Test Results:Fedora 21 Rawhide 2014 05 Base

This page records base validation testing test results for Rawhide nightly builds in the month of May 2014.

Not mandatory testing
This testing is not in any way mandatory, but rather precautionary / exploratory. No Fedora release depends on this testing being performed. Due to the longer Fedora 21 release cycle, we think it is a good idea to keep an eye on the status of Rawhide before we reach the Alpha milestone, however no-one should feel obliged in any way to participate in this testing, and certainly not to work excessively long, late or hard on it.

How to test

1. Download the required Rawhide nightly live image, x86_64 or i386 network install image, or ARM or Cloud disk image. If you use the network install image, enter the date on which you downloaded it as the 'build date' in your results (see #Key). Some tests may specify use of either a traditional installer image (the DVD image, or a net install image) or a live image; please follow these specifications. Note that if generation of the boot.iso images fails for a given day, the file will not be present on the mirrors (the last successful compose is not retained). In this case, you just have to wait for a successful compose, or use one of the other images/methods described on this page.
2. Perform one or more of the test cases and add your results to the table below.
3. If a test fails, file a bug report, and propose the bug as a blocker for the appropriate release (see blocker bug process). If you notice a problem during a test which does not constitute a complete failure of the test, you should still file a bug report, but it may not be appropriate to propose it as a blocker. Use your judgment in deciding this, with reference to the Fedora_Release_Criteria, which these tests are intended to verify. If you are unsure, err on the side of proposing the bug as a blocker.
4. Don't install updates before performing any of the tests, as when you are testing pre-releases, available updates are not part of the proposed released package set.

Virtual machine testing
In most cases, testing in a virtual machine is OK.

Add or Remove a Test Case

1. Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to test@lists.fedoraproject.org.
2. Once reviewed, make your changes to any current documents that use this template (e.g. Test Results:Fedora 21 Rawhide 2014 05 Base)
3. Lastly, update QA:Base validation results template with the same changes.

Key

See the table below for a sample format for test results. All test results are posted using the format specified Template:Result.

Test Results Format
Test Result	Explanation	Code Entered
none	Untested - This test has not been run, and is available for anyone to contribute feedback.	{{result|none}}
pass robatino 20140515	Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|pass|robatino}} 20140515
inprogress adamwill	Inprogress - An inprogress result is often used for tests that take a long time to execute. Inprogress results should be temporary and change to pass, fail or warn.	{{result|inprogress|adamwill}}
fail jlaska 20140515	Failed - Indicates a failed test. A link to a bug must be provided. See Template:Result for details on providing bug information. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|fail|jlaska|XYZ|ZXY}} 20140515
warn rhe 20140515	Warning - This test completed and met the expected results of the test, but other issues were encountered during testing that warrant attention. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|warn|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref> 20140515
pass hongqing 20140515 warn kparal 20140518	Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case.	{{result|pass|hongqing}} 20140515 {{result|warn|kparal}} 20140518
	Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required.
