Hi everyone,
I've been using Fedora as a server and as my primary desktop OS for a little
over a year now, and would like to help make it even better by helping out
with testing. I studied computer science at the University of Chicago, and
have spent most of my career in Chicago as a software developer. I've been
tinkering with Linux and other Unix-like operating systems since 1999 (Red
Hat Linux 6.0!)
I tested a few items back when I was first getting my feet wet with the Bodhi
system. I figured it was time to say 'hello' and actually apply for
membership in the QA group.
Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark,
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:
