Subject: Introducing myself
Hi All,
I am Srijita Mukherjee. Have just finished my Internship at Red Hat and
that's how I came to the 'open source' world. Sumantro Mukherjee, my now
mentor has introduced me to Fedora 6 months back. I have seen others
contributing to Fedora QA and making it a better product everyday. This is
how my interest towards contribution has developed.
I have completed my Graduation in 2015 on Computer Science from West Bengal
University of Technology. I know I'm pretty much late to open source, but
would like to learn and contribute to Fedora QA.
Thanks and Regards,
Srijita
Hey Srijita,
First of all, Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in Fedora QA. You can send a
request to the FAS
group[https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/qa].
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 24 ,
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 alpha (Fedora 26 Alpha 1.7), 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:
