If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.
What to test?
Since June 8, 2011 is the World IPv6 Day, today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on IPv6 testing.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion...
Prerequisite for Test Day
- An up-to-date Fedora 15 system with IPv6 enabled
- An internet connection via an ISP who supports IPv6 and an IPv6 address from that ISP, or an IPv6 tunnel broker (refer to #Prepare an IPv6 connection)
How to test?
Update your machine
If you're running Fedora 15, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager.
Live image
Optionally, you may download a non-destructive live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD. Live images can be downloaded here.
Prepare an IPv6 connection
Check if your ISP offers native IPv6 connectivity. If so, follow the instructions provided by your ISP.
Otherwise, you will need to setup a tunnel broker following one of the suggestions below.
Test Cases
The following list of tests are simply suggested test areas. Participants are encouraged to test and provide feedback for areas not listed below.
- Exploratory Testing...
- ifconfig your interface to make sure your IPv6 address are setup correctly.
- ping various external ipv6 websites such as
ipv6.google.comto see if you can download the web content through your ipv6 connection
- Run http://test-ipv6.com
- QA:Testcase_NetworkManager_ipv6 - To test IPv6 on Network Manager, please see following link for instruction:
- QA:Testcase_NFS_IPv6 - To test IPv6 on NFS filesystem, please see following link for instruction:
- QA:Testcase_IPv6_printing - 1. setup the system using ipv6 address, 2. setup printer's ipv6 address via printer instructions, 3. setup the printer queue as if the the printer uses ipv6 address.
- QA:Testcase_various_IPv6_commands - Test various command-line IPv6 utilities
Test Results
If you have problems with any of the tests, try and report a bug. Most bugs in this event should be reported to Fedora Bugzilla. You will need a bugzilla account to report bugs, but creating one is easy, and we will help you do this if you ask in IRC.
If you are not sure of the appropriate component, please check in IRC before filing, there are many possibilities. 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.
Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the appropriate table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The results use the wiki template {{result}}. For guidance an syntax, refer to Template:Result.
