Hi everyone,
|
|
|
|
I'd like to announce my candidacy for Ocata cycle as the PTL for the Quality
|
|
Assurance program/team/project/etc. First off, I would like to thank you all
|
|
the contributors, core reviewers, PTLs and anyone who involves and makes the
|
|
OpenStack better.
|
|
|
|
Let me introduce myself, briefly. I have joined the OpenStack community since
|
|
2012 as a developer. Now, I'm a core member of some QA/Infra projects such as
|
|
Tempest, Tempest-lib(deprecated), OpenStack-health, stackviz, subunit2sql[1].
|
|
And I played the mentors/instructors role at the upstream training in Japan
|
|
several times. It was a great experience to know the difficulty of telling
|
|
people how OpenStack community is going.
|
|
|
|
This Newton cycle has also been a very exciting one for the QA program. New
|
|
QA projects like stackviz and OpenStack-health are emerging and growing. For
|
|
distributed and stable project testing, we have been working on making the
|
|
tempest service clients consistent and migrating it to the lib. It is also an
|
|
excellent job in progress. And we improved Tempest-cli and its user workflow.
|
|
Thanks to the improvements, we can use Tempest in very simple steps now. And I
|
|
especially focused on improving UI side of tempest, OpenStack-health, etc. I
|
|
think this is also a great step for better UX.
|
|
|
|
In Ocata cycle, I believe cleaning up Tempest/DevStack will be one of the top
|
|
priority works such as making consistency, cleaning up pluggable modules. We
|
|
will continue to do it this cycle, too. And I also think improving UI and UX
|
|
is one of the most important things for QA. For example, OpenStack-health
|
|
should show more variety of data and be improved its performance. And regarding
|
|
the tempest cli, the first implementation phase was almost done, and we need
|
|
to get user feedbacks and improve them.
|
|
|
|
I think our OpenStack QA work is unique and excellent compare to the other open
|
|
source projects. And as you know, it is very exciting not boring these days. I
|
|
hope more and more contributors will participate in the OpenStack development,
|
|
especially the QA. So I will continue to advertise our great the OpenStack QA
|
|
works and review and make patches for better QA, of course. And any
|
|
contribution like reporting bugs, suggesting a lack of documentations, are
|
|
appreciated, too.
|
|
Join us and happy hacking!
