= Physical media testing =

Fedora QA is currently waiting for an Alpha Test Compose to exercise a
full installation test run [1].  However, testing prior to the compose
has unearthed several 'test blocker' bugs.  As the name suggests, these
are issues that prevent further testing, notably they are blocking all
(or a majority of) tests in the installation test matrix [2].  The
current list of open 'test blocker' issues includes:

      * 514501 - MODIFIED - dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
        org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice?: No device with
        id /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0
      * 511907 - MODIFIED - parted.Disk.duplicate exception in storage
        scan
      * 510033 - MODIFIED - AttributeError?: 'NoneType?' object has no
        attribute 'name'
      * 514718 - MODIFIED - install exited abnormally - AttributeError?:
        'NoneType?' object has no attribute 'has_key'

There is additional work underway to address installer integration with
a recent NetworkManager version.  A ticket has been filed [3] for anyone
interested in monitoring the status of the Alpha test compose milestone.

= Rawhide testing =

Because rawhide testing never stops, there are several Alpha blocker bug
events [4] to help identify high-impact defects that would put the Alpha
in jeopardy.  The next blocker bug event is scheduled for this Friday @
15:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers.

Any defects discovered while testing rawhide that should be addressed in
the Alpha should block the tracker bug#F12Alpha.  Please keep in mind
the following criteria when escalating an issue:

      * Can this issue be fixed with a future rawhide update or is it
        part of the media kit?
      * Is this defect a high (or greater) severity [5] with no, or an
        unreasonable, workaround?
      * Does the presence of this bug dramatically reduce test coverage?

Thanks,
James
