== Files Nightly Builds ==
The Files nightly flatpak can be a useful way to test, since this allows running the new version of the file manager on an existing Fedora 37 installation. To install it, run the following in the terminal:
<code>flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo</code>
<code>flatpak install org.gnome.NautilusDevel</code>
Known bugs with this Flatpak compared with the packaged version:
* In the open with dialog, the full list of apps isn't available
These issues can be safely ignored when testing.

=== Run the tests ===
Visit the '''[http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/151 results 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.

=== Do exploratory testing ===
Please also try to [[QA:Testcase_Exploratory_Testing|experiment and explore]] and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.


Use the latest Fedora 38 Workstation that includes GNOME 44.beta and see if you can find anything that's crashing or not working correctly. In that case, file a bug!

== Reporting bugs ==
== Reporting bugs ==


We have two separate places to file bugs. First, downstream in Fedora bug tracker. This is mostly useful for issues with packaging and for issues that need tracking downstream (blocker bugs for F38): [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Red Hat Bugzilla].
All bugs should be reported into the '''[https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME GNOME bug tracker]'''. A less-preferred alternative is to file them into '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com Red Hat Bugzilla]'''. Each application has its own separate project, just search for it. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just [[#Who's_available|ask us]].
 
Second, there's upstream [https://gitlab.gnome.org/ GNOME Gitlab] that's useful for issues that are likely not Fedora-specific. If you file an issue downstream that looks like it needs a code fix, please file it upstream as well, to make sure all relevant people get notified of the issue.
 
If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on [https://matrix.to/#/#workstation:fedoraproject.org Workstation Matrix] and we will help you.

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, 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?

This Test Day will focus on GNOME 44 Apps.

Who's available?

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

You can chat with us on Matrix or IRC. See the infobox on top of the page to learn where to join.

Prerequisites for Test Day

  • Fedora 38 Workstation nightly ISO image installed on either bare metal or in a virtual machine. (Make sure you have no important data on that system. Things might go wrong -- don't do this on your production machine!)
  • If you already have Fedora 38 Workstation installed, there's no need to reinstall, but just make sure you have the latest updates installed.

How to test?

Visit the results 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.

Please also try to experiment and explore and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.

Fedora 38 and GNOME 44 include a number of new features that would benefit from additional testing. These include: FIXME

Reporting bugs

All bugs should be reported into the GNOME bug tracker. A less-preferred alternative is to file them into Red Hat Bugzilla. Each application has its own separate project, just search for it. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us.

Test Results

Test results will be exported here once the test day is over. See How to test? section for information how to submit results and see the live results.
