However, it depends on disk encryption, which is a Beta requirement. That is a problem, if disk encryption doesn't work, you can't test the rest of the test case. That means you can test Alpha criteria because you are stuck on a broken Beta feature.<br>> <br>> Furthermore, the test case basically duplicates https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_encrypted , from my POV.<br>> <br>> So I suggest to amend Testcase_base_startup and change this sentence:<br>> "Follow all defaults, with the exception that you should encrypt a system partition (e.g. the root partition)."<br>> to this:<br>> "Follow all defaults, with the exception that you may encrypt a system partition (e.g. the root partition)."<br>> <br>> And of course the expected results would be a slightly differently formulated as well.<br>> <br>> This will fix the discrepancy (Alpha test case depending on Beta features), and remove the duplication.<br>> Thoughts?<br>> -- </div><div><br></div><div>Just axe the encryption bit all together? That would be cleaner, I think.</div><div><br></div><div>John.</div> </div></body>
