Welcome to Fedora QA, I have sponsored you by now.
You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 31, Fedora 32, and rawhide. 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 33 Rawhide 20200623.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:

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

Hi!
I'm currently awaiting answers to my applications for university, if all goes well I'll be studying systems development this coming fall, and wanted to occupy myself with something so I figured I'd finally contribute to something open source. I've messed around a bit with Linux and OSS in the past but never got around to contributing, but now I'm eager to start. I've mostly used Debian but now I'm on Fedora and liking it. I have intermediate experience in programming, mostly python and C# but also some C and C++.
QA seemed like the funniest point of contribution but I would love to know where I should get started since I haven't involved myself in anything similar before.
I hope to learn a lot from this and I'm eager to start testing. :)
Best wishes,
Carl Emil
