== What to test? ==
== What to test? ==


Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Gnome Boxes. Gnome Boxes is intuitive application for managing virtual machines targeted towards typical desktop end-users, who just want to automatically install and run different operating systems on their hosts. Gnome Boxes is focused on usability and out of the box user experience with very little input from user.
Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Gnome Boxes.

=== Install latest Fedora 17 prerelease ===
Here is a few things we should do during the testing:

* Next would be box creation. This will involve:

* VM boxes: Create boxes for various OSs w/ and w/o express
installation and see if it goes as expected. When express installation
is chosen, no user interaction should be needed. BTW, unless hosts are
very powerful, I suggest not having more than 2 boxes running at a time.
* remote boxes: For this we'll need a/few remote machine(s) with
SPICE and/or VNC enabled.
 
* Once we have some boxes, we can test using of those boxes:
* Selecting them should bring them up, then you do random things
inside the guests (e.g browsing network, watching some media clip etc).
* maximized and unmaximized (resize window).
* windowed and fullscreened.
* Going into and out of the box.


{{admon/note|Hardware profile|

deleted by quitting boxes after deleting and starting it again (deleted
box should be gone). Test if cancellation of box deletion also works as
expected.


=== Install Gnome Boxes ===
=== '''Update your machine''' ===


Install Gnome Boxes by running: ''yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing gnome-boxes'' on installed system.
If you're running Fedora XX, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:


== Test Cases ==
=== '''Live image''' ===


{{admon/important|SELinux|You need to switch SELinux on host to Permissive mode using command '''setenforce 0''' after each boot.}}
Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]]. Live images can be found [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ here].

Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].


== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org Gnome Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-boxes&version=3.4.x gnome-boxes], or to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com RedHat Bugzilla] for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=17&component=gnome-boxes gnome-boxes] for Fedora specific bugs (installer, integration, etc.). 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.
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 [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=udisks udisks], or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=gnome-disk-utility 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, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested.
