Hey Melvin,


Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group.
Thanks Adamw for sponsoring!

You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/]
for Fedora 29, Fedora 30 and Rawhide. 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 31 Rawhide 20190601.n.0),
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 Open QA[
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA] its maintained by Adamw.
