Cross-project testing
From https://docs.openstack.org/infra/zuul/user/gating.html#cross-project-testing:
When your projects are closely coupled together, you want to make sure changes entering the gate are going to be tested with the version of other projects currently enqueued in the gate (since they will eventually be merged and might introduce breaking features).
Such relationships can be defined in Zuul configuration by placing projects in a shared queue within a dependent pipeline. Whenever changes for any project enter a pipeline with such a shared queue, they are tested together, such that the commits for the changes ahead in the queue are automatically present in the jobs for the changes behind them. See Project for more details.
A given dependent pipeline may have as many shared change queues as necessary, so groups of related projects may share a change queue without interfering with unrelated projects. Independent pipelines do not use shared change queues, however, they may still be used to test changes across projects using cross-project dependencies.
