Hey Justin, thanks for the suggestion!

To grab the date you want, just add your event to the schedule following the format of the other days, there's no formal acceptance procedure, it's first come first served :)

For info on the process of setting up the test day, see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management

let us know if you get stuck at any point, or would like any help with the PR or anything. thanks!

Justin, the category page provides a good list of features that would make prime candidates for the test day (VirtioSerial, VHostNet, Hostinfo, VirtAuth, VNCVNCTunnel). However, there are several features listed as incomplete (< %30 implemented). Are these features still planned for F13?

Though I think the main thrust is to find new bugs, if people are looking for things to test, they can help triage and attempt to reproduce existing bugs:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs

These bugs highlight areas of potential weak code, and it's also helpful to know whether they are present in the latest code.

There's also one of my own bugs which may block some types of testing entirely:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523981

It's filed against the kernel, and I'm not sure that's correct, nor do I really know how widespread this problem is.

The test day is scheduled for this Thursday (2 days from now). A skeleton wiki page is in place, but I don't see many test cases assigned to the different features yet (see [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization wiki]).

Are there any areas you'd like help defining test cases for? If time is too short for creating test cases, I would suggest cancelling or postponing the test event to allow for more preparation.

Test cases are covered, the wiki will be complete this afternoon. The only other prep that has not been tackled yet is making test live images.

jforbes: if the nightly composes [1] are not satisfactory, I can help you with creating custom live images (custom set of packages, or some additional packages from your own repo), if you don't know how to do it. Just contact me tomorrow at latest (UTC+2).

I've sent the test announcement:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2010-April/000060.html

I have noticed that the Test Cases are on the wiki. Is there anything else we need to do/prepare??

The last step is to prepare/test/upload the live image ISOs for test day, I am doing that right now.

Some of the tests are not in an easily digestable format. I would recommend using the test case wiki template where possible (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:QA/Test_Case), and also categorizing tests appropriately (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Virtualization_Test_Cases). I've started cleaning a few tests up already, but some additional tests could use similar cleanup. For example:

• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_gPXE gPXE] - seems pretty straight forward ... perhaps just convert to a test case
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_VHostNet VHostNet] - contains a large text file ... can this be converted to a more formal list of test cases?
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_VirtioSerial VirtioSerial] - contains a large text file ... can this be converted to a more formal list of test cases?
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_libvirt_Stable_PCI_Addressed Stable_PCI_Addressed] - I cleaned up the test cases already, but the wiki page is just a list of tests. Can we move this list of tests into the main page, or flesh out more detail on this page.
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_libvirt_Shared_Network_Interface Shared Network Tests] - need to be converted to [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:QA/Test_Case Template:QA/Test_Case] and categorized into [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Virtualization_Shared_Networking_Test_Cases Category:Virtualization_Shared_Networking_Test_Cases]
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_libvirt_VNC_Resource_Tunnel VNC_Resource_Tunnel] - the page needs more detail, or cases need to be moved back to the main page. I've cleaned up the test cases
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_libguestfs libguestfs] - these are some good looking tests, is someone able to convert them into formal test cases?
• [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_NetworkInterface Network Interface] - Same, looks like some test instructions, can these be migrated into test cases?

some cases did not use template, I had updates for these pages:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_gPXE

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-08_Virtualization_VHostNet

Test day is over, thanks for everyone's hard work. A summary of this can be found at:
