How to test?

Update your machine

If you test with an installed system, make sure you have all the current updates installed, using the update manager.

Live image

Instead of testing on an installed system, you may download a Fedora 32 nightly Workstation live image or Fedora 32 Silverblue image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD. The latest live image links can be found here: please make sure to get a Fedora 32 nightly, not Rawhide.

Run the tests

Visit the result page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Reporting bugs

Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions.

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla for the appropriate component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

Test Results

Please follow the nomenclature of adding profile information for your testing while submitting test result

1) which variant? WS or SB?

2) bare metal or VM?

3) which language used?

4) which arch used?

e.g. a complete user profile should be "SB, KVM, ja_JP, x86_64"
