Jul 1, 2026July 2026 (2026-07) monthly summary for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci. This month focused on strengthening end-to-end validation of CephFS subvolume metrics in the OCS CI suite by delivering automated UI tests under active workloads, expanding the test framework with provisioning helpers and namespace-scoped page objects, and refining metric unit assertions to align with console-driven unit formatting. These efforts improve confidence in the ODF console metrics display and accelerate regression testing of performance data.
