[Qgis-psc] Grant QEP 180 report - Quality Assurance methodology and infrastructure

[Alexandre Neto]

Dear PSC,

Here is the report about the QEP 180 (
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/180) QGIS Quality
Assurance methodology and infrastructure. All the tasks described in the
proposal have been implemented.

Firstly, a Python plugin called Tester has been updated to run on QGIS 3.x
and has been published in the QGIS Official Plugins repository (
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgistester/). It allows to run automated
and semi-automated tests and helps to conduct testing by providing
step-by-step instructions to perform manual or verification tasks. An
initial small set of tests for QGIS core functionality has been implemented
as a separate QGIS Core Tests plugin which is also available from the QGIS
Official Plugins repository (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/coretests/).

Secondly, a test management system based on KIWI TCMS has been set up at
https://qgis.tenant.kiwitcms.org/. We are finalizing the creation of an
initial test plan with several examples of test cases that can be used as a
starting point during the testing process for the upcoming release of QGIS
3.18.

Finally, documentation for testers has been created and published at
https://github.com/qcooperative/qgis-testing. It covers all the steps
needed to participate in the testing process, from setting up a clean
environment to running tests and creating new test cases in the KIWI TCMS.

Thanks a lot for this opportunity, we hope it's a huge step forward for
QGIS QA!

Best regards,

Alexandre Neto
