Project Description

Project aims to create tool for specific situations in which current cucumber testsuite used for Uyuni and SUSE Manager is too complex tool and, otherwise, in which manual testing is just still too much time consuming.

I would like to create tool, which quickly sets up all necessary stuff for area to be tested, so manual testing is limited to final tests and decision making if feature works or not.

This tool will be written in Rust language, because the language itself looks just cool (and has some very interesting concepts) and could be interesting choice for this purpose in combination of XMLRPC API provided by Uyuni/SUSE Manager as XMLRPC calls are very quick and handling of error states is easy.

Goal for this Hackweek

Implement following for retail features, so:

• retail fomulas configuration
• build hosts preparation
• creation of kiwi image profiles
• scheduling of kiwi image building
• applying of highstate

...will be possible to test via this tool.

Setup of retail formulas will be handled via json files already used to store their configuration.
