Replying to [comment:4 clumens]:
> I'm still unclear on the difference in expected results for
the ''Skip
bootloader'' and the ''update bootloader'' test case.
When a new kernel
package is installed during the upgrade, it will run grubby (see the
%script of the kernel rpm) and modify grub.conf. When we choose ''Skip
bootloader'', does that mean that anaconda '''will not'''
write a new
bootloader configuration and '''will not''' run grub-install,
but
'''will''' update the existing grub.conf when the new kernel is
installed?

Regardless of what option you pick on the bootloader UI, the kernel's
%post scriptlet will still get run. So you can't help but get grub-
install run and grub.conf changed.
If you select "Skip bootloader", you won't get the screen that allows
you to setup how the bootloader should be configured, anaconda won't write
out a bootloader configuration for you, and it will not run whatever
program installs the bootloader for your platform.
Thanks clumens, Then is there any way to test the difference between
“update” and "skip" bootloader? The existing

update bootloader] test has the same results no matter one chooses update
or skip bootloader.
