Introduction

With the advent of different Fedora Products for Fedora 21 there is a need for a specific test plan for each product. Historically, Release Validation and all Testing of Fedora releases was handled by QA - but now testing and release validation will be largely handled by the specific Working Group.

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 Cloud product releases

Test Strategy

Testing and Release Validation for the Cloud product will follow the same pattern Fedora 20 followed. There will be three milestones - each milestone will have a related set of Release Criteria and Validation Matrix for the release.

Milestones

  • Alpha
  • Beta
  • Final

Schedule/Milestones

Test Priority

This test plan prioritizes tests according to the major release milestones for Fedora 21, including the Alpha, Beta and Final release milestones. All test cases are intended for execution at every milestone. However, priority should be given to tests specific to the milestone under test.

Alpha test cases Beta test cases Final test cases
Alpha (formerly tier#1) priority tests are intended to verify that booting the image is possible on common cloud providers (EC2, Openshift). These tests also attempt to validate Alpha Release Requirements. Beta (formerly tier#2) priority tests take a step further to include additional use cases. These tests also attempt to validate Beta Release Requirements. Final (formerly tier#3) priority tests capture all remaining use cases and functionality checks. These tests also attempt to validate Final Release Requirements.
Verification consists of: Verification consists of: Verification consists of:

Test Pass/Fail Criteria

The milestone release of Fedora 17 should conform these criteria:

Entrance criteria

  • Trees must be generated using release engineering tools (not hand crafted)
  • There must be no unresolved dependencies for packages included in the installation tree
  • There must be no dependency conflicts for packages included in the installation tree
  • Any changes in composition of the installation tree are explainable by way of bugzilla

Milestone specific criteria

Scope and Approach

For the cloud image, the following areas will be tested:

  • Boot process
  • Initialization
  • Post-Boot actions
  • Virtualization

In addition to those aspects of the image being tested, any bugs marked as a blocker for the current milestone must be addressed and tested.

Testing will include:

Test Deliverables

  • This test plan
  • Test summary documents for each major milestone of F16: Category:Fedora_17_Test_Results
  • A list of defects filed
  • Any test scripts used for automation or verification

Testing Tasks

Testing will execute test cases to verify installation of Fedora 17 on different hardware platforms and gather installation test feedback.

Test Environment/Configs

For Fedora 17, test cases will be executed on the primary supported hardware platforms. This includes:

  • i386
  • x86_64

Responsibilities

Fedora QA team members are responsible for executing this test plan. Contributions from Branched testers and other interested parties are encouraged.

Risks and Contingencies

If new physical media are provided for an already inprogress test run, a new test run must be initiated. Test results from the previous run may be carried forward to the new test run if they are not affected by the changes introduced by the new physical media.

Reporting Bugs and Debugging Problems

If defects/problems are encountered, please go ahead and file the bugs following the guide below:
