Hey Rick!
Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group. If you have, I have sponsored you by now. If you haven't then please apply and send me an email with your FAS ID and I will approve.
You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 29, Fedora 30, and Fedora 31. 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 compose (Fedora 32 Rawhide 20191109.n.1), 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_Base_Test

For Automation, you can start looking at Open QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA] its maintained by Adamw.

Hi Folks,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Rick van der Zwet, 34 years old and
living Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands. I started working with Linux and
*BSD when I was 15 years old and have since then been involved in making
beautiful solution based on Linux and *BSD, mostly focused around
embedded system development. I studied and finished Computer Science
(MSc) at Leiden University.
I have been using Fedora as desktop flavour for the last few years and
noticed some packages I use a lot are slowly updated, due various
reasons. Hence I would like to step up in testing them and/or provide
update patches to maintainers if required.
No fancy nickname/handle, just find me at:
IRC : rickvanderzwet @ freenode
Skype: rickvanderzwet
FAS : rickvanderzwet
Kind regards,
Rick
