Description

Motivation

Feedback from hsehic: We have some presentations referencing a openQA DSL, "Domain specific language" but open.qa doesn't mention it anywhere. we should just mention the term in or near http://open.qa/docs/#_how_to_write_tests or http://open.qa/docs/#_api so that people find it as search term

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: The documentation mentions "openQA DSL"

Suggestions

  • Just add a sentence that explains that the openQA test API can be referred to as openQA DSL, because in some contexts it can look like a domain specific language
  • Comparable examples from the Perl world would be the Mojolicious::Lite DSL, or cpanfiles

Remark

You can run generic Perl code in tests. We should not give a false impression about it. This is merely so our documentation isn't blank on the term "DSL" that may be used elsewhere.

What presentations are those? And what DSL is being referred to here?

https://github.com/os-autoinst/documentation or something on the SUSE internal link: https://w3.suse.de/~okurz/presentations

And what DSL is being referred to here?

The "domain specific language" just is the combination of testapi calls with a bit of perl in between: that's why I meant we should just mention the term in or near http://open.qa/docs/#_how_to_write_tests or http://open.qa/docs/#_api

I was able to find "DSL" in our deployed docs.
