Hi Everyone,

My name is Ryan Himmelwright and often go by himmAllRight on the internet and IRC. Outside the web, I've spent the last few years in the greater Boston area, but have recently moved to Durham NC (both USA).

I have been lurking around the various Fedora groups over the last few years, but have never fully taken the  plunge into a project. I am interested in becoming more involved with the QA group, in particular to help develop some of the testing tools (in addition to some package testing).

I am a Linux and open source enthusiast and have been using Linux as my main driver for over 8 years now. I work as a software developer that unfortunately builds web applications to run on Windows (I don't get it either). I primarily use Common Lisp at my day job to develop large, automated, build systems, but am also familiar with Python, R, Go, and a bit of C. While I spend my work day in Windows, I use my early mornings and weekends learning everything I can about Linux. I am hoping to finally put some of those skills to use with the Fedora community .

• Ryan

Hey Ryan,

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

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:

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
