QA group activities + goals discussion
by Adam Williamson
Hi, all. Just before I left the Raleigh office after my week for
orientation and getting to know the rest of the QA team, we had a
meeting to try and set some goals for Fedora QA for this year.
'We' is myself, James Laska, and Will Woods. In the spirit of community
that I am supposed to be bringing to the team, I wanted to throw these
topics open to the list to try and get your feedback on the same topics
we discussed.
Off the top, we should be honest and open: Red Hat pays Will, James and
now myself to work on Fedora QA full time. In my case, what RH want from
me is quite purely and simply to try and help the community - external
contributors - to improve the quality of Fedora as a project. In Will's
and James's cases, though, things are slightly different. Part of their
value is to produce tools and work on processes that, as well as
contributing to Fedora QA, also contribute to the process that
ultimately improves the quality of Red Hat's other products. In addition
to that, they're real engineers who know how to write stuff, and all
engineers like to come up with ideas and implement them. So, given that,
there are always going to be things that the internal QA guys are
working on that are decided by RH or by themselves. No matter how open
and community-friendly we are, it will never be the case that the work
and goals of those paid by RH are entirely determined by the
collaborative process.
However, bearing that in mind, it's still very valuable to RH, Fedora,
and the Fedora QA community to hopefully get all your opinions on these
issues, and it can certainly help to set my goals and help everyone
involved in this project think about what they're doing, what they'd
like to do, and how we can all work together towards the ultimate goal
of making Fedora an even better project.
So, to the topics! We set ourselves three simple questions
1. What does Fedora QA do?
2. What should it do?
3. What should it do first?
We'd like all of your input on these questions - just let us know what
you think. Broadly, we identified several things we - as a project - do:
* Exploratory testing: simply using Fedora, updates-testing, or Rawhide,
and complaining when stuff breaks. We agreed that this is at least as
important as anything else QA does, but sometimes isn't treated as such.
We agreed we should always emphasize that this is important and
valuable, try to help ensure it can be done as effectively as possible
(through things like the Bugzappers project), and try to always
communicate to everyone that simply doing this kind of testing is an
important and valued contribution to the QA project.
* Structured testing: this is the more in-depth testing we do, such as
regular testing of specific functions based on test plans, the use of
automated tools such as Beaker and Nitrate (once they're ready), and
test days. It also covers the case where another group contacts us with
a request to do specific testing on a certain function. A lot of
discussion here covered the Beaker and Nitrate projects; my take on
this, as a new guy, is that they sound like really great tools that will
help us a lot when they're ready.
* Bug zapping: all the great work done by the Bugzappers team, mainly
triaging and following up bugs to ensure they're properly handled from
report through to released update.
* Tooling: this is the work done, particularly by Will, to write the
tools that allow structured testing to take place. We agreed that it
would be good to get more contributions to this area, and that it's
important to communicate the tools we do / will have available so they
can be used to their full ability. This is important for things like
Bodhi - we'd like to make sure that kind of system is more widely used.
We also had discussions on things arising from the above, like the
importance of Rawhide, and meta-tasks like documentation and community
relations, which are important in attracting and enabling people to do
the actual tasks.
We also identified some specific goals. See also this Wiki page I
created: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Goals
1. Increase participation in Rawhide: it provides a huge benefit in
terms of identifying issues and having them fixed quickly and early in
the cycle.
I am going to work on communication and documentation issues around
that, and Will is going to work on producing a tool which simply tests,
every day, whether you can a) install Rawhide fresh and b) update from
latest stable+updates to Rawhide. This serves two purposes: it both lets
you know whether it's worth actually attempting to install Rawhide that
day if you wanted to know, and if we track the results over time, it
provides an incentive to the developers to improve the reliability of
Rawhide.
2. Make release testing more accessible
Encompasses many sub-tasks.
* defining what role QA serves in the release process
* defining what QA can do during the release process
* how can the community get involved?
* who tests what, when, and how?
This is what we're doing at present with the Wiki cleanup: the purpose
of this is to make it easier for people to get involved and know what we
do.
3. Strengthen the QA tools portfolio: aim to have Nitrate available in
prototype form by June, as we believe it will be really useful both in
improving the amount and quality of testing we're able to do, and
providing a fun and easy-to-use system that will get more people
involved with QA. There's also Beaker, which may take longer. This is
what wwoods is mainly working on.
So, what's your opinion on the above? Do you have anything to add to the
lists of what QA does, or should be doing? Do you feel there are any
specific problems stopping us performing at our full potential, that
should be solved as soon as possible? Do you have any ideas on making QA
more accessible and getting more people involved? Please let us know.
Thanks!

Please help smoke test Fedora 11 installation!
by Adam Williamson
Hi, everyone! As you no doubt are aware, we're getting close to the
final release of Fedora 11. For anyone who has the time, it would be
really useful to get some final smoke testing of the installer. If you
have some spare time and disk space - either on a real system, or a
virtual one - please take an hour or two to run an installation of
Rawhide, using the network installation method, and make sure it
completes without any really serious problems. We're particularly
interested in problems at the partitioning stage, since the storage
rewrite was the biggest and most problematic change in the installer for
Fedora 11.
Even if you have a slow connection and don't have time to complete the
installation, you can get to and through the partitioning stage
relatively quickly, and that's very valuable testing (we need to test it
on as many different disks, layouts, LVM / RAID setups etc as possible).
If you do encounter any problems, please file a bug, but also mail the
list so the bug can be reviewed to see if it should go onto the blocker
list for final release. At this point we're mostly looking for really
serious stuff, and regressions from the preview release in particular.
Official guidance from the Anaconda folks: "Any bugs introduced since
F-11-Beta that also are data corrupters, panics, failures to install in
"reasonable" configuration"
There's a test matrix on the Wiki where you can report results:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_RC_Install_Test_Results
It works backwards to most test day setups: instead of you looking at
the test cases and picking which to run, you should just run an install,
and if you hit problems, look through the list of test cases to figure
out which one it's appropriate to send your report to. Hopefully the
list of test cases covers all scenarios :)
Thanks, everyone!

Moving from Rawhide to F11
by Brian Vuyk
Over the last two months, I have been running rawhide on my main
machine, testing and filing bugs. Not that I had a ton to do. Maybe I
missed a lot, but the system was generally very stable and useable the
whole time.
Now that we are approaching the launch date, is there any way that I can
move this system to F11 from Rawhide? Since I've been using this system
for so long, and I have everything set up just the way I like it, I am a
little hesitant to completely reinstall from fresh F11 media if I can
avoid it.
I imagine it is mainly a matter of changing the repos. Are there other
components I am not thinking of? Is there a list of what the F11 repos
will be, so I can update them?
Thanks for all the hard work on F11 guys - you rock!

Dbus changed?
by Reid Rivenburgh
Another thing that's no longer working after upgrading to F11 is a
perl program I have that detects the screen being locked. It
basically reads output from this command:
my $cmd = "dbus-monitor --session
\"type='signal',interface='org.gnome.ScreenSaver',member='SessionIdleChanged'\"";
(FYI, I call gdmflexiserver to bring up the gdm login when the
screen's locked.) It never generates any output when I lock the
screen now. Has this changed? I saw something in the release notes
about dbus, but it sounded more like a SElinux thing.
Thanks again,
Reid
