One Line Summary

Testing an operative systems is not easy, even more testing all the packages installed is a hard task. Let's test the system according its operation and not for the packages installed.

Abstract

Testing individually each package on a Linux distro is not a easy task. But what if we test the operation of a set of packages.

If we know the functionality of a set of packages and we know the final goal of them, we can test them as if they were one thing together and not several disjoint packages.
