Outline

OpenQA is free software. This tool solved a major issue of mine which I was facing while automating OS installation tests, it helped me to test the OS installation in various languages. It uses virtual machines to reproduce the process and using this tool we can interact with the OS like a user, we can send necessary keystrokes, clicks and commands to proceed that made my work very easy. This tool help to test and match with the fast upgrades and revision of the OS.
