Revision as of 23:12, 8 July 2014

This page records base system validation testing test results for the Fedora (VERSION) (PRE-RELEASE) release.

How to test

  1. Download the ISO images for testing: please use one of the release media for the Product being tested. Tests in this page should not be desktop dependent, so which live image you select should not matter. Delta_ISOs for installer images are also available here. 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.
  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. QA:Base validation results template)
  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.
