What to test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Retrace Server and Automated Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT).

Who's available

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

• Development - Jiří Moskovčák (jmoskovc), Nikola Pajkovsky (npajkovs), Denys Vlasenko (dvlasenk), Karel Klíč (kklic), Michal Toman (mtoman)
• Quality Assurance - Michal Nowak (mnowak)

Prerequisite for Test Day

You will need either fully updated Fedora 15 system or a LiveCD image (download desktop spin).

If your system doesn't boot
There is currently some problem with SELinux that prevents system from booting on fully updated Fedora 15 installation. If that happens to you, add enforcing=0 on kernel boot line in GRUB and the system should boot fine.

How to test?

Prior to test:

• Fully update ABRT packages (even when running from LiveCD):

# yum update 'abrt*' --enablerepo=updates-testing

• Make sure abrtd and abrt-ccpp services are running:

# service abrtd start
Starting abrtd (via systemctl):                            [  OK  ]
# service abrt-ccpp start
Starting abrt-ccpp (via systemctl):                        [  OK  ]

• File /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains following output:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 636f726500

Please follow each of following ABRT test cases and sum up the results in the table below:

1. QA:Testcase ABRT CCPP addon - C/C++ tracebacks
2. QA:Testcase ABRT python - python tracebacks
3. QA:Testcase ABRT kernel - kernel oops
4. QA:TestCase ABRT BlackList - package blacklist
5. QA:Testcase ABRT quota - limiting the space occupied by ABRT's cache
6. QA:Testcase ABRT Bugzilla - Bugzilla plugin
7. QA:Testcase ABRT Logger - Logger plugin
8. QA:Testcase ABRT Mailx - Mailx plugin
9. QA:Testcase ABRT SOSreport plugin - sosreport integration with ABRT
10. QA:Testcase ABRT GUI MAIN - testing the GUI (probably already during the previous steps, so just to sum it up)
11. QA:Testcase ABRT CLI - CLI interface
12. QA:Testcase ABRT GUI Localized - exploring localized GUI
13. QA:Testcase ABRT CLI Localized - exploring localized CLI
14. QA:Testcase Retrace Server CLI - Retrace Server CLI
15. QA:Testcase Retrace Server GUI - Retrace Server in ABRT GUI
16. QA:Testcase ABRT third party event extension - event configuration

Close all fake bugs you create!
During certain test cases you will be required to simulate application crashes and report these crashes into Bugzilla. It is very important that after every such fake report you open the link provided by ABRT and close that bug as NOTABUG with comment like "ABRT testing bug". Otherwise you would overload package developers with fake bug reports. Thank you.

Report SELinux denials against ABRT
If you encounter some SELinux (AVC) denials during testing, please report them against the abrt package, not selinux package. Thanks.

Test Results

If you have suggestions about UI, send them via email to developers and/or create a bug report.

Please report all bugs into Bugzilla against the abrt component and Fedora 15 release.
