Beta is done <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jskladan/Sandbox:F18_Criteria_Testcases_Beta>, some issues I've come around:

--------------------------
5. The installer must be able to use the HTTP, FTP and either NFS or NFSISO remote package source options 
    - The testcase <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_NFS_variation https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_NFSISO_variation> is marked as Final

6. It must be possible to install by booting the installation kernel directly, including via PXE, and correctly specifying a remote source for the installer itself, using whichever protocols are required to work for package retrieval at the current phase (Alpha, Beta, Final). This must work if the remote source is not a complete repository but contains only the files necessary for the installer itself to run.
    - <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Pxeboot> Marked as Alpha

9.  The installer must be able to complete an installation using automatic partitioning to a validly-formatted disk with sufficient empty space, using the empty space and installing a bootloader but leaving the pre-existing partitions and data untouched
    - Testcases as #12 Alpha criterion
    - Testcases do not mention that pre-existing partitions must be untouched

16. When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should provide a working login prompt without any unintended user intervention when boot is complete, and all virtual consoles intended to provide a working login prompt should do so
    - This is exactly the same as #19 Aplha criterion, maybe we'd like to leave it just Alpha or Beta 

23.  All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work 
    - IMHO no testcase covers this
