Test Results:Fedora 21 Alpha TC5 Installation

No longer current
This candidate is no longer the current milestone. For the latest results, see Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test.

This page is intended to record installation validation testing test results for the Fedora 21 Alpha TC5 milestone.

Instructions

This page tracks test results against the Fedora 21 Alpha TC5 build. Test results against other Fedora 21 milestones can be found at Category:Fedora_21_Test_Results. The explanation of test case priority is available in the release validation test plan.

What To Test

• Download the required ISO images for the candidate build under test. Some tests must be run against particular Products or images - for example, the #Default boot and install tests. If no particular product or image is specified either in this page or the test case page, you can use any appropriate image. For example, you can run most of the #General Tests with the Workstation live image, or either of the Server install images.
• Delta_ISOs for install images are available here. If you have the Server offline install image for the previous TC/RC (or in the case of Alpha TC1, the previous stable release), you can generate the current install image with greatly reduced download size.

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, general discussion ...

• IRC: #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net
• Quality Assurance - User:Robatino, User:adamwill, User:wutao85, User:pschindl

Key

See the table below for a sample format for test results. All test results are posted using the format specified Template:Result.

Test Results Format
Test Result	Explanation	Code Entered
none	Untested - This test has not been run, and is available for anyone to contribute feedback.	{{result|none}}
pass robatino	Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results	{{result|pass|robatino}}
inprogress adamwill	Inprogress - An inprogress result is often used for tests that take a long time to execute. Inprogress results should be temporary and change to pass, fail or warn.	{{result|inprogress|adamwill}}
fail jlaska	Failed - Indicates a failed test. A link to a bug must be provided. See Template:Result for details on providing bug information.	{{result|fail|jlaska|XYZ|ZXY}}
warn rhe	Warning - This test completed and met the expected results of the test, but other issues were encountered during testing that warrant attention.	{{result|warn|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref>
pass hongqing warn kparal	Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case.	{{result|pass|hongqing}} {{result|warn|kparal}}
pass previous <build> run	Result from previous test run - This test result is directly moved from the test run of previous <build>.	{{result|pass|previous <build> run}}
	Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required.

Default boot and install

Bare metal testing required
Running these tests in a virtualized environment is valuable, but the test must pass on bare metal using a physical install medium for each release-blocking image in each test environment at least for the final release candidate image (i.e. the released image) for each milestone.

Single test table
In all of these tests, the test case used is QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install. That is where the links point. The same test needs to be run for multiple images and target platforms. Note that the non-installer-based ARM disk images are covered by the later #ARM disk images section.
