Description

Motivation

See #43580. Having at least a second SLE product besides SLES testing in staging projects would show flaws in the unified installer.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: The value of having RT in staging projects is evaluated and confirmed with stakeholders
  • AC2: At least one product is tested in SLE15 staging tests besides SLES

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117535 is a bug I found in the RT staging test example so I guess it does make sense to have that in staging

Is it confirmed with Jeffrey? I disagree to extend some staging for the RT, only RT specific one. Removing from the sprint for now.

It is. We mentioned it as an idea in one of the calls with him, he took the idea and in the end the task bounced back to us over multiple hops of management.

Sorry, I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

Removing from the sprint for now.

ok, fine. Let's try later then :)

In which staging project to schedule (or in all), is something to be discussed with sle-release-coord@suse.de

So let's wait for Jeffrey's thoughts

Got reply from Jeffrey, but not getting answer to our question. If not RT, we can consider any other project e.g. SLED.

Since RT is a small product, I am neutral to have staging test for RT.  Please tell if this is easy to setup the testing or not.

Jeffrey

@riafarov, @okurz there is no strong opinion regarding RT and staging. What kind of actions should we take now?

Actions #12

Updated by okurz about 5 years ago

I suggest to just add SLE RT as the "second SLE product" in staging.

Actions #13

Updated by mloviska about 5 years ago

Jeffrey decided to leave staging as it is for now and enable RT in staging when sle15sp2 comes.

Actions #14

Updated by okurz about 5 years ago

That's ok however we should add the test scenario nevertheless as decided. The main purpose is to cover "any second SLE product besides SLES", we just picked "SLE RT" as the example.

That is against AC1

Actions #16

Updated by okurz about 5 years ago

I think you have covered AC1 pretty well. So we understood that the RT RM does not care :) Which means we could simply pick "any product". We could select "sles4sap" just as well.

Actions #17

Updated by riafarov about 5 years ago

As per our discussion, as we have risk of RT not being available in SLE 15 SP2, we agreed that we should better aim other product which will remain, e.g. HPC, SAP or SLED. I've checked, both are available on staging. Will clarify with Frederic if he is fine with extending staging with such scenario.

As per discussion with Frederic, SAP would be better candidate in his opinion and we also agreed that we should perform that change for SP2 and in case of SAP being chosen one as second product, we need to confirm it with Stefan Weiberg as he is accountable for providing fixes for it.

So, I move it to the product backlog so we can work on it after SP1 is released. We also will have information if RT will be available.

Already implemented in Staging:S: (e.g. sles4sap_default_install@64bit).

It is enough to catch issues on early stage.

But I don't think that counts because :S is only used to stage SLES4SAP changes. One goal for this story to was to test e.g. if the SLES4SAP installer breaks on SLES changes. I guess when we have the sles4sap scenario triggered in all other staging projects we could count this as done.

For staging projects we always have argument of having more tests vs execution time. Enabling this scenario for all staging will significantly increase load on the workers causing delays in the results. As we didn't see this functionality breaking often to run it for each staging, we also can see that in the installer part we don't miss severe regressions which do not allow testing.

In case we really want to have it covered, we should rather enable separate checks for the limited scope instead of choosing second popular product and enabling it just because we can.
So for qsf-y, we don't see action items remaining here for us and other stakeholders (this was our initiative originally and didn't get much support from other stakeholders).

Assigning it to you, in case you want to act on it.

Yes, sounds reasonable. So this could be interesting e.g. for [desktop] or [sles4sap] or [hpc]
