+ | ==== ISO Test Builds ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you've visited the tracker and can see what builds are available for testing, you can now decide which of the available iso's you will test. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This page will look similar to this | ||

+ | |||
+ | After you have selected an architecture, | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{images.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will now see all the download possibilities available to you, choose which suits you and download your iso for testing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{downloads.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are going to be regularly testing the iso, you might look at using [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | This can make some difference in the amount to download, particularly useful if your speed is slow, spotty or you have download limits. | ||

==== Test Instructions ==== | ==== Test Instructions ==== | ||
+ | Once you have your iso, you can burn this to media or use a virtual machine to boot the iso. Once you are in a position to boot the iso, you will want to choose which testcase to run | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{testcases.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Selecting one of the testcases will show you a page with some links at the top, followed by the testcase to follow | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{links.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Follow the testcase text to the end, noting issues that you have seen. | ||
+ | |||
==== Submitting Results ==== | ==== Submitting Results ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have completed the testcase you are in a position to report your result on the tracker, you will see this section of the tracker page directly following the testcase detail | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{reporting.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have noted bugs during the testcase you have 2 options: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Critical bugs: These are bugs which cause you to not pass the testcase. For example - you start the installer but are unable to complete. Mark your test as Failed.< | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bugs: These are bugs discovered during the test, which don't affect the testcase. For example, an application not part of the test, crashes and you see the crash dialogue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below the Submit button, you will see a list of bugs that other reporters have noted during the //same test and milestone// - regardless of when, a bug in a daily test could have been reported at the cycle start. | ||
