action #133112

Updated by tinita over 1 year ago

## Motivation 

 We are using a lot of different test modules in different distributions. 
 * Test::Most 
 * Test::Warnings 
 * Test::Fatal 
 * Test::MockModule 
 * Test::MockObject 
 * OpenQA::Test::TimeLimit 

 The new Test2 suite comes with a lot of builtin stuff: 
 https://metacpan.org/pod/Test2::V0 

 It has a builtin timeout functionality. 

 https://metacpan.org/pod/Test2::Mock has some interesting features like call tracing. 

 Also the `is` function already handles deep comparison and even lists all top level mismatches instead of just reporting the first mismatch and then stop. 

 We might want to try out if we can switch to Test2 in one of our tests and see if it makes sense. 
 No need to switch all tests at once. 

 Only downside: The version in Leap 15.5 is quite old (2017!), so we would have to link it in devel:openQA
