Hey Tom!


Welcome to Fedora QA, I have sponsored your FAS group request you by now.

You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/]
for Fedora 28, Fedora 29, and Fedora 30 (about to start).  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 30 Rawhide 20190121.n.1),
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_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.
