#72: Proposal for reducing test permutations -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Test Review | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- = problem =

So far we have similar test cases for a same test area, and it's not quite useful to test all of them.

= analysis =

Take RAID cases for example, as James said:"We aren't hitting any problems anymore that are specific to RAID0 but work on RAID5. The main focus for this tests is to make sure that we identify a real-world RAID install partitioning setup, anaconda can execute that partition scheme, and dracut can boot it."

= enhancement recommendation =

I would like to propose for removing the following cases and keeping a representative one instead:

RAID: * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningRootfsOnRaid1 QA/TestCases/PartitioningRootfsOnRaid1] * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningRaid0OnLvmDevice QA/TestCases/PartitioningRaid0OnLvmDevice] * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid0 QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid0] * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid5 QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid5] * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid6 QA/TestCases/PartitioningUsrOnRaid6] (Replace them with this case: [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Install_to_Hardware_RAID QA:Testcase_Install_to_Hardware_RAID]) [[BR]]

Preupgrade: * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Preupgrade_from_older_release QA:Testcase_Preupgrade_from_older_release] [[BR]]

FTP Install: * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous] (keep the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpNonAnonymous NonAnonymous case]) [[BR]]

If you have any thought about it, please feel free to tell, thanks.
