== Prerequisite for Test Day ==  
== Prerequisite for Test Day ==  


* Access to a printer
List any prerequisite needs for the test event.  A fresh system, virtualized guest, a blank DVD ... a desire to break software?
* Fedora 16 Alpha (or newer; live image is fine)
 
* Usb key
* Usb externally connected HD IDE/SATA
* Empty HD IDE/SATA/SCSI
* Free space on HD
 
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]
* Your hardware profile uploaded to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions]


== How to test? ==
== How to test? ==


A variety of printing tasks should be attempted, including:
High level details on how a contributor can get involved.  This can include (but not limited to):
 
* Areas to target with exploratory testing
* A list of pre-defined test cases to execute
* How to report back results


* Configuring a printer not yet known to the system
Here's another common chunk (again, replace XX as above):
* Printing a test page
* Printing something more complicated, e.g. OpenOffice document, PDF, email
* Taking advantage of extra print features of your printer e.g. duplexing, stapling
* Inducing errors such as out-of-paper, printer off-line, and noting behavior


=== '''Update your machine''' ===
=== '''Update your machine''' ===


If you're running Fedora 16 Alpha, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. Or:
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:


=== '''Live image''' ===
=== '''Live image''' ===


Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Fedora 16 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].

== Test Cases ==
== Test Cases ==


* [[QA:Testcase_Printing_New_Printer|Connecting a local printer]]: Expected behavior is that when a new local printer is connected, drivers will be installed as needed, a queue will be created for it, and the user will see a notification message about it.
Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].
{{admon/tip|Checking the Device ID is correctly listed|The hpijs, gutenprint-cups, foomatic-db-ppds and foomatic packages all contain tags that associate them with the Device IDs for the printers they support. If you are not given the opportunity to install one of these packages when your printer is supported by them, it may be that they do not list its Device ID correctly.  You can check this by running <code>/usr/share/system-config-printer/check-device-ids.py</code> as root.}}
* [[QA:Testcase_Printing_Known_Printer|Reconnecting a local printer]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Printing_Network_Printer|Printing to a network printer]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Printing_Complex|Printing copies/pages/duplexing from the print dialog]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Printing_Troubleshooting|Status feedback]]


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


* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=15&component=gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon] for problems relating to job reporting and printer status feedback in GNOME Shell
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:
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=15&component=control-center control-center] for problems specific to printer administration in GNOME Shell e.g. the system settings module
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=15&component=cups cups] for printing problems that persist even when using command line utilities such as '''lp'''
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=15&component=gtk2 gtk2] for printing problems common to all GTK+ applications using the GTK+ print dialog
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=15&component=system-config-printer system-config-printer] for bugs in the printing configuration program used in GNOME fallback mode and in other graphical environments


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, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
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.
