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.

(Shall update this section soon)

Test Results

Specific L10N bugs like typos and translation mistakes should be directly reported to the local translation team mailing list or a bug report should be filed at Bugzilla against the related language. General bugs that affect all languages like strings not marked for translation, downstream patching that breaks translations and input method issues should be filed against the related package. 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.

How to file bugs

The following links helps you to guide to file both l10n and i18n related bugs:-

Fill one bug report by component and issue
You should fill only one bug report by component and by issue.Be sure to link the report here quickly then, to let people re-use it.


The Testing Process

Testdayapp

  • The testdayapp is a new interface developed by Adam Williamson for testing. From Fedora 23 L10n test day, we will be using this app to test the l10n packages and provide the test results.
  • Testdayapp for Fedora 23 L10n Testing is here.

Steps for testers

  • Translation teams/translators are free to prioritize packages they find more important to test.
  • Go to the Fedora 23 app page.
  • Applications to test is categorised into Fedora, Gnome and Firefox. For better viewing and to avoid cluttering, these applications are further divided into 4-5 sections.
  • Click on the application name you would like to test. This will take you to the testcase page of that application explaining you about the application and steps to test.
  • After completing the testing process of each application, press on the "Enter Result" shown below each applications. This will take you to a form where you can enter the test results for that particular application. Please enter the enter in the form as shown below and click on "Submit" :
  (i) Username = Your name OR FAS name

  (iii) Select the result as PASSED or FAILED or INFO
  (iv) Bugs = Bug number of the filed bug.
  (v) Mention your comments or notes in the COMMENT section
