Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group. Thanks Adamw for sponsoring!
You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 29, Fedora 30 and Rawhide. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz “pending” & “testing”. You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also, use fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks. You can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you need to do is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, let’s take the latest compose (Fedora 31 Rawhide 20190601.n.0), you can run test cases which are mentioned [2] and submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[3] will have “How to test” section which will have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the expected results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page {{result|PASS|<fas_username>}}. Always make sure to check for “Associated release criterion” which can be found on the top of test case page, if your test case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page {{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}} and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora.
You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:

For Automation, you can start looking at Open QA[ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA] its maintained by Adamw.

Hello Everyone,
I am Afras Ashraf, I am a python programmer, a linux system administrator, and an Open Source enthusiast and Fedora is a distro which I have been in love with for 3 years now.
As part of my Open Source venture, I wanna help out with the Fedora Project. So as I went on through whatcanidoforfedora.org , I bookmarked links to all the places I could contribute to, and QA and Testing was one of those links.
I hope to be of use to the community, and help out with testing, instruction, writing, and coding.
Thank You, Afras _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
