Hey All,
I would like to make a proposal for updating and fleshing out some of test day guideline.
To start with the wording on the Top of Test Day page: If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.
+1, makes sense.
# Proposal 1: We would also like people to *not* do testing if we are testing something which are compose sensitive and post-test day chasing and finding the same bugs in the compose and filing dups won't make much sense. So, it will be best to reduce the time frame from a month to a week. Also, check the current schedule for something fresher and ready requiring testing love.

# Proposal 2: We would love to see more coverage on the test cases, let's take Modularity and as an example, Contributors found bugs in Rpi 3 (ARM) which weren't the case with x86_64, Profile field in the test day results page becomes very important and crucial. Maybe, we should avoid putting "Fedora-Server-dvd-xxxxxyyyyyyz.n.0.iso" which doesn't give much info about the testing environment or how it was executed. We might want to flesh out the importance of that field and it will be very helpful in coming future.
ISOs and other artifacts do contain arch value in their name. So, at least on which architecture testing was done should be easy to identify from name.
But yeah, adding environment details like specific hardware used for testing will be good addition.
# Proposal 3: Test Days have a specific team which takes on the task of curating the #fedora-test-day channel and these are mostly the people who are working on the feature being tested or developed for a significant amount of time. This is done to ensure that all the contributors/participants can pin point folks who are playing the role they are designed for.It's in the best interest of contributors that they shouldn't edit this section as they misleading if done without proper knowledge.

Thoughts?
