Introduction
This document describes the tests that will be created and used to verify the installation of Fedora 12.
The goals of this plan are to:
- Organize the test effort
- Communicate the planned tests to all relevant stake-holders for their input and approval
- Serve as a base for the test planning for future Fedora 12 releases
Test Strategy
Fedora QA project organizes testing of software as it is released into Rawhide, updates-testing, or as it appears in a supported public release.We will announce test day in fedora-test-list and organize to run test day to co-ordinate focused testing on a specific feature or component in community. These tests include manual or automatic testing.If you'd like to help making Fedora better,please join us in test day or other Fedora QA activities
