Hi,

How does the concept "Open QA" relates to Neon, if at all, and what purpose does it serve? Thanks.

Openqa is a super high-level testing framework, in fact, it is so high-level you can test Windows or BSD or Linux and it makes (almost) no difference. It basically allows you to write automated test scenarios to be run almost exactly as if a user performed the steps themselves. For example, issuing a mouse click in openqa looks to the entire operating system as if a real user clicked a real mouse. This allows near-real-life test scenarios to be run on any software (at a higher cost of creating the test and maintaining it; it's not all sunshine with openqa ).
In neon we use openqa for ISO verification, some core plasma functionality, and are working on additional application testing.

Thank you Harald. Much appreciated.
