Hey, folks. So one of my action items coming out of FUDCon was to try and work with you to provide a validation testing framework for Fedora ARM releases, just like we have for the primary arch releases. We (QA team) can't necessarily commit to performing a full set of tests for ARM releases, but we can certainly do a best effort, and we can provide the test cases, release criteria, and validation test pages like we do for primary arch releases, which will provide a structure for testing. So, I've opened a trac ticket for this: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/277 and highlighted a few issues there. Broadly what we need to know is _what are the things that are most important to a Fedora ARM release_: clearly it's different from an x86 release, where our validation centers around anaconda and the desktop. So what are the central things that really have to work for a Fedora ARM release? Will it be a case of ensuring images are present and bootable for a specific set of 'supported devices', for instance? What core bits of distro functionality should be tested? Once we have that information we can work towards creating some test cases and a validation matrix for ARM releases. Thanks! In case anyone's confused, I'm talking about stuff like: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Alpha_Release_Criteria https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Beta_Release_Criteria https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Final_Release_Criteria https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test but for ARM. I think a few of the Installation and Base tests may be relevant for ARM as well, but many may well not. The desktop tests are theoretically applicable but, as I said, I think not necessarily really what we need to be testing for ARM. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
