I have completed my grads in 2016 on Computer Science. My area of interests
include data mining, data analytics.
Looking forward to contribute in fedora QA.

Hey Sudeshna,
First of all, Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in Fedora QA. Please apply for
qa FAS group sponsorship and let me know off list with your FAS ID!
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 25
Fedora 26 and Fedora 27. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a
+1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you
can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" &
"testing" . You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also, use
fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.
you can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you need to do
is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, let's take the
latest compose (Fedora 27 Beta 1.5), you can run test cases which are mentioned [2] and
submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[3] will have "How to test" section which will
have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the expected
results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page
{{result|PASS|<fas_username>}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated
release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page , if your test
case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page
{{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}} and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora.
You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_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_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test
For Automation, you can start looking at Taskotron
[

and Open
QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA].

We have a test day coming up for testing major changes in F27. You can find the
announcements on @test-announce list and community blog.
Upgrade test day is on 2017-10-11
We are currently doing our best to kinda test F27, it will be great if you start off
with release validation.
Feel free to get in touch , whenever you get stuck :)
Thanks
