Test Orchestration using Tekton
summary
IBM uses Tekton on OpenShift to orchestrate heterogeneous tests (pytest, Ansible, Selenium, Perl/SQL) across infrastructure, platform and workloads, claiming a converted pipeline for pytest via small scripts that converts pytest into Tekton tasks and auto-generates pipelines. Pipelines run natively on the cluster, enabling parallel pipelines running on-cluster, parameter passing between layers, selectable test sets per platform (x86, Z, Power, cloud), CI→CD→CT integration, faster execution and reduced QA pipeline assembly; Selenium/Ansible support is work in progress and current use is internal IBM.
