Which tests to run
This page provides information about test coverage for the tests on this page across all the composes for the current release: it can help you see which test cases most need to be run.
Tests with a Milestone of Alpha, Beta or Final are the most important. Optional tests are less so, but still useful to run. The milestone indicates that for that milestone release or a later one to be approved for release, the test must have been run against the release candidate build (so at Beta, all Alpha and Beta tests must have been run, for instance). However, it is important to run the tests for all milestones as early and often as possible. Please refer to the test coverage page linked above and try to find and run tests which have not been run at all, or not run recently, for the current release.
How to test
1. Download one or more media for testing:
| Image | s390x |
|---|---|
| nightly compose path | image |
2. Perform one or more of the test cases and add your results to the table below
- You can submit results by editing the page directly for reporting test results.
3. If a test fails, file a bug report. You may propose the bug as a release blocker or freeze exception bug for the appropriate release - see blocker bug process and freeze exception bug process.
Tracker bugs
- ...
Don't install updates before performing any of the tests, as when you are testing pre-releases, available updates are not part of the proposed released package set.
In most cases, testing in a virtual machine is OK.

{{result|warn|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref>
|
| Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case. | {{result|pass|hongqing}} {{result|warn|kparal}}
| |
| previous <build> run |
Result from previous test run - This test result is directly moved from the test run of previous <build>. | {{result|pass|previous <build> run}}
|
| Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required. |
