Hey folks!

So we have a set of release validation tests for Fedora Server. Per the release process, these tests have to be run for each milestone release to be approved. Up till now, sgallagh has been doing a lot of this testing, and I've been doing a little. sgallagh is going to have very limited time for it going forward, and I don't think I'm going to be able to take over all the load, so it'd be great if people could step up to help out.

You can always find the 'current' Server release validation page at this address:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test

There are image download links at the top of the page.

Every few days a new compose will become the 'current' one, and ideally we should do as much testing as we can for each compose. But we absolutely *need* to do the testing when we build a 'candidate' compose that may be ready for release; I'll make sure to mail the list when that happens.

The firewall tests are automated by openQA so they're low priority for manual testing, but unfortunately we haven't managed to automate the other tests yet, I've been working on that for a while but it's been slow going :/ The trickiest ones to do are the Active Directory ones, I am not in fact set up to do those as I have no AD domain. The FreeIPA tests are next hardest.

Tests marked 'Alpha' and 'Beta' must be done for Fedora 24 Beta to go out. Tests marked 'Final' don't *have* to be run at Beta, but it's good if we can.

So I know everyone's busy, but if everyone could spare an hour or two a week to hit up the Current page and run some tests on whatever compose is 'current' at the time, that'd be great. You can enter your results by editing the wiki directly, or if that's not your idea of fun, you can use my 'relval' tool, which provides a fairly simple CLI for reporting results. Just run 'dnf install relval' then 'relval report- results' and it will walk you through the process. relval writes the results into the wiki page for you, so after submitting your results you can refresh the page and see them show up.

Thanks everyone!
