This page is intended to record installation validation testing test results for the Fedora 21 PPC milestone.

This is a first draft that keep all tests of original template to ease comparison of this specific ppc64/ppc64le (secondary architecture) results versus those of primary arch.

TODO: I still need to mark unsupported testcases with background grey lines.

Instructions

This page tracks test results against the Fedora 21 PPC build. Test results against other Fedora 21 milestones can be found at Category:Fedora_21_Test_Results. The explanation of test case priority is available in the release validation test plan.

What To Test

Tests requiring physical media (e.g. DVD or CD images) -- download the latest ISO images Alpha RC2. (link from -- ML email from pbrobinson)
Unless otherwise noted, you may use nightly Fedora 21 branch install images. Review for information on downloading and installing Branched.

Who's available

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

IRC: #fedora-ppc on irc.freenode.net
PPC Secondary Arch team - efi, gustavold, hamzy,

Menantea, Michelmno, mjwolf, Kick_, pknirsch

Add or Remove a Test Case

Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to test list.
Once reviewed, make your changes to this document
Finally, update QA:Fedora_21_Install_Results_Template with the same changes.

Workarounds

Key

See the table below for a sample format for test results. All test results are posted using the format specified Template:Result.

Test Results Format
Test Result	Explanation	Code Entered
none	Untested - This test has not been run, and is available for anyone to contribute feedback.	`{{result\|none}}`
pass robatino	Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results	`{{result\|pass\|robatino}}`
inprogress adamwill	Inprogress - An inprogress result is often used for tests that take a long time to execute. Inprogress results should be temporary and change to pass, fail or warn.	`{{result\|inprogress\|adamwill}}`
fail jlaska ^[1] ^[2]	Failed - Indicates a failed test. A link to a bug must be provided. See Template:Result for details on providing bug information. ↑ RHBZ #XYZ ↑ RHBZ #ZXY	`{{result\|fail\|jlaska\|XYZ\|ZXY}}`
warn rhe ^[1]	Warning - This test completed and met the expected results of the test, but other issues were encountered during testing that warrant attention. ↑ Brief description about the warning status	`{{result\|warn\|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref>`
pass hongqing warn kparal	Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case.	`{{result\|pass\|hongqing}} {{result\|warn\|kparal}}`
pass previous <build> run	Result from previous test run - This test result is directly moved from the test run of previous <build>.	`{{result\|pass\|previous <build> run}}`
	Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required.

Default boot and install

Bare metal testing required
Running these tests in a virtualized environment is valuable, but the test must pass on bare metal using a physical install medium for each release-blocking image in each test environment at least for the final release candidate image (i.e. the released image) for each milestone.

In all of these tests, the test case used is QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install. That is where the links point. The same test needs to be run for multiple images and target platforms. Note that the non-installer-based ARM disk images are covered by the later #ARM disk images section.
