Thursday 2011-02-17 was Xfce 4.8<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Xfce48</ref> Test Day<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-17_Xfce</ref>. The event was well organized by the Xfce team, and a dedicated group of testers was able to expose some important bugs to be fixed.
Thursday 2011-03-10 was the second of three planned GNOME 3 Test Days<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-10_GNOME3_Beta</ref>. Despite a reduced turnout, a lot of valuable testing took place thanks to the dedication of those who did show up, and many more bugs were discovered - some being fixed during the event. Vitezslav Humpa, who along with Radek Lat helped to organize this event, posted a <a href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2011-March/000206.html">recap</a> to the mailing list with a good overview of all the reported bugs.


The week of 2011-02-21 saw the traditional Graphics Test Week. [[User:Adamwill|Adam Williamson]] posted a full recap of the event to the mailing list<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2011-March/000200.html</ref>. He noted that participation was up again compared to the Fedora 14 events and that some important testing had been carried out, but also noted a worrying trend in status of bugs from previous events, with many bugs reported during the Fedora 13 and 14 events remaining unfixed. He promised to investigate the causes of this.
Thus Thursday, 2011-03-17, will be preupgrade Test Day<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-17_Preupgrade</ref>, where we will be testing this important mechanism for upgrading to Fedora 15. Upgrading is always one of the thorniest areas of a Fedora release, so if it's important to you and you can come along and help test, please do - the more testing we can get early on, the better the final result will be.


Last week and this Tuesday saw three Test Days under the internationalization and localization Test Week banner: the Anaconda i18n and l10n Test Day on 2011-03-01<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-01_L10n_i18n_Installation</ref>, the desktop i18n Test Day on 2011-03-03<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-03_I18n_Desktop</ref> and the desktop l10n Test Day on 2011-03-08<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-08_L10n_Desktop</ref>. These events were expertly organized and run by [[User:Igor|Igor Pires Soares]], [[User:Rhe|Rui He]] and [[User:Aalam|Aman Alam]], and were great successes with good turnouts and a lot of useful testing. Igor posted a recap<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-March/097613.html</ref> to the list, thanking all those who came to test.
Next Thursday, 2011-03-24, is scheduled as power management Test Day<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-24</ref>, to test out various aspects of power management in Fedora 15. However, planning for the event is not yet complete, so it may be cancelled or postponed.
 
Thursday 2011-03-10 is the second of three planned GNOME 3 Test Days<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-10_GNOME3_Beta</ref>, where we are continuing to work with the GNOME team to test GNOME 3.0 and its integration with Fedora 15 as rigorously as we can before the final release of both.
 
Next Thursday, 2011-03-17, will be preupgrade Test Day<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-17_Preupgrade</ref>, where we will be testing this important mechanism for upgrading to Fedora 15.

=== Official Fedora hosting of DeltaISO images ===
=== Test case management system comparison ===


Andre Robatino has been building and hosting DeltaISO images for Fedora releases and pre-releases for some time now, assisting users with limited bandwidth to install and test Fedora. At the weekly meeting of 2011-03-07<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20110307</ref>, it was announced that thanks to help from the Infrastructure team, from now on these images will be hosted within the Fedora project, making them much easier to access. They can now be found on the serverbeach1 site<ref>http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/deltaisos/</ref>.
Continuing her ongoing work on test case management system evaluation, [[User:Rhe|Rui He]] posted a proposed list of features<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-March/097606.html</ref> that the candidate new system, Nitrate, must have before it can replace the current system of using the Wiki to organize test cases. After [[User:Jlaska|James Laska]] replied<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-March/097616.html</ref>, the two continued to discuss and refine the list.

Test Days

Thursday 2011-03-10 was the second of three planned GNOME 3 Test Days[1]. Despite a reduced turnout, a lot of valuable testing took place thanks to the dedication of those who did show up, and many more bugs were discovered - some being fixed during the event. Vitezslav Humpa, who along with Radek Lat helped to organize this event, posted a <a href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2011-March/000206.html">recap</a> to the mailing list with a good overview of all the reported bugs.

Thus Thursday, 2011-03-17, will be preupgrade Test Day[2], where we will be testing this important mechanism for upgrading to Fedora 15. Upgrading is always one of the thorniest areas of a Fedora release, so if it's important to you and you can come along and help test, please do - the more testing we can get early on, the better the final result will be.

Next Thursday, 2011-03-24, is scheduled as power management Test Day[3], to test out various aspects of power management in Fedora 15. However, planning for the event is not yet complete, so it may be cancelled or postponed.

Test case management system comparison

Continuing her ongoing work on test case management system evaluation, Rui He posted a proposed list of features[1] that the candidate new system, Nitrate, must have before it can replace the current system of using the Wiki to organize test cases. After James Laska replied[2], the two continued to discuss and refine the list.

Fedora 15 Beta preparation

The first Beta blocker/nice-to-have review meeting took place on 2011-03-11[1], and the team worked through the full list of proposed Beta blocker and nice-to-have bugs. The first Beta test compose is due for release on 2011-03-22.
