Subject: Self-introduction: Hemanth Kumar
Hello
so, let me introduce myself.
I am Hemanth kumar , 26 years old and i live in India. I started using linux
from the year 2013. And am currently doing preparations for RHCSA.
I am interested in helping with QA for fedora and have applied to join the
Fedora Quality Assurance Group (qa).
And i got interested in doing so after reading the three part series on
getting started with fedora qa from the fedoramagazine post-
https://fedoramagazine.org/contributing-fedora-quality-assurance/
I have wanted to contribute before and was confused on how to get started.
I also consider myself a newbie when it comes to linux contributions.
IRC: hethkar @freenode
Thank you
Hemanth Kumar

Hey Hemanth,
First of all, Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in Fedora QA. To get started
you need a FAS account and your FAS should be sponsored. You can create your FAS account
(assuming you don't have one)
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/.
You will require a membership to Fedora QA group to proceed and you can get apply for
'qa' in here [
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/].
I'm glad that that you found the three part article helpful. :)
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 24
and Fedora 25 . 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 alpha (Fedora 26 Alpha 1.1), 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:
