Test Days
No Test Day took place last week due to the delay of the FreeIPA Test Day. This week two Test Days are taking place.
Tuesday 2011-02-15 was FreeIPA v2[1] Test Day[2]. IPA is an identity server, and 2.0 is a major revision due to land in Fedora 15. The Test Day focused on checking that all the major changes work as intended. A small group of testers attended the event and exposed several issues, which the developers are now working on.
Thursday 2011-02-17 is Xfce 4.8[3] Test Day[4], where we are testing out all the new features of this major Xfce release and ensuring there are no regressions. A full report on the event will be printed next week.
AutoQA
Kamil Paral reported that he had conducted an AutoQA workshop at the Developer Conference event[1] in Brno[2]. He also published the sample workshop material[3].
Test Day SOP improvements
Adam Williamson proposed an update[1] to the Test Day management SOP[2], adding a paragraph recommending the creation of a 'how to debug' page for the component being tested. This was the result of a suggestion at the previous weekly meeting by Jóhann Guðmundsson.
Fedora 15 Alpha preparation
Preparation for the release of Fedora 15 Alpha began in earnest this week. The first test compose was released[1] and the first blocker review meeting took place[2]. TC1 testing identified some major issues in both installation[3] and desktop[4] areas.
