Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule - which should be linked at QA/Test_Days - and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on <<FIXME>>

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion:

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • A fully updated Fedora 13 or 14

How to test?

High level details on how a contributor can get involved. This can include (but not limited to):

  • Areas to target with exploratory testing
  • A list of pre-defined test cases to execute
  • How to report back results

Here's another common chunk (again, replace XX as above):

Update your machine

If you're running Fedora XX, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:

Live image

Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD. Live images can be found here.

Test Cases

Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute. For other examples, see Category:Test_Cases.

Test Results

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla for the openscap component. 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.
