Installation Test Plan

In the table below, duplicate the italicized example rows as needed and replace the user and pass or fail with your own user name and results.

User	Description	How to Test	Expected Results	Results
	Assign ext4 fs with mount point	Prepare system with ext4 filesystem(s). Boot the installer. Select the ext4 filesystem as a mount point except of /boot, preferably some 'data' filesystem. Ensure installation is finished successfully.	ext4 filesystems are recognized. Mount point can be assigned to ext4 filesystem. Installation completes successfully. System starts properly with all filesystems mounted.
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	Create new ext4 partition (non-root fs)	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new (or use existing) partition Assign a non-rootfs mount point to the partition, choosing ext4 fs type Complete installation Reboot into post-install system	installation completes successfully post-installation system boots ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	Create new ext4 partition (root fs)	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new (or use existing) ext3 partition for /boot Create a new (or use existing) partition Assign a rootfs mount point to the partition, choosing ext4 fs type Complete installation Reboot into post-install system	installation completes successfully post-installation system boots ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	Identify ext4 filesystems	Prepare system with ext4 filesystem(s). Boot the installer. Use "Create custom layout" for partitioning and keep existing partitions. Ensure ext4 filesystems are recognized and included in list of filesystems.	Anaconda starts successfully. ext4 filesystems are detected and listed in partition layout of Disk druid screen. Disk druid allows basic manipulation with ext4 filesystems.
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	ext4 fs on LVM LV	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new (or use existing) LVM PVs Create an LVM LV using the PVs Assign a non-/boot mount point to the LVM LV, choosing ext4 fs type Complete installation Reboot into post-install system	installation completes successfully post-installation system boots ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted using LVM LV device.
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	ext4 native (non-LVM)	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new non-LVM ext4 partition and assign to / mount point complete installation	installation completes successfully post-installation system boots ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	Mount and recover ext4 partitions from rescue mode	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new (or use existing) ext4 partition and assign a non-/boot mount point complete installation reboot into post-install system using rescue mode	installation completes successfully installation enters rescue mode rescue mode detects and mounts ext4 partition successfully user can interact with ext4 filesystem (read, write & edit files)
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail
	Ext 4 fs encrypted	Boot the installer Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen Create a new (or use existing) partition Assign a non-/boot mount point to the LVM LV, choosing ext4 fs type select "encrypt" for the partition complete installation reboot into post-install system	installation completes successfully post-installation system boots ext4 filesystem is correctly identified as encrypted block device and mounted ext4 filesystem entry is present in /etc/crypttab
user	*	*	*	pass
user	*	*	*	fail

User	Description	How to Test	Expected Results	Results	Notes
who am I	summary	what I did	what should happen	what did happen (pass/fail)	notes or observations
cww	PXE boot/setup ext4 in LVM and native partitions	Start install via PXE, setup / as ext4 via LVM and /export as ext4 via a native partition	Install should complete successfully	Install completed successfully, PXE worked just fine. Both / and /export mounted post install and can been accessed via rescue mode	Tested on i386
