Printing Test Day on Tuesday (2011-03-29)
by Tim Flink 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Rolling on with the Fedora 15 Test Days, we have the Printing test day this week: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-29_Printing This event will focus on all aspects of printing; including printer setup, printer sharing and printing jobs. In previous Fedora releases the application used in GNOME for configuring printers was system-config-printer. In GNOME 3 parts of that application are being replaced by more tightly-integrated functionality in GNOME itself: * print job notifications are now implemented in gnome-settings-daemon * status feedback is expected to be implemented there soon as well * a new control center module for printing has been implemented Full instructions are available on the wiki page [1] and there will be people in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC[2] throughout the day. Please help out if you have the spare time. Thanks! [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-29_Printing [2] irc://irc.freenode.net/fedora-test-day

Power Management Test Day on Thursday (2011-03-24)
by Adam Williamson 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

The Fedora 15 Test Day schedule continues to roll, and this week it's the turn of power management: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-24 This event will concentrate on testing how well various common power management operations work on a range of systems, and also on testing the functionality of the new generation PowerTOP[1] utility. As this Test Day aims to test out existing functionality on a range of hardware, it's vital that we get as many testers as possible so we can find as many bugs as we can! The testing is easy, quick and will be possible entirely from a live CD - the Test Day team are currently working on creating the live CD. QA and development team members will be available all day to help you with testing and reporting your results. Full instructions are available on the Wiki page, and we'll be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC[2] all day long. Please do come along and help out on Thursday if you have a bit of spare time! Thanks a lot. 1. http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop 2. irc://irc.freenode.net/fedora-test-day -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

The second of the GNOME 3 Test Days took place on 2011-03-10. Test Day drew a smaller number of testers than last time (19), but thanks to their will to go through about twice as much test cases this time, lots of bugs in various areas were discovered. So let me say thanks to all of you who took the time to help out with the testing!

Many of these bugs could benefit from triage, so if Bugzappers have time to work on that, it would be great. Let me say thanks again to all the testers, hope to see you next time (2011-04-07) for the third and last of Fedora 15 GNOME 3 Test Days! -- Vitezslav Humpa Fedora QA Team

2011-02 Graphics Test Week recap
by Adam Williamson 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Another Graphics Test Week has gone by, so here's the statistical recap! Participation was back up again to one of its highest levels ever this time, which is great: thanks to everyone who came out and also promoted the event. We got some really solid testing in and already resolved some major issues for the F15 Alpha. Here's an updated version of the numbers I've been running: f11 nouveau: 104 tests, 42 bugs - ratio 0.40 f12 nouveau: 53 tests, 34 bugs - ratio 0.64 f13 nouveau: 78 tests, 26 bugs - ratio 0.33 f14 nouveau: 39 tests, 8 bugs - ratio 0.21 f15 nouveau: 83 tests, 55 bugs - ratio 0.66 f11 radeon: 55 tests, 46 bugs - ratio 0.84 f12 radeon: 61 tests, 81 bugs - ratio 1.33 f13 radeon: 48 tests, 33 bugs - ratio 0.69 f14 radeon: 32 tests, 18 bugs - ratio 0.56 f15 radeon: 66 tests, 38 bugs - ratio 0.58 f11 intel: 23 tests, 21 bugs - ratio 0.91 f12 intel: 29 tests, 31 bugs - ratio 1.07 f13 intel: 38 tests, 38 bugs - ratio 1.00 f14 intel: 33 tests, 28 bugs - ratio 0.84 f15 intel: 37 tests, 25 bugs - ratio 0.68 Intel and Radeon both posted solid bugs-to-tests ratios. Nouveau is up significantly; I theorize that the cause of this is the increased level of functionality needed to support Shell, which mostly falls in areas that are difficult for the nouveau driver (being based on reverse engineering, rather than provided specs, as with the other two drivers). Here's the other chart, tracking how we handle the bugs that are reported - obviously, this time adding the numbers for F14 as we can't see into the future for the F15 bugs... f11 nouveau: 42 bugs, 4 open, 8 closeddupe, 24 closedfixed, 6 closedunfixed - 70.59% f12 nouveau: 34 bugs, 11 open, 8 closeddupe, 14 closedfixed, 1 closedunfixed - 53.85% f13 nouveau: 27 bugs, 17 open, 6 closeddupe, 3 closedfixed, 1 closedunfixed - 14.29% f14 nouveau: 8 bugs, 5 open, 3 closeddupe - 0% (small sample) f11 radeon: 46 bugs, 14 open, 10 closeddupe, 19 closedfixed, 3 closedunfixed - 52.78% f12 radeon: 81 bugs, 19 open, 32 closeddupe, 28 closedfixed, 2 closedunfixed - 57.14% f13 radeon: 36 bugs, 28 open, 3 closeddupe, 5 closedfixed, 0 closedunfixed - 15.15% f14 radeon: 18 bugs, 13 open, 0 closeddupe, 3 closedfixed, 2 closedunfixed - 16.67% f11 intel: 21 bugs, 7 open, 1 closeddupe, 12 closedfixed, 1 closedunfixed - 60% f12 intel: 31 bugs, 7 open, 12 closeddupe, 12 closedfixed, 0 closedunfixed - 63.16% f13 intel: 42 bugs, 26 open, 4 closeddupe, 11 closedfixed, 1 closedunfixed - 28.95% f14 intel: 28 bugs, 21 open, 4 closeddupe, 1 closedfixed, 2 closedunfixed - 4.17% To refresh your memories, the percentage is 'closedfixed' / (bugs - 'closeddupe') * 100, the intention being to give an indication of what proportion of bug reports wind up in a fix. Full details in the F13 recap - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-April/090271.html . This continues a worrying trend from last time; we really seem to be dropping our rate of fixing Test Day bugs. I will try to investigate in more detail to see what's happening here. The raw lists of bugs reported from the F15 Test Days follow.
