Hey Arna! 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 31, Fedora 32, and Fedora 33. 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 20200811.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 For Automation, you can start looking at Open QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA] its maintained by Adamw.

I have been using Linux for my primary development machine for about 7 years now and have some experience in building kernels from source and installing them. Moreover i spend quite some time tinkering with linux, so i thought the joining the QA team could help me develop my troubleshooting skills and also give back to the community at the same time. > > I am looking forward to joining the fedora community. > _______________________________________________ > test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
