Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on testing the rewritten and updated LiveUSB Creator tool, now known as [[Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable|'''Fedora Media Writer''']], for different operating systems and architectures. The new tool is intended to be provided as the primary download option for Fedora 24 Workstation, with the aim of lowering the barrier for potential users to try and install Fedora.
 
===Benefits to Fedora===
It will provide an easy-to-use tool for all major platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X) which will be offered to users as the primary download option. That should generally lower the barrier for potential users to try and install Fedora.

== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results.  Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
Please enter your results on the [http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/NUMBER result page]. The results will be transferred here after the Test Day is finished.
 
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla].If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.
