
• AT1-2: Given an unfinished openQA test with the special RETRY variable given with value N When the job fails And the current job is the N-th clone of an original job Then no automatic clone is created
• AT2-1: Given an unfinished openQA test with no special retry variable given When the job fails Then no automatic clone is created at this point (job done hooks or external events may still trigger clones as well as manual triggers)
