What to test?
For "Extended tuned"
- yum install tuned
- service tuned start
- cpu, disk and net devices should adapt to usage (monitor using strace e.g.)**
For "System tuning configuration and profiles"
- Run the new system tuning tool and list the different available profiles using:
- tuned-adm list
- Run the new system tuning tool and select one of the profiles. Restart the machine afterwards and make sure the profile is being used at startup
- tuned-adm modes laptop-battery-powersave
- tuned-adm modes default
- tuned-adm modes throughput-performance
For "New tool to measure improvements to system configuration changes or application changes"
- yum install tuned-utils
- run scomes
- change system settings
- run scomes again
- compare restults
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Phil Knirsch, Marcela Maslanova (marcela on irc), Petr Lautrbach, Jiri Skala (skalnik on irc)

Prerequisite for Test Day
- A system with a network connection
- Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below)
- The rpm file will be prepared to install all test cases included necessary dependencies. Before installation of this package you need to allow debuginfo for rawhide in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo
Download rpm and run:
* yum localinstall testday-pm-0.1-1.fc12.noarch.rpm
For scomes test you need to have the same version of kernel and kernel-debuginfo.
* uname -a * rpm -q kernel-debuginfo
- Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions
How to test?
Update your machine
See the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:
Test Cases
| TestCase | Description | Extra Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_tuned-adm | measuring tuned profiles with bltk | tuned-adm and bltk |
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_personal | Typical use of computer (Do whatever you are normally doing) | ? |
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_Tuned | Measuring differencies with and without tuned | ? |
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_init_1 | Some measures in lowest runlevel. FTP working, copying of files, bzipping archive | ? |
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_bltk | 3 workloads (Idle, OO, reader) measure power consumption of simulated reproducable load | OpenOffice is required during bltk installation, Firefox |
| QA:Testcase_Power_Management_scomes | measuring and collecting data with scomes tool | latest tuned-utils, kernel-debuginfo |
Test Results
Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. For example:
| User | Smolt Profile | Sample test 1 | Sample test 2 | Sample test 3 | Sample test 4 | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| User:FasUser | HW | PASS | PASS | FAIL [1] | PASS |
