#84: Define install matrix baseline ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem =
* We almost didn't find [http://bugzilla.redhat.com/578633 RHBZ#578633 - Unable to enter passphrase to unlock encrypted disk partitions] * When re-using test results from a previous test run, it's possible to include results for tests that should be re-tested. This would be bad.
= analysis =
* F-13 Beta candidate#3 didn't include the correct version of ''plymouth'' (see RHBZ #578633). * Since it was Beta#3 and not much was supposed to change from Beta#2, some test results from the previous Beta#2 candidate were carried forward. * Thankfully, QA found the problem before release while running the QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_(encrypted)_install test.
= enhancement recommendation =
* Establish better guidelines about which test results can be carried forward from one candidate to the next (this isn't easy). Or perhaps, establish a subset of tests that all respins must undergo. * Perhaps link to, or document at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installation_validation_testing
