Hi all, here's a summary of the topics we have discussed during QA sessions: * Migration of devstack and Tempest tests to new secure RBAC There was a great discussion about this goal, many good points raised. See the PTG etherpad for more details. * Patrole execution time improvement This is up for a few cycles already and is missing a volunteer. We will discuss next steps towards this goal during one of the following QA office hour meetings. * What FeatureFreeze means for QA projects We have discussed the types of changes we should avoid merging during Feature Freeze. * Tempest plugins should use master tempest in their testing jobs We have noticed that many check/gate CI jobs use latest tempest tag (downloaded form pip) instead of the master branch we may potentially lead to approving changes which are not compatible with the master branch of tempest. * Fix backward compatibility of run-tempest role We deprecated couple of tempest's CLI args and replaced them by new ones in 26.1.0, however, as it turns out the backward compatibility conditions in run-tempest role are not sufficient. We will try to create a stable job variant to be used in jobs with older tempest versions. * Cleanup of duplicated scenario.manager Announcing tempest.scenario.manager a stable interface in tempest 27.0.0 raises a question when to remove the duplicated scenario.manager in plugins' codebase. * Whether to branch tempest No, we won't. We wrote down all pros and cons. The main fact against is that per an agreement all stable releases + master should be tested with the same set of tests. However, we will discuss branching for EM with the release team.
