The compose for which this page contains results is no longer the current one. This page contains the results for the current compose.
This page records Desktop validation testing test results for the Fedora 36 20220415.n.0 nightly compose.
Which tests to run
This page provides information about test coverage for the tests on this page across all the composes for the current release: it can help you see which test cases most need to be run.
Tests with a Milestone of Basic, Beta or Final are the most important. Optional tests are less so, but still useful to run. The milestone indicates that for that milestone release or a later one to be approved for release, the test must have been run against the release candidate build (so at Beta, all Basic and Beta tests must have been run, for instance). However, it is important to run the tests for all milestones as early and often as possible. Please refer to the test coverage page linked above and try to find and run tests which have not been run at all, or not run recently, for the current release.

2. Perform one or more of the test cases and add your results to the table below
- You can submit results by editing the page directly, or by using relval, with the
relval report-resultscommand. It provides a simple text interface for reporting test results.
3. If a test fails, file a bug report. You may propose the bug as a release blocker or freeze exception bug for the appropriate release - see blocker bug process and freeze exception bug process.
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.
If you notice a problem during a test which does not constitute a complete failure of the test, you should still file a bug report, but it may not be appropriate to propose it as a release blocker bug. Use your judgment in deciding this, with reference to the Fedora_Release_Criteria, which these tests are intended to verify. If you are unsure, err on the side of proposing the bug as a blocker.
Don't install updates before performing any of the tests, as when you are testing pre-releases, available updates are not part of the proposed released package set.
In most cases, testing in a virtual machine is OK. You can test UEFI (including SecureBoot) in VMs as well.
Results summary page
The Test Results:Fedora 36 Branched 20220415.n.0 Summary page contains the results from this page and all the other validation pages for the same compose listed together to provide an overview.
Add, Modify or Remove a Test Case
- Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to the test mailing list and/or the appropriate working group mailing list (e.g. server, cloud, or desktop).
- Once reviewed, make your changes to any current documents that use the template (e.g. Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test).
- Lastly, update Template:Desktop_test_matrix with the same changes.
Key
See the table below for a sample format for test results. All test results are posted using the result template.
| Test Result | Explanation | Code Entered |
|---|---|---|

| |
 robatino |
Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results | {{result|pass|robatino}}
|
| 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}}

Sugar (non-blocking, all arches)
The Sugar desktop differs significantly from a typical desktop, so it gets its own test cases. At present these live on the Sugar wiki.
