os-autoinst | OS-level test automation

Under openSUSE the os-autoinst package can be installed from the official repository or from our devel repository. For further details, have a look at the openQA documentation.
in the top folder which automatically creates a build directory and builds the complete project. to list all available targets. The above commands use a convenience Makefile calling cmake. For packaging, when using an IDE or to conduct the steps manually it is suggested to use CMake directly and do the following: Create a build directory outside of the source directory. The following commands need to be invoked within that directory. You can specify any of the standard CMake variables, e.g. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug and -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/custom/install/prefix. The following examples assume that GNU Make is used. It is possible to generate for a different build tool by adding e.g. -G Ninja to the CMake arguments.
When using the test-perl-testsuite target, ctest is not used (and therefore ctest specific tweaks have no effect).
One can always run Perl tests manually via prove after the build has been conducted with make symlinks. Note that some tests need to be invoked within the t directory. An invocation like prove -vI.. -I../external/os-autoinst-common/lib 28-signalblocker.t is supposed to work.
It is also possible to run ctest within the build directory directly instead of using the mentioned targets.
All mentioned variables to influence the test execution (TESTS, WITH_COVER_OPTIONS, …) can be combined and can also be used with the coverage target.
