{{admon/note | 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 [http://bugzilla.redhat.com 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 [[QA/Test_Days|current schedule]] and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.}}

== What to test? ==

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on the SystemConfig tool Kdump.Kdump is a graphical user interface that allows the user to configure kernel crash dumping via kdump and kexec. .

More information about Kdump can be found at the [https://fedorahosted.org/system-config-kdump/ Kdump web site].

== Who's available ==

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* IRC channel - #fedora-test-day
* Development - [[User:Developer1|Dave Young]] (daveyoung)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:Tester1|Chao Wang]] (ChaoWang)

== Prerequisite for Test Day == 

The following prerequisites are recommended:

* An updated [http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Fedora 17 pre-release], or a [http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17-Beta.RC1/Live/ Desktop Fedora 17 RC1] or [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ Desktop nightly live image]

== 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
-->

=== '''Live image''' ===

If you do not wish to alter your computer's existing software, you may download a non-destructive live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]]. Live images can be found [http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17-Beta.RC1/Live/ here for Fedora 17 RC1].   The "Desktop" image is the one you want to download

== Test Cases ==

All test cases in [[Category:Kdump_Test_Cases]] as below:

#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Default]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Halt]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Shell]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Reboot]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_NFS]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_SSH_Filter]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_DebugMem]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_CrasherBug]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Preextra_Bins_Modules]]
#[[QA:Testcase_Kdump_Func_Postextra_Bins_Modules]]


== Test Results ==

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=17&component=system-config-kdump system-config-kdump]. 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, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
