What is "QUASTe" ?
QUASTe is the abbreviation for 'Quality Assurance Statuspage'. The word 'Quaste' is german for 'tassle' so this name found out to be adequate as here 'all strings run together'.

Meanwhile there are a lot of automated tests available. With this number of tests it would last nearly 1 week to test 1 build completely. After all automated tests passed the testers have to verify the results...this will take also some time. Because of this conditions the QA Automation Team decided to create a test cycle that covers a meaningful number of tests run on each build. The outcome of this category's are 4 in numbers
- 0 : Tests run on all builds and releases
- 1 : Tests run on the first build (plus tests from category 0)
- 2 : Tests run on the second build (plus tests from category 0)
- 3 : Tests run on the third build (plus tests from category 0)
To make it easy for all involved the rules what type of test is included in what category is not strict documented. Except category 0 which holds all automated tests required for release testing (mostly resource or update-tests). For all other 3 category's it should be observed they have the approximate duration. This model shortens a test cycle for each build to a maximum of 2,5 days. A list of all automated tests and its category's can be found here => All current tests
