F43 Beta RC1 is here, please participate in test coverage

[Kamil Paral]

Hello,
the first F43 Beta RC is here, and we need to make sure it works well. The
Go/NoGo meeting is happening tomorrow [1].

All important information and links are in this announcement:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...

The test coverage tool is important, it can show what was tested fairly
recently, or not in a long time, so that people can focus their attention
the right way. It has sections related to particular editions (Desktop,
Server, Cloud) and general sections (Installation - which is not just
Anaconda, but also e.g. upgrades; and Base system functionality).

Available automation (coconut, anaconda-bot) tries to populate many fields,
but it doesn't have full coverage. Please focus on empty fields. For Beta,
ideally all Basic and Beta test cases should be marked as passing. Testing
Final test cases is optional at this point, but very appreciated.

The linked BlockerBugs website [2] displays current blockers and freeze
exceptions bugs. Any help debugging, fixing and verifying those is very
welcome. If you've found a new bug, please add it to the wiki matrix (if it
corresponds to one of the test cases), and you can also propose it as a
blocker using the same BlockerBugs tool (if you find it really important,
or you find it violating some of release criteria - the tool will guide
you).

With any questions, please reach out [3].

Thank you!

Thanks everybody for participation, F43 Beta is going to be released next
week.

Please note that this is not the end! We will be working on the F43 Final
in the upcoming weeks, and we would appreciate it if you could help with
its testing sooner rather than later. In order to get bugs resolved, we
need to know about them early. So please, use the F43 Beta release
validation matrix linked above, ale help us fill out all the Final test
cases as well. File and mark any found bugs, propose them as blockers if
appropriate. You can also use any future compose nominated for testing for
this (watch out for the announcements), just make sure to see the test
statistics page first, to identify which test cases haven't been tested in
a long time, and should be prioritized. You can find all the necessary
links in those announcements.

Thank you!
