{{admon/note | 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 [http://bugzilla.redhat.com 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 [[QA/Test_Days|current schedule]] and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.}}

== What to test? ==

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:
* '''Automated Bug Reporting Tool ([https://fedorahosted.org/abrt ABRT])''' 
* '''Unified Problem Reporting UI ([[Features/Unified Problem Reporting UI|libreport]])'''
* '''Gnome-abrt'''
* '''SEAlert integration'''
* '''Tainted kernel links'''
* '''abrt server UX'''

== Who's available ==

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* Development - Jiří Moskovčák (jmoskovc), Denys Vlasenko (dvlasenk), [[User:Mtoman|Michal Toman]] (mtoman), [[User:Rmarko|Richard Marko]] (rmarko), Filák Jakub (jfilak), Lichvár Miroslav (mlichvar)
* Quality Assurance - David Kutálek (dkutalek), Martin Kyral (mkyral)

== Prerequisite for Test Day == 

* Physical machine or a virtual machine
* An updated [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ Fedora 19 pre-release]

== How to test? ==

=== Update your machine ===

If you're running Fedora 19, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager.

=== Live image ===

You may download a non-destructive Fedora 19 live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]].

Use the following command to install/update all of them:

<pre>
yum -y install --enablerepo=updates-testing \
  abrt abrt-addon-ccpp abrt-addon-kerneloops abrt-addon-python abrt-addon-vmcore abrt-addon-xorg \

{{admon/note|Elfutils needed|Please make sure you have elfutils installed - abrt-ccpp is missing requires - [[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859674 Bug 859674]] }}

Make sure that:
* '''abrtd''' and '''abrt-ccpp''' services are running:
<pre>
# systemctl start abrtd.service
# systemctl status abrtd.service

# systemctl start abrt-ccpp.service
# systemctl status abrt-ccpp.service
</pre>
* file {{filename|/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern}} contains following output:
<pre>
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e
</pre>

== Test Cases ==


For better orientation there are several groups of test cases, top priority first.
Follow each of these test cases, or just some group(s) of them in case of limited time for testing.

=== New and important features ===

# [[QA:Testcase ABRT Reporting Known Crash]] - reporting of known crash
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT ruby gem]] - ruby exceptions
# [[QA:Testcase GNOME ABRT MAIN]] - gnome-abrt
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT Configuration Storage]] - configuration storage
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT SELinux]] - ABRT GUI now catches AVC messages, too
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT Knowledgebase]] - ABRT provides more information about common problems
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT server]] - ABRT server user experience

=== Basic functionality ===

# [[QA:Testcase_ABRT]] - Basic test
# [[QA:Testcase_ABRT_Logger]] - Logger plugin
# [[QA:Testcase_ABRT_Bugzilla]] - Bugzilla plugin
# [[QA:Testcase_ABRT_Mailx]] - Mailx plugin
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT CLI]] - CLI interface
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT kernel]] - kernel oops
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT python]] - python tracebacks
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT vmcore]] - kernel oops
# [[QA:Testcase ABRT cnotify]] - console notification

{{admon/important|Close all fake bugs you create!|During certain test cases you will be required to simulate application crashes and report these crashes into Bugzilla. It is '''very important''' that after every such fake report you open the link provided by ABRT and '''close that bug''' as NOTABUG with comment like ''"ABRT testing bug"''. Otherwise you would overload package developers with fake bug reports. Thank you.}}

{{admon/note|Report SELinux denials against ABRT|If you encounter some SELinux (AVC) denials during testing, please report them against the '''abrt''' package, not '''selinux''' package. Thanks.}}


{{admon/note|Try to break Abrt|Besides above test cases, fell free to experiment and try to break Abrt in your own ways. We will be happy with that :-).}}

== Test 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=18&component=abrt abrt], or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=18&component=libreport libreport] for bugs in the libreport library, or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=18&component=btparser btparser] for backtrace parser related bugs, or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=18&component=gnome-abrt gnome-abrt] for new Gnome Abrt GUI. 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. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

{{admon/note | Alternative reporting through the web application| If you are not familiar with the Wiki editing or you come here in prime time and there are a lot of conflicted edits in the Wiki, you can try to report via o  [http://autoqa-stg.fedoraproject.org/testdays/show_event?event_id=4 web application]. '''Results from this web application will be automatically transferred to the Wiki on 2013-05-21''' and the alternative reporting system will be shutdown to this date. Feel free to continue testing and filling the wiki even after this date. Please note the number of reports currently visible in the wiki doesn't correspond to the number of reports so far sent (i.e. reports sent through the web application).}}

{{admon/important|Enable the testing repository|To have the freshest available abrt build, please enable the test-day abrt repository by downloading [http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jfilak/abrt/fedora-abrt.repo fedora-abrt.repo] file and placing it in your /etc/yum.repos.d directory. This is important for the test day live image, as the image is missing some packages needed for some of the test cases and they are not present in the standard Fedora 19 repositories in the desired version. We aplologize for the inconvenience.}}
