openQA is an integration testing framework for whole operating systems. It can perform the same actions that a human would perform when interacting with the system under test, only in an automated fashion. This can be leveraged to continuously test repetitive tasks, like the installer of a Linux distribution. It is used extensively by both the Fedora and openSUSE distributions to continuously test their latest images.
This talk will introduce openQA, its basic concepts, where it is applicable and showcase some more advanced features (like testing on bare metal hardware). It is aimed at beginners and will show you whether it is applicable for your use case while also providing some instructions how to start using it.
