{{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 installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on testing the rewritten and updated LiveUSB Creator tool, now known as [[Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable|'''Fedora Media Writer''']], for different operating systems and architectures. The new tool is intended to be provided as the primary download option for Fedora 24 Workstation, with the aim of lowering the barrier for potential users to try and install Fedora.

== Who's available ==

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* Development - [[User:Eischmann|Jiří Eischmann ]] (Eischmann), [[User:Mbriza|Martin Bříza ]] (Mbriza)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:Adamwill|Adam Williamson]] (adamw), [[User:pschindl|Petr Schindler]] (pschindl), [[User:Sumantrom|Sumantro Mukherjee]] (sumantro), [[User:Achembar|Arvind Chembarpu]] (achembar)

== Prerequisite for Test Day == 

{{admon/warning|Data loss|Any data on the USB stick used for this test is likely to be destroyed. Please do not use a stick whose contents you need to keep.}}

* USB flash drive (min. 4GiB)
* Root access on the system used to write the drive (or admin access in Windows)
* The latest version of the tool (see next section)

== How to test? ==

=== Install the tool ===

* Fedora : {{command|1=sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --best install liveusb-creator}}
* Windows: Download [https://mbriza.fedorapeople.org/liveusb-creator.zip liveusb-creator.zip], extract it, and run the executable

=== Run the tests ===

Visit the [http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/6 result page] and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the ''Enter result'' button for the test.

== Reporting bugs ==

Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:

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=24&component=liveusb-creator liveusb-creator]. Please also make the bug 'block' the [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310542 tracker bug for issues with the tool], by putting '1310542' in the '''Blocks:''' field. 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 ==

-=== Exploratory testing ===
-If you run out of test cases, congratulations! But that's not the end! You can still help out by playing around with the tool in whatever ways you can think of: try out all the things you can find, and try writing different Fedora images with it. If you have systems with different Windows versions, try running the tool on all of them. Get creative! Any problems you find please file a bug, or report to the IRC channel.
