Presentation - Ask for approval

[Rodrigo de Araujo]

Hello there,

My name is Rodrigo, I'm 32 y.o and I am from Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

I am writing because I would like to join the Fedora Quality Assurance
Group, please. I already asked to join on the FAS system, so now it's
pending of approval.

I have a degree in Advertising and as a graduate student I am working on a
Master degree in Language and Technology. I work as a Audiovisual Producer
and Editor here.

I already help the project by voting for tags and adding tags to packages
without them. I also installed Fedora on 6 computers of friends and family
members, etc.

By joining this group I think I would be able to vote for supplemental
wallpapers too which is great. :-)

I pĺan to learn more about Testing and QA so I can help the group in the
next releases.

Thank you for your time.

My FAS account name is 'rodrigodearaujo'

With my best regards,

Rodrigo

Rodrigo,

Welcome to the group ML, Here we deal mostly with testing things in
updates, updates-testing, branched releases, and rawhide releases, so
when normal users use it it's as bug free as possible.

Consider doing the following if you have not already done so:

install the `fedora-easy-karma` and `bodhi-client` package suites and
familiarize yourself with  both https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org and
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

For the wallpaper bits and such consider membership / involvement in
`Commops` `Design` `Marketing` sub projects as well.

Hey and Welcome avillarreal

Thanks for your interest in joining qa team, I have approved your request.

Next,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 alpha candidate, 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.

Should you have any question, you reach out to me directly or in the list!

We also have on-boarding call when we have ~10 new people joining qa group , On boarding
calls are video+text (Hangout sessions) where we run through how to start and focus on how
to do testing the right way. Lookout for the "Call for action On boarding Call"
email this month!  

Thanks
