First of all, Thank you for making Fedora Linux so great. And, I am sure the QA team's contribution is essential to keep Fedora in high quality distribution. My name is Sahil Khan, and I have been in to Linux around 1 years, but I still feel that I don't know enough. I used Linux since 1 years. I started with RedHat 7.0 preparing for my RHCE certifications Exam. I started used Fedora 22 , and switched to SUSE, and CentOs, and, Ubuntu, and settled back to Fedora since Fedora 24, (I guess). My best interest is System admin, networking and iptables. I want to know more about networking and servers, and recently joining QA team might be a good way to get more experience.I have worked for Mozilla Community since last 2 years but due to lack of intrest and outside my domain stuffs i would ove to contribute to Fedora..Hope my prior experience in Open source Community help me work better here.. Outside of working with computer, I play guitar. I love to read manga and watch anime . Feel free to reach me. I am glad to be part of QA team.

Hey Sahil ,
Welcome to Fedora QA! I don't see your name in the request list . Could you please check if you have sent the request to Fedora QA FAS group?
As you know we just released Fedora 25. Fedora 26 cycle has already begun, you can start off with update testing on Fedora 25 by testing out packages. Fedora 26 Rawhide is out already and you do 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 RC (Fedora 25 RC 1.3), you can run test cases which are mentioned [1] and submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[2] 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 [3] 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
You can also do update-testing, 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 [4]. You can also, use fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.
