Hey, folks. I've drafted up my proposal for adding EFI testing to the installation matrix here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_QA_Fedora_17_Install_Resu...
Compare to the current:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_17_Install_Results_Template
It's fairly straightforward - it just adds an 'EFI' column to some of the tables, after 'i686' and 'x86_64', and adds a result box only to those tests it makes the most sense to repeat with EFI. I think I included all the tests it really makes sense to specifically do with EFI; the others are all variations to which it really shouldn't make any difference whether you're booting EFI or not. In total, 13 tests get 'EFI' boxes with the change.
Please do comment if you think there's any problem with the change or if you have a better idea for how to do it! Thanks.
The trac ticket here is https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/256 .

It makes the result matrix even more complex :/ But I don't have a better idea.
Can we make the fields where EFI is not defined grayed out? See "Key" table at the top of the page.

Yeah, that's another way of doing it, might be more readable than just not having fields at all, as the difference between a field and no field is actually smaller than that between a white-background field and a grey-background field...I'll probably switch that, thanks.

Okay, that's done now:

Unless anyone comes up with a bright idea to do this better, I'll go ahead and put it into practice ahead of TC2. Thanks!

Well, I lied about that, but I've gone ahead and applied it now, so it'll be live for RC2.
