Hi, folks. So at last week's QA and Server meetings, I assigned myself to come up with what I then referred to as a 'test plan' for the Server product (and a couple of other folks to do it for Workstation and Cloud). I've written it now, but it occurred to me that what we really wanted (and what I actually wrote, which I *hope* are the same thing :>) wasn't really strictly speaking a test plan, but what I've decided to refer to as a 'test outline'. Here it is, in rough form: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_Server_test_outline I think this is more a planning document than it'll ever be a working one; what I expect we'll end up with is some more test cases and test matrices, and maybe a formal test plan of the kind we kinda gave up writing for old-Fedora when it became more busywork than anything productive. But I think this is a necessary step on the road to reaching that point. What I've tried to do is look at the documents that define what the Server product will be - the Product Requirements Document and the Technical Specification - and derive from those what are the key areas that will require test coverage, both specific to Server and not specific to it. I'm hoping that if we can have similar 'outlines' covering Workstation and Cloud, we will be able to see the shape of just how much testing F21 will require overall (at least in an ideal world) and then we can start to draw up a plan for actually doing that testing, and how we structure that work (whether it's under the auspices of QA or the working groups or some combination of the two or some entirely new structure we want to come up with). Hope this is useful! Please do yell if you want to query any of the specific points in my draft, or the overall approach I'm suggesting here, or well anything at all, really, this is all new to all of us :) Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
