Hi folks! I just wanted to send out a call to emphasize that it's really important for us to run all the Final validation tests *now*, so we can catch any blocker bugs as early as possible and have time to work on them calmly. It's not good to wait for the "candidate" composes because we really only do those when we're nearly ready to release; it's intended that until that time, we test on Beta or the nightly composes that are nominated for release validation events.
You can always find the summary page for the most recently-nominated nightly here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary
that page is synthesized (via scary wiki magic) from the individual results pages, where you'll find full instructions and download links:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_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_Cloud_Test
Testing the nightlies is a bit preferred to testing the Beta as they have newer bits, but it's still useful to run the Final tests on Beta, if you want to do that, the pages are:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Summary
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Installation https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Server https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Base https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Desktop https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Cloud
It would be awesome if folks can help make sure as many Final tests have been run as possible. If you find any bugs, please report them to Bugzilla and propose them as blockers if appropriate via https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug . The test cases almost all link to the release criteria they relate to, you can read those to see if the bug seems like a blocker; if you're not sure but it feels serious, go ahead and propose it, we can always reject it!
There is a 'longitudinal' view of the validation results at https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/44/ . You can use that to find tests that have not been run at all for F44 yet, or not run for a long time. Look for rows with red backgrounds especially.
Thanks folks!
