Abstract

The GNOME project has some end-to-end tests running with openQA and os-autoinst. So far these test GNOME OS integration, the Shell and core applications, accessibility features and more. However, all these tests assume a desktop form factor.

To help GNOME work well on mobile, we also have a gnome_mobile test suite, but there are currently some missing features in QEMU and os-autoinst which limits how useful these tests are.

This lightning talk will cover:

  • Why mobile devices are different from desktops and laptops, and why the current gnome_mobile tests are not good enough
  • How QEMU can better support mobile form factors
  • What we might need in os-autoinst to start simulating multi-touch inputs to a mobile device.
