In construction
The Test Day page is yet in construction. It will be ready for the Test Day - when this message is removed :) .
Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Spice, the protocol to access remote VMs and physical linux systems.

New features

  • Xspice: spice server running inside the remote system you're connecting to
  • spice-html5: a client running inside the browser
  • file transfer: ability to copy file from client system to guest/remote system using drag and drop
  • new connection methods for virt-viewer/remote-viewer:
    • using .vv files
    • connecting to oVirt/RHEV-M VMs using ovirt:// URIs (similar to existing virt-viewer qemu:///... invocation)

Existing features

  • connection to remote VMs
    • optional SSL/TLS encryption
    • optional password or SASL authentication
  • smartcard sharing/remoting
  • clipboard sharing for text and image data, working both ways
  • client-mode mouse (with smooth transition between guest/remote system and client system and rendered instantly)
  • guest/remote system monitor layout
    • arbitrary resolution
    • multiple monitors
  • video remoting
    • detection of video stream
    • sync of audio with video
  • USB redirection

How to test?

What do I need for testing?

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 some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component udisks, or gnome-disk-utility for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
