== Previous meeting follow-up ==

* [jlaska] - update [[QA/Goals]] wiki document
I don't have big updates here, other than I finally dusted off my
fingers and am getting started.  I should have draft content soon.  One
of the pre-reqs for me was pulling together the test day feedback ... so
having that done helps me now
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-July/msg00009.html).

* [viking_ice] - check-in with abrt 

Viking_ice had to step away briefly.  Looked into the abrt project over
the week.  Filed a RFE with several mock-ups designed to improve the
bugzilla integration (see
https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/attachment/ticket/53/Automatic%20Bug%
20Reporting%20Tool%20Mockup1.png and
https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/attachment/ticket/53/ABRT_simple_bug_filing_form.png)

* [wwoods] - add post-install network test to basic functionality in
rawhide acceptance plan

I added two cases to the plan, post-install network and post-install
input.  For additional information, please see

== Fedora 12 ''Fit n Finish'' Test Days == 

Announcement:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-June/msg00741.html

mclasen briefed the team on the upcoming desktop-focused
[[Fit_and_Finish]] test days.  Traditional fedora test days focus on
exercising upcoming features of the release. The goal of Fit'n'finish is
to do a series of user-task focused test days, that are delivered with
in the same manner as traditional Fedora test days.  The first event
will be this Tuesday (July 07, 2009) with a focus on
[[Fit_and_Finish/Display_Configuration]].

Southern_Gentleman asked if rawhide would be used for generating the
live images?  Mclasen indicated the plan is to use rawhide, but I don't
think it is essential for user-task testing that everyone runs the same.

Viking_ice indicated that there aren't clear instructions on what to
include in bug reports filed.  Mclasen indicated he would add some
clarity here after responding to the mail thread.  Jlaska recommended
linking to [[Category:Debugging]] and that the QA team could help fill
information gaps.

== AutoQA - update from wwoods ==

https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa

The [[QA:Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_Plan]] is complete.  7 out of 12 test
cases created from the [[QA:Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_Plan]].  

The plan for next week:
* have the test cases all finished 
* at least one automated

jlaska asked if there were any good candidates for tests that could be
rapidly developed ... something off-the-shelf.  Wwoods indicated there
are a few good candidates, including: 
* the repodata/comps validity stuff
* installer image existence

Wwoods indicated the need for reporting manual test results.  Jlaska
asked if this was intended as a generic test result reporting mechanism?
Wwoods outlined he is trying to solve a specific problem of reporting
test results for rawhide acceptance tests not yet automated, not rewrite
a formal test case management system from scratch.

== Install Testing SOP draft - update from lili ==

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-June/msg00734.html

Hopefully Liam is sleeping right now (being 12:44am for him) ... but
wanted to give a quick update on an SOP he posted for review.  Liam is
trying to documenting the tasks involved when planning+preparing and
executing a collaborative installation test event.

A few folks have chymed in already and helped clean up the wiki, so
thanks to arxs and beland!  While this largely affects the folks who
have been testing RC's, feedback from a wider audience is encouraged ...
as that's the audience we're hoping benefits from added transparency

== Improve Bug Reporting proposal - update from viking_ice ==

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Johannbg/QA/Improve_reporting

Viking_ice discussed several explorations with the abrt tool and
discussed several ideas on improving the user-interface.  This included
several mock-ups posted to the abrt trac instance
(https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/attachment/ticket/53/Automatic%20Bug%
20Reporting%20Tool%20Mockup1.png and
https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/attachment/ticket/53/ABRT_simple_bug_filing_form.png).  

Viking_ice suggested that abrt could be better if it were very similar
to the simplified bugzilla reporting UI.  This may reduce the learning
curve

Mclasen suggested that several iterations would be needed to clean up
the UI, and that assistance from the design team would certainly help.

Viking_ice also pointed to other efforts that improved the UI of
setroubleshoot (see [[Design/SETroubleshootUsabilityImprovements]]).
Specifically, the screenshots of the ''Report Bug'' screen.
