wiki - Verifying AutoQA tests

[Kamil Paral]

Hello,

I have tried to create another piece of documentation,
that could help new test developers testing their
new tests :)

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Verifying_AutoQA_tests

Feel free to improve.

Great write-up!  I wonder if we should focus on verifying using only
autotest-client, and only mention autotest-server as an exceptional case
(or not at all)?  Anything that requires someone to follow the autotest
setup instructions [1] to validate their test will most certainly 
scare them off.

I've made a minor wording change to address this.  Hopefully this
doesn't change the initial intent for your document.

As always, comments/concerns/criticisms encouraged!

Thanks,
James

Thank you, I agree, we will consider local testing as default and
link to autotest-server stuff as more advanced usage.

Just be merciful with the wordplay, for us non-english it sometimes
takes non-trivial brain power to puzzle it out :)

Heh, great point.  I'm notorious for phrases that don't translate
well :(   Couldn't think of anything universal at the time, I'll change
that once something more clear comes to mind.

Thanks,
James
