PROFILE
Kate Shvaika
Worked on the RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests repository to modernize and stabilize storage-related test infrastructure over six months. Focused on improving CI reliability by quarantining flaky tests, refactoring storage test suites, and migrating test data sources from Cirros to Fedora for more realistic scenarios. Enhanced diagnostics and error handling using Python and Pytest, introduced dynamic DataVolume utilities, and streamlined test orchestration for faster feedback. Leveraged DevOps practices with Kubernetes and OpenShift to align tests with evolving workflows, reduced maintenance overhead, and improved test coverage. These efforts resulted in more maintainable, reliable, and efficient automated testing for virtualization and storage features.

Mar 1, 2026Month: 2026-03 — Major modernization of the storage-test infrastructure in RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests, delivering Fedora-based test fixtures and dynamic data sources to improve realism and reliability. Replaced Cirros/artifactory with Fedora DataSource across storage tests, added a dedicated utility to extract DataVolume sizes, and updated fixtures to support Fedora-based storage scenarios. Expanded testing coverage to include Fedora OS flavor, and improved permission validation for restricted namespaces. Standardized and simplified test wiring to reduce duplication and maintenance overhead. Impact: Faster, more reliable CI feedback with realistic Fedora data sources; easier onboarding for new tests; better alignment with upstream CNV and DataSource-based workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python-based test fixtures and utilities, DataSource/DataVolume concepts, fixture scoping, test refactoring for maintainability, Fedora OS flavor support, CI integration.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 (2026-01) — RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests: Delivered stability and maintainability improvements to the test suite. Quarantined flaky storage class migration tests to prevent CI blockers, updated test cases to mark known issues as expected failures, and simplified test logic. Updated storage test metadata to align with current bug tracking (CNV-62312, CNV-18870, CNV-74020) and updated target version references; ensured compatibility with 4.21.x/4.22.x lines. Result: reduced CI noise, faster feedback to developers, and a more maintainable test harness.

Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, focused on CI reliability improvements in RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests by removing a flaky scratch-space upload test (test_upload_https_scratch_space_delete_pvc). This involved quarantining the test, tagging as xfail, and applying a patch to remove it from the active suite. The effort reduces CI instability and shortens feedback loops for developers working on virtualization test suites.
