 @davidak:matrix.org | i guess everything. improve quality with any method
i established the term "package tests" in the manual, i do manual tests before release, i test prs like the gui installer, i test pantheon as part of it's maintainer team, i review prs, i create automated test, i improve and extend the manual, i try to establish a vision for nixpkgs, ..... | 14:36:31 |
| @davidak:matrix.org | i professionally work in QA and our team does manual tests for release und automate testing where possible. i think that belongs in one team, to have a common goal. there can still be people that only work in one area and maybe separate chat rooms if it helps decluttering, but we should coordinate the efforts more | 14:42:14 |

| @davidak:matrix.org | i just do my own thing and have my own standards for quality (often too perfectionistic). i would like to have a consensus on what level of quality we work towards and a combined effort on that. maybe even policies or recommendations. it's often unclear to me what and to i do things. so i try to learn how it is done or propose something and hope the reviewers are satisfied. i got a lot of such into the manual, like "how to deprecate packages" | 14:49:16 |
| Wanja Hentze | I think VM-based NixOS tests are seriously cool | 14:50:08 |
| Wanja Hentze | We have a few at work but almost nobody knows how to properly write them | 14:50:26 |
| Wanja Hentze | the ones who do learned by looking at random nixpgks code | 14:51:00 |

| Wanja Hentze | also, maybe a NixOS Containers based variant could make sense. for when you're testing rather high-level things and test performance is more important than precise control over kernel version | 14:54:58 |

| Wanja Hentze | has anybody tried integrating GUI test automation like appium or robot framework into these? would it make sense? | 14:58:29 |
