Reusability
~~~~~~~~~~~
The infrastructure team leverages resources donated from companies operating
OpenStack services and manages their own OpenStack deployment. The community
uses the software it produces as a tool for testing it. Every day, contributors
submit thousands of patches for review. Infrastructure tools deploy each patch
and test it against thousands of tests and scenarios. This volume provides an
opportunity to improve the software we write by giving us first-hand experience
with issues at scale. The benefit of fixing these issues for the OpenStack CI
system is two-fold:
1. It makes the test platform more stable and robust
2. Products or services benefits from the fix being applied upstream
Don't Repeat Yourself or Your Testing (DRY)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The culture built around extensive testing in OpenStack makes it easier for us
to trust patches proposed for review. We've integrated this culture into our
review process. Duplicating a social and technical CI system of this size takes
incredible amounts of time, people, and patience. Bolstering the CI system we
already have in place allows you to focus on testing that is specific to your
product or service.
Immediate Feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The OpenStack CI system is the backbone of feedback for contributors and
operators. Users get this feedback early, ideally before the patch lands.
Ensuring early feedback through a robust CI system and testing means fewer
surprises down the road when you attempt to integrate your product into a new
release or deploy a new version of a service.
