QualityAssurance
In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1].
Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson
Test Days
This week's[1] was on the Noveau driver[2]for NVIDIA video cards, which will become the default in Fedora 11. Thanks to an excellent turnout, over 80 sets of results were reported, and several bug reports were made: some of the issues have already been resolved. The developer present was Ben Skeggs, and Adam Williamson, James Laska and Will Woods were present for the QA team.
Next week again will see two test days. The first[3] will be on the radeon driver for ATI graphics cards, while the second[4] will be on [5] power management. Live CDs will be available for both test days so you'll be able to test without a Rawhide installation. The Radeon test day will be held on Wednesday (2009-03-01) and the Power Management test day on Thursday (2009-03-02) in the #fedora-qa channel on Freenode IRC. If you have a Radeon graphics card, please make sure to come along to the first test day; if you have a laptop, please come to the second. If you can't make it on the day, please do the tests and fill out your results on the page another day.
Weekly meetings
The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-03-25. Will Woods reported that the Fedora 11 beta release had slipped.
James Laska reported that packaging work on the Semantic extension for Mediawiki was progressing, and one package had already passed review. He also noted that he had created a test Mediawiki instance with the extension enabled, but had not yet been able to do much testing. Adam Williamson confirmed that he also had not had time to do much testing.
Adam Williamson reported that planning for the Radeon test day was still in progress. He also reported that Bugzappers team review of Anaconda bugs for the Fedora 11 beta release had been successfully completed.
Adam Williamson reported that the Xfce test day was fully planned, and Kevin Fenzi reported that he had successfully generated some live CD images for the test day. Adam asked if someone could make sure these images would be available for download.
Will Woods reported that he had been testing upgrade scenarios for the Fedora 11 beta release and had found several bugs in this area.
James Laska noted that most critical bugs for the beta release were already known and being tracked, and re-testing was not necessary for any known issues. A long discussion followed on the correct place and format in which to note known issues. The group agreed that known issues for the beta release should be noted within the beta release notes as separate sub-headings, and a concerted effort should be made to make sure that the release notes were referred to in all official, semi-official and unofficial communications regarding the beta release. Will Woods' suggestion that this was a job for the <marquee> tag was roundly rejected.
