[Fedora QA] #261: Revise upgrade test case set

#261: Revise upgrade test case set -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 17 Component: Proventester Mentor Request | Version: Keywords: | -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Our present upgrade test cases are probably a sub-optimal set. We exercise various rarely-used choices - bootloader action, and text upgrade path - but don't exercise more common variations, like installed package sets, install media, and disk layouts. While we can't commit to supporting absolutely any upgrade, we should cover at least some _more_ cases in order to catch major fails. Based on the experience in F16 and the recommendations in the retrospective, I'd suggest we could consider dropping or downgrading the importance of some tests, perhaps: * QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader * QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader_Text_Mode * QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader_Text_Mode and add test cases for all or some of the following scenarios (please add any other suggestions as comments): * upgrade from image written to USB stick (livecd-iso-to-disk) * upgrade with KDE (and possibly Xfce and LXDE as 'optional' test cases) * upgrade an EFI install (see also https://fedorahosted.org/fedora- qa/ticket/256 for organizational issues here) * upgrade with bootloader on first partition (not MBR) * upgrade with separate /usr , /home and /var partitions * upgrade a RAID install This should be completed ideally by Fedora 17 Alpha phase, and definitely by Beta phase (when upgrade issues become blockers). -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/261> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#221: Reduce Blocker Bug Review Meeting Length -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: tflink | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 16 Component: Trac | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- == Description == While the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting blocker bug review meetings] are very much a necessary thing, they have a tendency to be long, tedious and not a whole lot of fun for those involved. During the Fedora 15 retrospective, there was a request to streamline the process in order to distribute the workload and avoid more 4+ hour meetings. Any proposals on how to reduce the length of the meetings while maintaining their utility would be much appreciated. == Proposals == Pending discussion in comments and email -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/221> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#152: Test Cases Management ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 15 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem = We've been using mediawiki to manage tests and record results, though it's easy to approach, it has limitations such as managing, tracking and querying cases+results. So is it time for us to consider another solution such as TCMS? = analysis = Here I quoted the suggestion from Victer Chen: some advantages of TCMS: * Better to record, track and query test results, * Allow user focus on test contents instead of document maintenance. * Share test cases However, it couldn't be flexible as wiki. I think the most important things need balance are below: - Barriers Fedora should provide very low barriers. TCMS could be configured to allow anonymous user login and limit it's permission. Also, we can consider using fedora account to login TCMS. - Safety Wiki provides the ability to rollback content easily, while TCMS couldn't. What TCMS can do is recording all the history and allow user recovery it manually. But if we configure the permission well, it should not be a big problem. = enhancement recommendation = Work with TCMS team and package it to Fedora. Set up the system and use it in a small scale first. If it turns out good, enlarger the scale. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/152> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#81: Add i18n release criteria ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem = See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=571900 RHBZ#571900 - Keyboard mapping not correct (USA instead of Belgium) when first login after install Fedora 13 Alpha] = analysis = * Currently we don't have i18n installation cases, so local language install is not tested as a demand. Untranslated pages are still existing after RC test. Such cases needed be added in test as well as release criteria. * Does the Fedora i18n team have any release criteria to propose? * RHBZ #571900 pointed out the need for a better understanding of how the language and keymap installer selections impact the installed system. = enhancement recommendation = Recommend reviewing the release criteria to ensure expectations are captured around propagating language and keymap settings from install to desktop login (/etc/sysconfig/i18n, image:Package-x-generic-16.pnggdm etc...). It may also be advised to coordinate with the installer team so that bugs can be filed for any missing functionality. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/81> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#61: make VirtioSerial Test cases clearer ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: liam | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Test Day | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- we have VirtioSerial Test cases here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_VirtioSer… but during test day, none of these cases was executed. I think testers did not know how to run these cases, so Amit, could you like to rewrite these cases with template and make it clearer? The good cases can help make VirtioSerial better and better,it also can involve more fedora people in virtio.Thanks in advance. These cases that are written with template for your reference: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_13_Install_Results_Template#Test_M… Or if you don't know how to use template, just write the test step more specific and send the cases to me, I will convert them to standard format. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/61> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

Some F21 Alpha impressions
by Jonathan Corbet 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

So, feeling like life has kind of sucked recently, I've been compensating by buying toys. One of those is a shiny new Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop. The first thing I installed on it was the F21 Workstation alpha; here's a few impressions... - The main thing is that resume does not work in F21. Things appear to suspend just fine, but there is no response to pressing the blinking power button. I simply have to hold it until it powers down hard and start over. Interesting data points: It works fine with an F20 install, even with the original 3.11 kernel. But it doesn't work on F21, even booting the F20 kernel. So I don't think it's a kernel thing; something has changed on the user-space side to screw up the wakeup event somehow. I'd like to go chasing after it but time is tight; this particular issue has forced me to go with F20 for now. - Emacs is *totally* confused about its window size. Any new window comes up essentially full screen, but the sizes it shows when one resizes indicates that it thinks its window is quite small - even though text display works just fine. F20 shows this too, it's not an F21 specific thing. - The huge onscreen keyboard seems to be easy to provoke and hard to make go away; this does seem to be new with F21. Is there any way to just turn that off? I like my touchscreen, but it's permanently attached to a physical keyboard a few cm away; I will *never* want the onscreen one. - Whatever happened to the ability to associate actions with mouse button events? That seems to be gone in F20 too? Is that another one of those things we're not supposed to worry our pretty little heads about anymore? Despite that final whine, it mostly looks pretty good. It's only the resume issue that's a total show-stopper for now. Thanks, as always, for all the great work. jon

Adding GNOME ....
by Ed Greshko 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

After doing a KDE install from the Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21_Beta ISO I wanted to add GNOME to the mix. In the past, even on B-TC4 I believe, I simply did "yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"". However, now that choice no longer exists when doing "yum grouplist". There is a "Fedora Workstation" but that can't be installed due to.... -> Processing Conflict: fedora-release-nonproduct-21-0.16.noarch conflicts fedora-release-workstation --> Processing Conflict: fedora-release-nonproduct-21-0.16.noarch conflicts fedora-release-workstation --> Processing Conflict: firewalld-config-standard-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts firewalld-config-workstation --> Processing Conflict: firewalld-config-standard-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts system-release-workstation --> Processing Conflict: firewalld-config-standard-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts system-release-workstation --> Processing Conflict: fedora-release-workstation-21-0.16.noarch conflicts fedora-release-nonproduct --> Processing Conflict: firewalld-config-workstation-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts firewalld-config-standard --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: fedora-release-nonproduct conflicts with fedora-release-workstation-21-0.16.noarch Error: firewalld-config-standard conflicts with fedora-release-workstation-21-0.16.noarch Error: firewalld-config-workstation conflicts with firewalld-config-standard-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch Error: fedora-release-workstation conflicts with fedora-release-nonproduct-21-0.16.noarch Error: firewalld-config-standard conflicts with firewalld-config-workstation-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch How to install the GNOME desktop alongside KDE? -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
