List any prerequisite needs for the test event.  A fresh system, virtualized guest, a blank DVD ... a desire to break software?
* A virtual machine or a bare metal machine
 
* An installation of Fedora 35 (any Edition or Spin). Make sure to fully update your system. If installing a fresh system, it's recommended to use the latest [https://www.happyassassin.net/nightlies.html nightly image].

Here's a chunk which is commonly used for most Test Days. Replace XX with whatever Fedora release is pending:
 
* An updated [http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Fedora XX pre-release], [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] (tips on installing Rawhide below), or a [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ nightly live image]

Example: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2020-02-20_Gnome_3.36_Test_Day#How_to_test.3F


=== '''Update your machine''' ===
If not using the TestDays app, provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute. For examples, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Cases . If possible, always include https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Exploratory_Testing among test cases. If using the TestDays app, link the test cases in it.
-->


If you're running Fedora XX, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:
Visit the '''[http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/NUMBER results page]''' and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the ''Enter result'' button for the test.


=== '''Live image''' ===
Please also try to experiment and explore and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.


Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]]. Live images can be found [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ here].
== Reporting bugs ==


== Test Cases ==
<!--
If there are multiple places where to report bugs (e.g. general GNOME bugs go into upstream GNOME GitLab, and only packaging issues or non-GNOME bugs go to Red Hat Bugzilla), mention it and advise users where to file which issues.
-->


Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].
All bugs should be reported into '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla]''', in most cases against the <code>FIXME</code> component.  If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us on IRC (see instructions above).


== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results.  Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
Test results will be exported here once the test day is over. See [[#How_to_test?|How to test?]] section for information how to submit results and see the live results.
 
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=udisks udisks], or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=gnome-disk-utility gnome-disk-utility] for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, if your system worked correctly, simply enter the word '''PASS'''. If you had trouble, enter the word '''FAIL''', with a footnote indicator, and put a link to the bug report in the References column (as in the example line). For tests you could not perform, enter a dash.

If you're not using TestDays app for submitting test results, and want to let users input results directly into wiki, here's an example results table:

Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?

This Test Day will focus on <<FIXME>>

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion:

You can chat with us on IRC. See the infobox on top of the page to learn the right IRC channel.

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • A virtual machine or a bare metal machine
  • An installation of Fedora 35 (any Edition or Spin). Make sure to fully update your system. If installing a fresh system, it's recommended to use the latest nightly image.

How to test?

Visit the results page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Please also try to experiment and explore and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.

Reporting bugs

All bugs should be reported into Bugzilla, in most cases against the FIXME component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us on IRC (see instructions above).

Test Results

Test results will be exported here once the test day is over. See How to test? section for information how to submit results and see the live results.
