=== What to test? ===

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on widespread testing of Fedora [[Virtualization]] in general, with a particular emphasis on some [[Category:F11 Virt Features|new F11 features]]:

* [[Features/KVM PCI Device Assignment|KVM PCI Device Assignment]]
* [[Features/KVM and QEMU merge|KVM and QEMU Merge]]
* [[Features/SVirt Mandatory Access Control|SVirt Mandatory Access Control]]
* [[Features/VirtImprovedConsole|Improved Graphical Console]]
* [[Features/VirtVNCAuth|VNC SASL Authentication]]

=== Who's available === 

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* Development - [[User:Markmc|Mark McLoughlin]], [[User:Rjones|Rich Jones]], [[User:Berrange|Dan Berrange]]
* Quality Assurance - [[User:jlaska|James Laska]], [[User:cward|Chris Ward]], [[User:blesk|Michal Marciniszyn]]

=== Documentation ===
* [[Getting_started_with_virtualization]]
* [[How to debug Virtualization problems]]

=== Prerequisite for Test Day ===

You will primarily be concerned with testing Fedora 11 as a virtualization host. You will need:

* A fully updated Fedora 11 Rawhide machine.  
** [[Releases/Rawhide|Information on installing and upgrading to rawhide]]
** [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-April/msg00008.html Information on installing Fedora 11 Preview]
* Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V). If unavailable, you can still help with testing QEMU support.
* At least one guest image installed before the test day.
* Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
* See test areas below for area specific requirements

=== How to test? ===

Jump on IRC, pick some areas to test from the table below, add yourself to the table and file bugs as you see them.
