QA-related tools and services
''Dashboard'' services that gather information about packages or teams
Debian Package Tracker: qa.debian.org/distro-tracker (https://tracker.debian.org/)
(superseded by Debian Package Tracker:) Package Tracking System: qa.debian.org/pts (https://packages.qa.debian.org/)
the UltimateDebianDatabase (provides a SQL-based interface to access the data of most services listed below)
https://portfolio.debian.net/ (Portfolio Service, inspired by DDPortfolio)
Tools and services related to building packages
reproducible.d.n (reproducibly building the archive)
MassRebuilds: regular archive rebuilds in the cloud
Was used for building with make --shuffle and double builds
clang (rebuilding the archive using the clang compiler)
crossqa.d.n (rebuilding the archive using the cross compilers)
(Discontinued) bls (checks buildd logs for unstable for irregularities and warnings)
rebuild-all-the-things (ratt) (check reverse build depends still work)
Tools and services related to installation, upgrade and removal of packages, and dependencies satisfiability
- Dependencies checkers:
Debcheck (missing Depends, ?PreDepends, Recommends, Suggests, etc.)
Dose Tools (archive wide tests, e.g.: non-installable packages, Debian weather, missing conflicts, ... Formerly known as EDOS) (debian-installer dose checks)
piuparts (package installation, upgrading and removal testing suite)
Colis (formal verification of maintainer scripts)
Other tools/services for testing/checking/linting packages
dh_auto_test (runs upstream test suites during build)
debci (continuous integration)
autopkgtest docs wiki pages: debci ContinuousIntegration
watch files (watch file checker)
Repology problems (another URL checker)
dedup (Debian duplication detector)
multiarch hints (hints for correcting multi-arch data)
Debian Janitor's multiarch-fixes (package VCS auto-fixing service)
pkg-abidiff and abipkgdiff (from abigail-tools) (compare ABIs between package versions)
vcswatch (version control system checker)
Clonewise (checks for embedded code copies, service not yet setup)
lintian (package static analysis)
DACA (code static analysis, LoC counting etc)
DACA2 (cppcheck results) (newer report)
tarzeau's static analysis report (cmetrics codespell cppcheck cqmetrics flawfinder graudit shellcheck splint)
adequate (checking installed systems for issues)
Tools/services for semi-automated or automated updates to packages
Debian Janitor's lintian-fixes (package VCS auto-fixing service)
lintian-brush (package auto-fixing tool)
Config::Model editor: can update debian/ directory files, to fix issues etc
routine-update: perform common packaging cleanups
Tools, services and documentation for scheduling and running tests
- Local tools
check-all-the-things (check packages and upstream code using various tools)
- Services (orchestrators)
Jenkins (continuous integration) - also see Services/jenkins.debian.net
UltimateDebianDatabase: manages regular checks for new upstream versions (uscan), URLs (duck), lintian, etc.
the tooling used for archive rebuilds (https://salsa.debian.org/lucas/collab-qa-tools) has minimal support for performing other kinds of resource-intensive tests
openQA (continuous integration)
(Discontinued) Debile (DACA, but slightly less professional, and can do slightly more in a more stupid way.
(Discontinued?) ditto (TODO list) (service): tool in development for registration of manual procedures/testing results
- Documentation
CD release testing (manual testing of CD image releases)
u-boot status: (manual testing of u-boot releases on various boards)
Secure Boot testing (manual testing of Secure Boot)
LTS testing (manual/automatic testing that LTS updates don't break packages)
Other manual testing: diaspora emacspeak samba DebianEdu Indian support kFreeBSD GuruPlug
Other tools and services
Package Popularity Contest: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php and https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php
how-can-i-help: (find bugs/packages to work on)
security tracker (tracks CVE issues)
Work-Needing and Prospective Packages: https://wnpp.debian.net/

Ideas for new tools or services
Some QA related services that Debian lacks:
Library API/ABI tracking (using pkg-abidiff or abipkgdiff from abigail-tools)
Continuous testing for unused build-depends (cf 890195)
