I'm used to the OS being stable while testing the storage system, so rawhide will be a bit of an adjustment. Almost all of the work I was doing was on an internal test automation framework but the testing I did do was mostly on FC storage and some iSCSI. That testing was done at a system level which used mostly customer-available tools and triage methods. We were generally using internal or proprietary, device-specific tools but most of the tests went something like: - start load - run test - check for errors (data corruption, path/device issues, etc.) - gather debug data, if needed The areas that I have at least some experience in are: - FibreChannel switches (mostly newer Brocade and Cisco) - DeviceMapper - iSCSI - Storage system load generation (Hazard, Medusa) - Java (mostly java6) - Maven2 - Java frameworks (Wicket, EasyMock, TestNG, Hibernate, Enunciate) - Web Services (in Java, mostly RESTful, some SOAP consumer) - Kickstart - Basic RPM dev Other than iSCSI, Kickstart and RPM, I'm not sure how useful any of that would be to the Fedora community but I might be missing something. I'd be willing to entertain any ideas you had, though. Tim -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
