QA:Desktop validation testing

Introduction

Before an official Fedora release comes out, several alpha, beta and release candidate releases - known collectively as pre-releases - are made available. As part of the validation process for each pre-release, the QA group tests to see that various typical desktop functions meet pre-defined quality standards. You can find the requirements for each release in the Fedora_Release_Criteria.

Scope and Approach

Testing will include:

• Manually executed test cases using DVD, CDROM, rawhide boot or live image media

Timing of installation test events

Installation test events occur before milestone releases. Current events can be found at:
