Yes, I've looked at it. I'm wondering what Sparky can do that either 
openQA or autopkgtest cannot do...
Also I noticed in [1] that it mentions Ubuntu, not Debian, so I'm 
confused _what_ is tested.

See for an extensive example of console-based testing one of the 
openSUSE tests [2]. The Debian tests on openQA are currently all 
GUI-based, but it might be that in some future there will also be 
console-based tests, depending on the use case.

So my previous question still stands:

With kind regards,
