Motivation¶

Let's address some small renaming in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?distri=sle&version=12-SP5&build=20231201-1&groupid=520 as we are running out of space with longer names (but still we don't want cryptic names!).
The goal is to quickly identify the characteristics of the system to be migrated at first glance.

Some suggestions:

• As our focus in the server and we just add extensions to it, we should replace sle by sles.
• All image creation should be done via AutoYaST, otherwise we are specifically testing the interactive UI, so it is kind of redundant, replace "create_hdd" by "support_image".
• Replace "ha" by "sles_ha"
• Omit "autoyast" in the name of the test suite to give more space to other information.
• Replace support_image by 'sup_img'
• Add always the system role abreviated in the test suite name except for SLE 12 SP5 where is the default, it is actually important to know which was the system role selected during the installation of the system to be migrated.
• In the same manner is also important to know if the installation happens with all patterns or default ones, for default there is not need to add "def" but for all we can add "all" (I think we don't need to add "allpatterns" because the description of the test suite will be clear enough).
• Instead of writing the test modules in the name of the test suite we can just use sizeS, sizeM and sizeL and we have more than 1 of this type, sizeL1, sizeL2. Basically this indicates the size of the the packages/patterns to be migrated, so we omit migrated_sizeL, and we just write "sizeL" representing the modules/extension contained but not really the number of them but the size in GiB that they represent so we can take that into account to do different migrations scenarios. They key to determine the size is the Installation Settings screen, ie https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12949206#step/disable_grub_timeout/22 in "Total Size of Packages to Update" which is a good indicator of how much the system will change (without going into the details). For example:
  • size S (default patterns): https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12949223#step/disable_grub_timeout/22
  • size M (all patterns with a combination of modules): https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12949206#step/disable_grub_timeout/22
  • size L (all patterns with all the combination of modules, most likely in Misc. group): https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12949488#step/disable_grub_timeout/22
• Remove strange nomenclature _module and _modules in test suite names (ie. found in sle 15 sp3).

Acceptance criteria¶

AC1: Improve test suite naming in support images job groups
AC2: Add basic description (not verbose one) to the test suite
