=== Call for Anaconda test cases ===
=== Test Days ===


[[User:Clumens|Chris Lumens]] posted a call for test cases<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-December/095816.html</ref> for automated storage testing in Anaconda, the Fedora system installer. Several people followed up with suggestions for tests.
The Fedora 15 Test Day calendar is starting to take shape, and you can see what events are planned so far on the Wiki page<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_15_test_days</ref>. The first Test Day slot is 2011-01-27. If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 15 cycle, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac<ref>http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/</ref>.

=== Hands-on Bugzapping session at FOSS.in ===
 
=== Blocker bug tracking process improvements ===


Following some discussion on possible improvements to monitoring blocker bug trackers<ref>http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/89</ref>, [[User:Bruno|Bruno Wolff]] provided some prefab Bugzilla queries for finding blocker bugs which have been closed but not verified<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bruno#Mockup_for_QA_-_Tracking_bug_queries</ref>, to help ensure that blocker bugs do not drop off the radar if they are improperly closed.
[[User:Siddhesh|Siddhesh Poyarekar]] announced his intention<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-December/095926.html</ref> to run a hands-on introduction to bug triage at FOSS.in<ref>http://foss.in/</ref>, a major F/OSS event in India. The event will take place during the Fedora mini-conference on 2010-12-16. [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] will help him with this effort<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-December/095927.html</ref>.

=== Update testing process improvements ===
=== Bugzappers meeting time change ===


[[User:Kevin|Kevin Fenzi]] posted a call for ideas and comments on potential improvements and adjustments to the update testing processes<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-November/095756.html</ref>. An extensive discussion followed, and the various ideas presented and discussed will feed into FESCo's consideration of the topic.
At the first Bugzappers meeting for a while<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-12-07/fedora-meeting.2010-12-07-21.04.html</ref>, the group agreed that in the future, meetings would be held bi-weekly from 2011-01-11, at 21:00 UTC.

=== Critical path test case creation process ===
=== Bugzappers component prioritization ===


[[User:Adamwill|Adam Williamson]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-December/095857.html</ref> that he had opened a trac ticket<ref>http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/154</ref> to track the creation of a framework for package-specific test cases to aid the critical path package update testing process. Several recent discussions within both the development and QA groups had reinforced the need for specific test cases for critical path package updates, and he planned to create a framework to aid the creation of these tests and their integration into Bodhi, fedora-easy-karma and similar tools.
Also at the Bugzappers meeting, the group agreed it would be beneficial to look at which of the critical path components (the packages Bugzappers aim to work on with the most priority) are actually very commonly subject to bug reports which require triage, and prioritize those components, listing them on the components page<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Components_and_Triagers</ref> in a separate table, to make it easier for new triagers to pick a component which will be practical to work on. Andrew Roth volunteered to work on this.

Test Days

The Fedora 15 Test Day calendar is starting to take shape, and you can see what events are planned so far on the Wiki page[1]. The first Test Day slot is 2011-01-27. If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 15 cycle, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[2].

Hands-on Bugzapping session at FOSS.in

Siddhesh Poyarekar announced his intention[3] to run a hands-on introduction to bug triage at FOSS.in[4], a major F/OSS event in India. The event will take place during the Fedora mini-conference on 2010-12-16. Rahul Sundaram will help him with this effort[5].

Bugzappers meeting time change

At the first Bugzappers meeting for a while[1], the group agreed that in the future, meetings would be held bi-weekly from 2011-01-11, at 21:00 UTC.

Bugzappers component prioritization

Also at the Bugzappers meeting, the group agreed it would be beneficial to look at which of the critical path components (the packages Bugzappers aim to work on with the most priority) are actually very commonly subject to bug reports which require triage, and prioritize those components, listing them on the components page[1] in a separate table, to make it easier for new triagers to pick a component which will be practical to work on. Andrew Roth volunteered to work on this.
