Test Results:Fedora 21 Nightly 2014 08 Installation

This page is intended to record installation validation test results for Fedora 21 nightly builds in the month of August 2014.

Not mandatory testing
This testing is not in any way mandatory, but rather precautionary / exploratory. No Fedora release depends on this testing being performed. Due to the longer Fedora 21 release cycle, we think it is a good idea to keep an eye on the status of the release before we reach the first Alpha TC, however no-one should feel obliged in any way to participate in this testing, and certainly not to work excessively long, late or hard on it.

Instructions

This page tracks test results against August 2014 nightly Rawhide builds. Test results against other Fedora 21 milestones and builds can be found at Category:Fedora_21_Test_Results.

What To Test

• Tests requiring physical media (e.g. DVD or CD images) -- download the required Fedora 21 nightly live image, x86_64 or i386 network install image, or ARM or Cloud disk image. If you use the network install image, enter the date on which you downloaded it as the 'build date' in your results (see #Key.)

Note that if generation of the boot.iso images fails for a given day, the file will not be present on the mirrors (the last successful compose is not retained). In this case, you just have to wait for a successful compose, or use one of the other images/methods described on this page. If the live image compose failed, you can find older composes through the Koji web interface, though you may have to click through several pages of results. Ensure you get a Fedora 21 image, not Rawhide.

Add or Remove a Test Case

1. Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to test list.
2. Once reviewed, make your changes to this document
3. Finally, update QA:Fedora_21_Install_Results_Template with the same changes.

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 20140715	Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|pass|robatino}} 20140715
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 20140715	Failed - Indicates a failed test. A link to a bug must be provided. See Template:Result for details on providing bug information. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|fail|jlaska|XYZ|ZXY}} 20140715
warn rhe 20140415	Warning - This test completed and met the expected results of the test, but other issues were encountered during testing that warrant attention. The date of the build tested (not the date the test was run) should be included.	{{result|warn|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref> 20140715
pass hongqing 20140715 warn kparal 20140718	Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case.	{{result|pass|hongqing}} 20140715 {{result|warn|kparal}} 20140718
	Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required.
