What to test?

This week's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:

Preparing for Test Day

Depending on the speed of your connection and the time available for testing, there are several methods available for

Live Images

  1. Please download a live ISO image for your architecture:
  2. Prepare your live image by following the instructions at FedoraLiveCD
  3. Or run the dowloaded ISO image in qemu: 
     su -c 'qemu -cdrom Fedora-11-Alpha-i686-Live.iso -m 512 -std-vga'

Install Media

  1. Consult the installation guide for quick start information to determine the best install method for your needs.
  2. Follow instructions for installing your system.
    • Alternatively, on an already installed system:
      1. Install snake: 
        yum install snake
      2. Configure your system for installation: 
        snake-install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/11-Alpha/Fedora/i386/os

Installation Test Plan

In the table below, duplicate the italicized example rows as needed and replace the user and pass or fail with your own user name and results.

User Description How to Test Expected Results Results

Assign ext4 fs with mount point


  1. Prepare system with ext4 filesystem(s).
  2. Boot the installer.
  3. Select the ext4 filesystem as a mount point except of /boot, preferably some 'data' filesystem.
  4. Ensure installation is finished successfully.
  1. ext4 filesystems are recognized.
  2. Mount point can be assigned to ext4 filesystem.
  3. Installation completes successfully.
  4. System starts properly with all filesystems mounted.
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

Create new ext4 partition (non-root fs)


  1. Boot the installer
  2. Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen
  3. Create a new (or use existing) partition
  4. Assign a non-rootfs mount point to the partition, choosing ext4 fs type
  5. Complete installation
  6. Reboot into post-install system
  1. installation completes successfully
  2. post-installation system boots
  3. ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

Create new ext4 partition (root fs)


  1. Boot the installer
  2. Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen
  3. Create a new (or use existing) ext3 partition for /boot
  4. Create a new (or use existing) partition
  5. Assign a rootfs mount point to the partition, choosing ext4 fs type
  6. Complete installation
  7. Reboot into post-install system
  1. installation completes successfully
  2. post-installation system boots
  3. ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

Identify ext4 filesystems


  1. Prepare system with ext4 filesystem(s).
  2. Boot the installer.
  3. Use "Create custom layout" for partitioning and keep existing partitions.
  4. Ensure ext4 filesystems are recognized and included in list of filesystems.
  1. Anaconda starts successfully.
  2. ext4 filesystems are detected and listed in partition layout of Disk druid screen.
  3. Disk druid allows basic manipulation with ext4 filesystems.
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

ext4 fs on LVM LV


  1. Boot the installer
  2. Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen
  3. Create a new (or use existing) LVM PVs
  4. Create an LVM LV using the PVs
  5. Assign a non-/boot mount point to the LVM LV, choosing ext4 fs type
  6. Complete installation
  7. Reboot into post-install system
  1. installation completes successfully
  2. post-installation system boots
  3. ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted using LVM LV device.
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

ext4 native (non-LVM)


  1. Boot the installer
  2. Advance to the (ddruid) partitioning screen
  3. Create a new non-LVM ext4 partition and assign to / mount point
  4. complete installation
  1. installation completes successfully
  2. post-installation system boots
  3. ext4 filesystem is correctly identified and mounted

  4. complete installation
  5. reboot into post-install system using rescue mode
  1. installation completes successfully
  2. installation enters rescue mode
  3. rescue mode detects and mounts ext4 partition successfully
  4. user can interact with ext4 filesystem (read, write & edit files)
user * * * pass
user * * * fail

Exploratory Test Plan

If you perform an EXT4 installation test not in the list above (and feel free to) please enter the information here. We will incorporate selected tests in future test plans.

User Description How to Test Expected Results Results Notes
who am I summary what I did what should happen what did happen (pass/fail) notes or observations
cww PXE boot/setup ext4 in LVM and native partitions Start install via PXE, setup / as ext4 via LVM and /export as ext4 via a native partition Install should complete successfully Install completed successfully, PXE worked just fine. Both / and /export mounted post install and can been accessed via rescue mode Tested on i386


DRAFT

Perhaps we should script all the changes and let the tester just run the script 

su -c 'chmod +x /home/<user>/Download/Bootchart-test.sh && /home/<user>/Download/Bootchart-test.sh

Draft Continue

Have to hear from Harald how he wants it should be something like this..

Use a live cd or make a default all install.

Open a terminal window and run: 

su -c 'yum -y install bootchart'

Open /sbin/bootchartd with your favourite text editor and change line 121

From 

local exit_proc="gdmgreeter gdm-binary kdm-greet kdm ldm"

To 

local exit_proc="firefox"

Or open up a terminal window and run 

su -c 'sed 's/gdmgreeter\ gdm-binary\ kdm-greet\ kdm\ ldm/firefox/g' File > File

Open /etc/bootchartd.conf with your favourite text editor and change line 13

From 

SAMPLE_PERIOD=0.2

To 

SAMPLE_PERIOD=20

Or open up a terminal window and run 

su -c 'sed 's/0.2/20/g' File > File

Auto logon?

Perhaps Harald wants the user auto logon and auto start firefox ??


Bootcharts

  1. TODO

We need to figure out were we want the tester to upload the bootchart.. We need to coordinate with the kernel guy's and rel-eng to provide the kernel with debug turned off and rel-eng to build a testable test images for that test day..

Please record information about you and your bootup time in the table below.
