Prerequisite for Test Day

You will need either fully updated Fedora 15 system or a live image for ABRT.

Fedora 15 installation

If you don't already have existing Fedora 15 installation, you may get LiveCD.

How to test?

Prio to test: Make sure abrtd service is running as well as abrt-cpp service was started and /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains e.g. |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 636f726500

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

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