Subject: Self-introduction: Yoann E. A. Le Bihan
Hello QA team,
I'm new here, so I'm following the onboarding process I was referred
to at the IRC meeting on Monday... to begin with, a quick intro on the
list! (My IRC handle is vbird.)
As I did the same last week on the infrastructure list (looks like
what I do for a living at $DAYJOB, so I started there), I'm reusing
the same bullet points (sorry for the repetition if you've already
read that before:)).
- Skills I have: Linux sysadmin for roughly 15 years (including 13+
in a professional capacity); PHP developer in my early years; system
scripting (mostly bash and Perl); VoIP / SIP with Asterisk (at a time
it still looked like a revolution!); virtualisation (but mostly
proprietary products).
- Skills I'd like to learn (or improve): Python (a bit rusty), Ruby,
Ansible, Docker & OpenShift, KVM, OpenStack, anything else that could
be fun playing with.
- Location & timezone: Luxembourg, CET/UTC+1 (or CEST/UTC+2 in the summer.)
I spent most (all?) of my professional life self-employed working with
open source techno but I never actively participated in any open
source project before. This year, I decided it was time for me to give
back to the community, and so... here I am! ;)
At this stage, I haven't read all the intro material of the QA section
of the wiki but I'm on it now.
Hope to join/help soon!
Cheers,
Yoann E. A. Le Bihan

Hey,
First of all, Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in Fedora QA. I would like you
to send a QA group request , I will sponsor you :).
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 25
and Fedora 26. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1 Karma
for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort
the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" &
"testing" . You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also, use
fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.
you can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you need to do
is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, let's take the
latest compose (Fedora 27 Branched 20170817.n.3), you can run test cases which are
mentioned [2] and submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[3] will have "How to test" section which will
have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the expected
results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page
{{result|PASS|<fas_username>}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated
release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page , if your test
case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page
{{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}} and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora.
You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test
For Automation, you can start looking at Taskotron
[
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron]
and Open
QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA].
