Template:Installation test matrix

Template documentation [edit]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Installation test matrix/doc. It will not be transcluded on pages that use this template.

Wikitcms core page
This page is a core component of the Wikitcms system for storing release validation testing results in the Fedora wiki. This system relies on specific expectations regarding page naming, contents, and categorization. Please take special care when editing this page, especially if you change any element of wiki syntax, especially templating elements. If you are at all unsure about the consequences of your planned change, please contact the QA group before applying it.

This template contains the Installation 'test matrix' of test cases that are usually executed as part of release validation testing. It is pulled into release validation results pages using several nested templates, and can be used in other pages as appropriate. If all you need to do is add, remove or edit a Installation validation test case, though, don't worry about that stuff, and put it in here.

Please click [show] in each table to view the tests of each media installation, and click [edit] to post your test results using the syntax in Key Section.

Image sanity

Milestone	Test Case	Server	Workstation	Spins	ARM disks	Cloud
Alpha / Final	QA:Testcase_Mediakit_Checksums	none	none	none	none	none
Beta	QA:Testcase_Mediakit_ISO_Size	none	none	none		none
Alpha	QA:Testcase_Mediakit_Repoclosure	none
Alpha	QA:Testcase_Mediakit_FileConflicts	none

Default boot and install (x86_64)

Single test table
In all of these tests, the test case used is QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install. That is where the links point. The same test needs to be run for multiple images, target platforms, and install media. Note that the non-installer-based ARM disk images are covered by the later #ARM disk images section. The VM columns are for results from testing in a virtual machine. The CD/DVD columns are for results from testing on a real system with the image written to a real CD or DVD. The USB columns are for results from testing on a real system with the image written to a USB stick.

Expected coverage
For Alpha and Beta, we expect a reasonable sampling of tests across the table, with at least some testing for all three media types, both firmware types, and each major class of deliverable (netinst, live and DVD). For Final, we expect full coverage for all the Alpha / Final rows.

Default boot and install (i386)

Below is the table for i386 tests, collapsed by default (click 'show' in the Milestone column to show it). Since Fedora 24, i386 is no longer a release-blocking architecture, and these tests are all optional.

ARM disk images

Single test table
In all of these tests, the test case used is QA:Testcase_arm_image_deployment. That is where the links point. The same test needs to be run for multiple images and target platforms.
