tmt - Test Management Tool
Petr Šplíchal, Miloš Prchlík

The tmt tool provides a user-friendly way to work with tests. You can comfortably create new tests, safely and easily run tests across different environments, review test results, debug test code and enable tests in the CI using a consistent and concise config.
The python module and command-line tool implement the Metadata Specification which allows storing all needed test execution data directly within a git repository. Together with the possibility to reference remote repositories it makes it easy to share test coverage across projects and distros.

The Flexible Metadata Format fmf is used to store data in both human and machine readable way close to the source code. Thanks to inheritance and elasticity metadata are organized in the structure efficiently, preventing unnecessary duplication.

Presenters

Petr Šplíchal

Principal Quality Engineer at Red Hat working on improving testing tools and processes. Lately focused on tmt, the Test Management Tool, which aims to provide a comfortable and efficient way to develop tests
and enable them easily and consistently all the way from the upstream project, through Fedora and CentOS Stream to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Petr likes listening, connecting people & interesting ideas, designing elegant solutions and automating tedious tasks. He loves silence, singing, playing the organ and leading the choir.

Miloš Prchlík

Principal Software Quality Engineer at Red Hat sitting on two chairs: during the day working on various CI systems and components, focused mostly on provisioning and tmt development, and at night, he's testing good ol' *nix toolchain tools.

He's focusing on improving reliability and stability in the world of infrastructure issues. In his spare time, he likes good company, good food, hiking, or building a custom LLVM backend from time to time.
