Hi there,

My name is Antonette Caldwell. I'm interested in helping with QA. I have
somewhat of a background in Linux, but I try my best to do more in Linux
to remember the commands needed to get what I need done. I first came
across Fedora 26 back in my Fall 2015 when I took my first Linux course.
I was interested and blown away at the simplicity of the distribution. I
started studying and trying out other distributions, and I found that I
like how Fedora works. Fedora works for one part of me that I use it for.

I am currently 28, and married with three children. I currently work as
a help desk tech for General Dynamics, and I am looking to upgrade my
Linux skills for DevOps. I would like to test things out and see how
they work, and break them down and build them back up.

Thanks for taking the time to read and accept me into the group.

Hey Antonette,

Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group(There
are some blog links to get you started with this bit). If you have, I have
sponsored you by now. If you haven't send me a email with your FAS ID and I
will approve.

Blog Links:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/getting-started-fedora-qa-part-1/
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/getting-started-fedora-qa-part-2/
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/getting-started-fedora-qa-part-3/

You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/]
for Fedora 28, Fedora 29, and Fedora 30 (about to start).  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 compose (Fedora 30 Rawhide 20190121.n.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:

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

For Automation, you can start looking at Open QA[
