#660 [F34] Fedora Audio Test Days
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by sumantrom. Opened 3 years ago by sumantrom.

The following is a proposal for the test scope of PipeWire audio in Fedora, which could be tested as part of Fedora Audio Test Days.

Test Cases for Test Days (proposal)

Description

The following is a proposal for test cases that could be tested as a part of a Fedora Audio Test Day.

Possible test cases

  • PipeWire is used by default. This test case should test that audio is controlled by PipeWire by default.

    There are GUI and CLI tools to control sound available to the user. This test case tests that sound production can be controlled using different tools.

  • Sound can be played back from all applications – this test case tests that any audio application installable from Fedora repositories with a proper setup must produce audible sounds of expected quality using the selected hardware. This will cover the majority of JACK or ALSA based applications.

  • Sound can be recorded in all applications – this test case tests that any audio application installable from Fedora repositories is able to record sound from the external sources in expected quality. This will also affect default applications, such as Firefox, that is used for conferencing and the ability to receive sound is crucial for this use case.

  • Dedicated hardware can be used to produce or record audio – any dedicated audio hardware, especially soundcards, must play audible sounds of expected quality, as well as record them, if they have been successfully recognized by the operating system.

  • MIDI capable hardware communicates with the MIDI capable applications – if the MIDI capable hardware is properly recognized by the system, it must be able to communicate with an application. However, it should not ever be required that the application understands that communication fully and without issues.

@lruzicka is in charge for the test cases and post which we will be planning for a Test Day.


The first test day happened and the results are recorded on https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/events/103.

We missed a couple of a few brownie points that we could have scored if folks would be able to test on rpm-ostree based distros like Silverblue. But overall, a very successful test day.

@lruzicka Since the Beta is out, do you want to set a date for the next Audio TestDay/Week?

@lruzicka 6th april which is right after easter will be a good timeframe to have this one? Is that okay with you?

@lruzicka I am setting it up for 2021-04-09. I will post the wiki and the links here. We can run by the test cases if something needs our attention.
