OpenQA - Automated Graphical Testing on Real Hardware

Learn about OpenQA, a powerful testing tool for automated graphical testing, in this 18-minute conference talk from XDC 2023. Discover how OpenQA, originally developed for openSUSE and now adopted by major distributions, enables integration testing across various CPU architectures and GPU stacks. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates creating screenshot tests to verify graphics pipeline functionality, starting with running tests on a developer laptop using QEMU backend. Explore the process of building a custom kernel and implementing the same OpenQA testsuite on physical hardware, providing practical insights into automated testing workflows.
