Our Mission

To use and make free and open source software tests, testing tools, and test processes in order to make Fedora (and, by extension, all free and open source software) more awesome.

About the Project

Meetings


Current Subprojects

1. Test Plans for Fedora components

  • QA/ReleaseCriteria is used as a base for creating release test plans.
  • QA/FC6TreeTesting is the most recently-used release test plan.
  • Fedora Unity has a test plan for their respin release
  • QA/HowToTestTemplate is a test plan template for an individual package.
  • Write a Xen test plan
  • Identify "tiers" of functionality - Tier1 = most important (system boots, etc.)
  • Write more detailed test plans for important apps (Firefox, Evolution, etc.)
  • Include documentation on how to test, like AnacondaHowToTest
  • Put together a central tracker for test plans and testing progress
    1. Executing test plans
  • Volunteers! We'll need volunteers!
  • We may run Bug Days where everyone takes a test plan and runs with it.
    1. BugZappers
  • Revive Bug Days!
  • Make Bugzilla send out weekly reports of new bugs, bugs closed, etc. to fedora-triage-list

  • Further ideas for testing/QA projects
  • Volunteers to run subprojects
  • Roadmaps for other subprojects
  • More volunteers!
