'''DELETE-ME''': [[Test Day:2009-08-20 ABRT|Last test day page]] for inspiration.

=== What to test? ===

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on '''Automated Bug Reporting Tool ([https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/wiki ABRT])'''. This tool should help non-power users with bug reporting, making it as easy as a few mouse clicks. ABRT is a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it collects the crash data (core file, application's command line etc.) and takes action according to the type of application that crashed and according to the configuration in the abrt.conf configuration file.

''Bottom line'': do not hunt the bugs with a pitchforks, rather use bugzappers/big light source to draw them from the dark and [http://fedorapeople.org/~dpravec/AsciiArt/MyBugZappers.html kill them easily at close range].

ABRT should be easy for users and very useful for developers and admins. Ease of crash/bug reporting and quick response from maintainers based on info from ABRT should make Fedora more stable and thus more attractive for users.

=== Who's available === 

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* Development - Jiří Moskovčák (IRC: jmoskovc)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:Kparal|Kparal]] (IRC: kparal), [[User:mnowak|Michal Nowak]] (IRC: mnowak)

=== Prerequisite for Test Day === 

You will need either fully updated Fedora 13 system or a custom live image for ABRT.

==== Fedora 13 installation ====
1. If you don't already have existing Fedora 13 installation, you may install from [http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13-Beta.RC2/ Fedora 13 Beta RC2].

2. Then add ABRT development repository:
<pre>wget 'fixme' -O /etc/yum.repos.d/abrt.repo
wget 'fixme' -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-abrt</pre>

3. Fully upgrade:
<pre>yum upgrade</pre>

==== ABRT live image ====
This is a non-destructive live image that you just download, burn to CD/DVD and boot from it. You can also make a bootable USB stick from it by using [https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ liveusb-creator].

=== How to test? ===

High level details on how a contributor can get involved.  This can include (but not limited to):

* Areas to target with exploratory testing
* A list of pre-defined test cases to execute
* How to report back results

=== Test Cases ===

Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  See [[:Category:ABRT Test Cases]].

=== Test Results ===

Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results.  Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include a link where to report bugs. For example:

Please report all bugs into [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora Bugzilla] against the '''abrt''' component.
