Fedora 12 Installation Test Plan
Introduction
This document describes the tests that will be created and used to verify the installation of Fedora 12.
The goals of this plan are to:
- Organize the test effort
- Communicate the strategy, scope and priorities of the planned tests to all relevant stake-holders for their input and approval
- Serve as a base for the test planning for future Fedora releases
Test Strategy
Instead of outlining all possible installation inputs and outputs, this test plan will focus on defining inputs and outputs at different stages in anaconda. This will also allow different tests to be performed independently during a single installation. For example, one may execute a kickstart delivery via HTTP, raid0 partitioning using 3 physical disks, and a minimal package installation on a para-virtualized xen guest all in single installation. Scenarios where the stages are dependent will be indicated as such in the test case.
Where possible, SNAKE will be used to automate and aid in reproducibility.
New features of Fedora 12
The following list of features was obtained from Anaconda/Features. Test plans for these features will be designed/developed on each feature page.
- Anaconda/Features at Anaconda/Features
- Fedora 12 Accepted Features at Releases/12/FeatureList
Schedule/Milestones
- The Fedora 12 release schedule is available at Releases/12/Schedule
- Each major milestone will demand a full regression run (Alpha, Beta, PreviewRelease)
Community Testing
- The Fedora 12 test day is available at QA/Test_Days/F12
- Location of download:please go to test day QA/Test_Days/F12 to download the latest media for testing
Test Environment/Configs
For Fedora 12,we will execute test cases on these hardware platforms:
- i386
- ppc
- x86_64
Test Cases/Priority
- This test plan will use priority of 3 level for test cases
- level 1 is intended to verify that installation is possible on common hardware using common use cases.
- level 2 takes a step further to include more use cases.
- level 3 captures the remaining identified use cases
- Test cases for Fedora 12 ,please refer to QA:Fedora_12_Install_Results_Template#Test_Areas
Reporting Bugs and Debugging Problems
