Motivation
 
In order to make the CI workflow reliable and efficient it is crucial to keep the test coverage in a good shape at all times. Sharing test code between several packages (even within multiple branches of the same package) may significantly help to:
 
Prevent test code duplication
 
Minimize test maintenance
 
Catch incompatibilities early
 
In general, tests define how the software works and the basic functionality of many packages doesn’t change that often. We try hard to keep the backward compatibility where possible. Thus it seems natural that, for such components, tests guarding the spec could change at a slower pace than the distribution branches.
 
See the whole https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ci@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/55U6V6UHA54MJLD2F6JF46EOLMVRUAE7[ci-list discussion] for some more context.
 
Implementation
 
Store test code in your preferred repository and reference the tests from the dist-git yaml file. There is also a special `tests` namespace dedicated for storing Fedora CI integration tests:
 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/projects/tests/*
 
Use `fedpkg` to quickly clone repositories from the tests namespace:
 
fedpkg clone tests/shell
 
tmt
 
Enabling tests from a remote repository using xref:tmt.adoc[tmt] is straightforward:
 
discover:
how: fmf
url: https://src.fedoraproject.org/tests/shell.git
 
See the https://tmt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spec/plans.html#fmf[discover] step documentation for more details.
 
STI
 
Some of the xref:standard-test-roles.adoc[Standard Test Roles] (currently basic and beakerlib) support fetching test code from remote repositories directly in their config in this way:
