Description

There are 2 branches currently in this repository that start adding QoS tests:

These should probably be combined, but then we run into a combinatorial problem; we would test all combinations of RMW implementations x the rclcpp or rclpy x all QoS parameters, which would lead to a very long test. What we should probably do is combine the above, and then choose some subset of the tests that make sense and run those.

Research direction

Compare the qos-durability and qos_tests branches first, then review how their tests cover RMW implementations, rclcpp, rclpy, and QoS parameters. The work is done when the branches are reconciled and a practical, agreed test subset or matrix avoids the combinatorial test explosion.
