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?

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on <<FIXME>>

Who's available

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

Development - Dan Book (grinnz)
Quality Assurance - Adam Williamson (adamw)

Prerequisite for Test Day

A system to test on, with an OpenGL-capable graphics adapter
A recent Fedora 23 Cinnamon live image (links to come closer to the date), or an installed and updated Fedora 23 with Cinnamon

How to test?

Live image

Download the live image and run as many of the test cases (listed in the test results section below) as you can and have time for. You may also install the live image and test the installed system, but of course only do this if you are comfortable runnng a pre-release distribution on the system you install to (or you have a disposable test system to use).

Update your machine

If you're running Fedora 23 Cinnamon already, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. Then run the test cases.

Reporting problems

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [1]. The component will vary depending on where you found the bug. If you do not know which component to file the bug against, please ask on IRC. 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.

Test Results

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 result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

User	Sample test 1	Sample test 2	Sample test 3	Sample test 4	References
Sample User	none	pass	warn ^[1]	fail ^[2]	↑ Test pass, but also encountered RHBZ #54321 ↑ RHBZ #12345

[1] Test pass, but also encountered RHBZ #54321

 == Prerequisite for Test Day ==
-List any prerequisite needs for the test event.  A fresh system, virtualized guest, a blank DVD ... a desire to break software?
+* A system to test on, with an OpenGL-capable graphics adapter
+* A recent Fedora 23 Cinnamon live image (links to come closer to the date), or an installed and updated [https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease.html Fedora 23] with Cinnamon
-* 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]
 == How to test? ==
-High level details on how a contributor can get involved.  This can include (but not limited to):
+=== '''Live image''' ===
-* Areas to target with exploratory testing
+Download the live image and run as many of the test cases (listed in the [[#Test_Results|test results section]] below) as you can and have time for. You may also install the live image and test the installed system, but of course only do this if you are comfortable runnng a pre-release distribution on the system you install to (or you have a disposable test system to use).
-* A list of pre-defined test cases to execute
-* How to report back results
-Here's another common chunk (again, replace XX as above):
 === '''Update your machine''' ===
-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:
+If you're running Fedora 23 Cinnamon already, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. Then run the test cases.
-=== '''Live image''' ===
+=== Reporting problems ===
-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].
-== Test Cases ==
-Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].
+If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=23]. The component will vary depending on where you found the bug. If you do not know which component to file the bug against, please ask on IRC. 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.
 == 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:
+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.
-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.
