i18n installer test cases revised

[Adam Williamson]

Hey, folks. Thought it'd be good to let this list know, as I think 
they originated with the i18n team.

Today I significantly revised these four test cases:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Arabic_Language_Install
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Asian_Language_Install
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Cyrillic_Language_Install
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Non-
English_European_Language_Install

Since they were basically identical except for the name of the 
language (group) to be tested, they now are all produced using a 
single template:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Testcase_language_install

language / language group name, and example languages, are passed as 
template parameters, this is described in more detail in the template 
documentation. If you want to tweak the test case text at all, just 
make the edits in the template, and they will appear in all the test 
cases (this is the neat thing about using templates).

the content of the template is based on what was previously in the 
test cases, but with some revisions to match current anaconda 
behaviour. The 'Welcome' screen is now present on live installs, so 
the long set of instructions for doing a live install in a different 
language that was on one of the pages (but not the others) are no 
longer needed.

These test cases now form part of release validation testing:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Installation_test_matrix#Internation...

All release validation test events from now on will have these test 
cases in their Installation result page. Hopefully this should mean we 
catch crashes and bugs in non-English installs much earlier than 
before.

Thanks!

That's great.
We are also in the process of planning Test event for F22. Will see if
anything more needed for this.

Hi Adam

Went through the above mentioned test case for language install. I have few suggestions :

1. Under "How to Test" step number 8, instead of writing "using characters that are placed differently on the keyboard layout in use" if we may write like " using native characters with native available 
   key map for the language in which it is being installed", it would be more appropriate, I guess.

2. And another thing is, once the system is installed, there are some integral parts like post installation initial-set up screen which we may give a hint on it in the last step, to follow in order to get 
   the system ready for further use after reboot.

3. We can also hint to check the language support/s and related packages that has been opted during installation, has been installed properly or not during the post installation check.
