Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest.

openQA is an open source testing tool, intended to run automated quality assurance tests for operating systems^[1].

The openQA test API has helpers for graphical user interface testing. Tests can navigate a GUI using fuzzy image matching to search for UI elements such as buttons and text entry fields. These are matched against precreated screenshots called needles^[2].

openQA is used by several major Linux distributions to do quality assurance testing of their releases. Known users include Debian^[3], Fedora^[4], and openSUSE.

The software is developed primarily by a team at openSUSE and had its first stable release in 2011^[1].
