Hi Everyone,
My name is Ryan Himmelwright and often go by himmAllRight on the
internet and IRC. Outside the web, I've spent the last few years in the
greater Boston area, but have recently moved to Durham NC (both USA).
I have been lurking around the various Fedora groups over the last few
years, but have never fully taken the plunge into a project. I am
interested in becoming more involved with the QA group, in particular to
help develop some of the testing tools (in addition to some package
testing).
I am a Linux and open source enthusiast and have been using Linux as my
main driver for over 8 years now. I work as a software developer that
unfortunately builds web applications to run on Windows (I don't get it
either). I primarily use Common Lisp at my day job to develop large,
automated, build systems, but am also familiar with Python, R, Go, and a
bit of C. While I spend my work day in Windows, I use my early mornings
and weekends learning everything I can about Linux. I am hoping to
finally put some of those skills to use with the Fedora community .
- Ryan

Hey Ryan,
Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group. If you have, I have
sponsored you by now.
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 27,
Fedora 28, and Fedora 29. 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 29 Branched 20180923), 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].
