== What to test? ==

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Gnome Boxes. Gnome Boxes is intuitive application for managing virtual machines targeted towards typical desktop end-users, who just want to automatically install and run different operating systems on their hosts. Gnome Boxes is focused on usability and out of the box user experience with very little input from user.

{{admon/note|Hardware profile|
* Upload your hardware profile to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions]}}

{{admon/note|Update system|
* After you install Fedora 17 prerelease, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager or running ''yum update'' on installed system.}}

=== Install Gnome Boxes ===

Install Gnome Boxes by running: ''yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing gnome-boxes'' on installed system.

== Test Cases ==

{{admon/important|SELinux|You need to switch SELinux on host to Permissive mode using command '''setenforce 0''' after each boot.}}

* [[QA:Testcase Gnome Boxes manual installation]]
* [[QA:Testcase Gnome Boxes express installation]] (unattended installation)
* [[QA:Testcase Gnome Boxes basic usage]]
* [[QA:Testcase Gnome Boxes box configuration]]
* [[QA:Testcase Gnome Boxes box removal]]


* Next would be box creation. This will involve:
* VM boxes: Create boxes for various OSs w/ and w/o express
installation and see if it goes as expected. When express installation
is chosen, no user interaction should be needed. BTW, unless hosts are
very powerful, I suggest not having more than 2 boxes running at a time.

== Test Results ==

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org Gnome Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-boxes&version=3.4.x gnome-boxes], or to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com RedHat Bugzilla] for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=17&component=gnome-boxes gnome-boxes] for Fedora specific bugs (installer, integration, etc.). 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.
