h3. Automated tests AKA nightlies

The "sepia lab":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/sepia/ runs automated teuthology tests on a regular basis. They are sometime called the *nightlies*. The schedule of the nightlies is managed by the QE team:

* [[Sepia]]

The following script is used in the above crontabs to schedule @rados@ suite.

<pre>

#!/bin/bash

# $1 - part

# $2 - branch name

# $3 - machine name

# $4 - email address

# $5 - filter out (this arg is to be at the end of the command line for now)

## example #1 

## (date +%U) week number

## % 2 - mod 2 (e.g. 0,1,0,1 ...)

## * 7 -  multiplied by 7 (e.g. 0,7,0,7...)

## $1 day of the week (0-6)

## /14 for 2 weeks

## example #2 

## (date +%U) week number

## % 4 - mod 4 (e.g. 0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3 ...)

## * 7 -  multiplied by 7 (e.g. 0,7,14,21,0,7,14,21...)

## $1 day of the week (0-6)

## /28 for 4 weeks

teuthology-suite -v -c $2 -m $3 -k distro -s rados --subset $(echo "(($(date +%U) % 4) * 7) + $1" | bc)/28 -e $4 $5

</pre>

*  suites scheduled to run on current set of supported branches: *firefly*, *giant*, *hammer*, *next* and *master*; *master* runs are used primarily for development purposes, *upgrade* tests are not scheduled to run on master.

*  *big* and *powercycle* suites are run manually

h3. Analyze

* See [[HOWTO forensic analysis of integration and upgrade tests]]

* sorting out the environmental noise

* create new bugs for errors for which there is no match in the tracker

* add a link to the failed job in pre-existing issues found in the tracker (useful to figure out the frequency and helps with debug when there are multiple outputs / logs)

h3. The ceph-qa mailing list

The results of the nightlies are published for analysis on the "ceph-qa mailing list":http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-qa-ceph.com/. For a given release, the issues that make a job fail in the nightlies need to be backported with a higher priority to reduce the noise.
