Hello,

I'm a big fan of Fedora and want to contribute somehow to the Fedora QA. I currently study electrical engineering at the Brno University of Technogy in Brno, Czech republic and I'm also interested in computers generaly. I mean just to imagine the "flying" electrons inside the silicon of the ICs or just to bring my thoughts to the "other side" and think about anything relating to UNIX-like operating systems and it's applications. I also enjoy learning new things about how the things work on the Linux, and for this reason I thought it would be interesting to see and be part of the team which manages the testing in order to find out what is not working properly. :-)

Also currently I am an intern at the Red Hat's Brno office. I do have experience with using and administrating Fedora and also RHEL, RHEV.... In the field of programming I do have experience with C language, Python, markup languages and not so markup language as YAML, also I do shell scripting in BASH and sometimes I trying to be POSIX compliant with it. :-)

I am available also on: ICQ: 405778592 IRC ptoth(at) irc.freenode.net e-mail: xtothp00(at) stud.feec.vutbr.cz -- alternative

I am looking forward to work with you! Kind regards,

Hey Peter!

Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group. If you have, I have sponsored you by now.

I think you already had a word with Adamw but here's something more you can look into, if you are looking to contribute to Fedora QA. :)

You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 27, Fedora 28, and Fedora 29. 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 29 Branched 20180923), 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:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test

For Automation, you can start looking at Taskotron[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron] and Open QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA].

Feel free to ping us on IRC if you need any help #fedora-qa@freenode.

We have test days coming happening now which is a nice place to start, please stay tuned to the @test list and help us testing! The current test day can be found on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:Current?redirect=yes Test days schedule can be found on the fedocal https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/list/QA/?subject=Test+Day
