Use Fedora 39 Workstation that includes GNOME 45.beta and see if you can find anything that's crashing or not working correctly. In that case, file a bug!


Visit the '''[http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/162 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 [[QA:Testcase_Exploratory_Testing|experiment and explore]] and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.

Fedora 39 and GNOME 45 include a number of new features that would benefit from additional testing. These include:
* A new Bluetooth menu in the system menu
* A new background apps list in the system menu (works for Flatpaks that are running without a window)
* Redesigned settings:
** Mouse & touchpad
** Sound
** Device security (under privacy)
* Improved drag and drop in the app grid
* New grid view in the file chooser (shown only for GTK 4 apps, or those using the file chooser portal)
* Wireguard VPN support
* Wi-Fi network sharing using a QR code
* In Files, the view expand folders in list view option has been restored.

Vast majority of bugs are likely going to be upstream code issues and should be reported into the '''[https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME GNOME gitlab bug tracker]'''. General desktop issues are generally reported against <code>gnome-shell</code>, and applications have their own separate projects.
All new 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]'''. General desktop issues are generally reported against <code>gnome-shell</code>, and applications have their own separate projects.
 
In cases where issues stem from downstream packaging (outdated components, broken dependencies) they should be filed into '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com Red Hat Bugzilla]'''.


{{admon/tip | We really need bug reports! | Please note that just mentioning your problem into the comments section on the results page is not very helpful. Very often those problems only happen in specific circumstances, or with specific steps taken. We need the logs and screenshots, and we need to be able to ask you followup questions. Please file bug reports, it's much more useful than a short comment. Thank you!}}
