Subject: Introduction: Raymond Chung
First of all,
Thank you for making Fedora Linux great. And, I am sure the QA team's
contribution is essential to keep Fedora in high quality distribution.
My name is Raymond Chung, and I have been in the industry around 15 years,
but I still feel that I don't know enough. I used Linux since I was in
college. I started with RedHat 5.5. I used it through Fedora 3, and switched
to Gentoo, and FreeBSD, and, Ubuntu, and settled back to Fedora since Fedora
17, (I guess).
My best interest is Kernel testing. Whenever I run into a kernel issue, such
as driver, or performance, I couldn't solve efficiently, or basically give
up. I want to know more about kernel, and recently joining QA team might be
a good way to get more experience with kernel.
Outside of working with computer, I play music. I love rock music, but jazz
and classical are my interests, too.
Feel free to reach me.
I am glad to be part of QA team.
Hey Ray
Sorry for the delayed response , as you might know we close to the release . You can start
with Fedora QA by creating a FAS account! Once you are done with the basics 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 RC (Fedora
25 RC 1.3), you can run test cases which are mentioned [1] and submit your results in the
test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[2] 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 [3] 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
You can also do update-testing, 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 [4]. You can also, use
fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.

Since you are specifically interested in Kernel , you can check
[https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=kernel] and help us to test for each of
these updates and modules.
Thanks
