To get started you need a FAS account and your FAS should be sponsored. You can create your FAS account (assuming you don't have one) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/. You will require a membership to Fedora QA group to proceed and you can get apply for 'qa' in here [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/] You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 24 and Fedora 25 . Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" & "testing" . You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also, use fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks. you can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you need to do is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, let's take the latest branched (Fedora 26 Branched 20170307.n.0), you can run test cases which are mentioned [2] and submit your results in the test matrix. Note that each of the test cases[3] will have "How to test" section which will have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the expected results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page {{result|PASS|<fas_username>}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page , if your test case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page {{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}} and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora. You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses: 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 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test [1]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing [2]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_26_Branched_20170307.n.0_Summary?rd=Test_Results:Current_Summary [3]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_USB_stick_Live_luc [4]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ Thanks Sumantrom _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
