#203: Create test case for boot-to-graphical-environment ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: adamwill Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 16 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Per #151, we are missing an explict test case for the Alpha criterion "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied", though it is somewhat implied by the more complex desktop test cases. It would be more correct to have a specific test case for this, however. We should create one, and add it to the desktop matrix. Assigning to myself for now, but if anyone else wants to take this, please do!

created a test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_base_startup . This actually also covers boot-to-text, as I re-considered merging that into the 'install-in-text-mode' case. It seems better to have consistent demarcation between the 'install' and 'base' test cases. This is another one for the 'base' matrix I'm thinking up.

I like it, thanks for drafting!
The only suggestion I would make involves the setup. It's a bit too much for a single test, imo. If you want to test both graphical and text-mode startup, I'd recommend splitting the test into separate tests for graphical and text-mode startup.
After the text installation and firstboot, the boot process should leave
you at a console with a working login prompt. If it does not, test whether you can at least access a working login prompt by switching to a different virtual terminal, with Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+F3 etc.
In the expected results, you have some additional test instructions. I wonder if those should appear in the 'how to test', instead? However, perhaps that would make more sense if the test is broken into two (graphical, text-mode).

Comment:
This test case is in production and in the Base matrix.
