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.

How to test?
Install Fedora
Testing DNF from a live environment is difficult and will likely wind up with the system exhausting available RAM and failing in strange ways, so we recommend you install Fedora 38 for this Test Week, or run a Fedora 38 container using Docker or Podman.
Update your machine
Make sure you have all the current updates installed, using the update manager. Note that a clean installed Fedora 38 system will have DNF 4.16, while after update from updates-testing (which is enabled by default), you should have DNF 5 from just execute sudo dnf install dnf5 dnf5-plugins. We are interested in tests on the latest upstream build of DNF 5. If you find an issue with the version in the Fedora repositories, it would be very useful to check if it also happens with the latest upstream build, which can be installed using this COPR repository .
Run the tests
Visit the result page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.
Reporting bugs
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component dnf5. 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.
