Re: Contribution request for 'Sparky'

Ok , I have skimmed through the autopkgtest, looks like this is more embedded into a package unit test thing  , while sparky is more like integrated testing with more general approach, closer to end to end testing , once a demo server is ready you will be able to see it

It looks a bit like the functionality that is present in autopkgtest:
running commands and verifying their output.
Note that openQA is targeting graphical tests (although SUSE has an
impressive amount of tests running purely on the console).

Can you provide a comparison chart to compare your tool with e.g.
openQA, autopkgtest, ...?

Do you have a server where the tool can be seen live?

With kind regards,
