[qe-core][qem] have a reference system patch and reboot in a specific time
Added by coolo almost 7 years ago.
Updated about 1 month ago.
Description
We have several test that patch_and_reboot, but we have none where we expect
the system in a specific time to be alive again. Meaning LAMP stack back on.
As the recent openssl regression showed, this is crucial not to miss - the default
timeouts are just too forgiving (and do not check if postgresql/mysql/apache/openssh
start in time).
@osukup, is it there anything we can do about it?

The first thing here:
- How long can we accept to wait, and what would be the delta between acceptable and unacceptable?.
- Define what "in time" means here:

Would be great to know which was the regression that made Coolo create this ticket

Well, that's what QA engineers "the advocates of customers" should decide, i.e. you. I suggest as baseline something as simple as "the current usual boot time + 20% margin". But to allow for statistical variations reboot 5 times and take the median value
