In Sonobuoy 0.15.4, we introduced the ability for plugins to report their plugin's progress to Sonobuoy by using a customizable webhook. Reporting status is incredibly important for long-running, opaque plugins like the e2e plugin, which runs the Kubernetes conformance tests.
We're happy to announce that as of Kubernetes 1.17.0, the Kubernetes end-to-end (E2E) test framework will utilize this webhook to provide feedback about how many tests will be run, have been run, and which tests have failed. This feedback helps you see if tests are failing (and which ones) before waiting for the entire run to finish. It also helps you identify whether tests are hanging or progressing.
