Which tests to run[edit]
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 Basic, 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 Basic 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.

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, or by using relval, with the
relval report-resultscommand. It provides a simple text interface 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.
Some tests must be run against particular Products or images - for example, the #Default boot and install tests. If no particular product or image is specified either in this page or the test case page, you can use any appropriate image. For example, you can run most of the #General Tests with the Workstation live image, or either of the Server install images.
If you notice a problem during a test which does not constitute a complete failure of the test, you should still file a bug report, but it may not be appropriate to propose it as a release blocker bug. Use your judgment in deciding this, with reference to the Fedora_Release_Criteria, which these tests are intended to verify. If you are unsure, err on the side of proposing the bug as a blocker.
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. You can test UEFI (including SecureBoot) in VMs as well.
Results summary page[edit]
The Test Results:Fedora 43 Branched 20250914.n.0 Summary page contains the results from this page and all the other validation pages for the same compose listed together to provide an overview.
Add, Modify or Remove a Test Case[edit]
- Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to the test mailing list and/or the appropriate working group mailing list (e.g. server, cloud, or desktop).
- Once reviewed, make your changes to any current documents that use the template (e.g. Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test).
- Lastly, update Template:Cloud_test_matrix with the same changes.

Test Matrix[edit]
Cloud Provider Setup[edit]
Expand one of the sections below for instructions on setting up and running these testcases on a specific provider. More information can be found on the Fedora Cloud page and the Cloud Working Group website.
Amazon EC2 (via management console)[edit]
Personal account[edit]
- Obtain an AWS account (the approval process can take several hours).
Fedora group account[edit]
Amazon provides us with a community account. This account is currently used by: Fedora Infra, CentOS, Fedora-CI, openQA, logdetective, CoreOS, Cloud, ABRT, and others.
To avoid costs, you can contact the Infrastructure team and request access to Fedora's AWS account for testing purposes, per this SOP.
- Check your groups at https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/user/<ACCOUNT>.
- You must be in the aws-* FAS group (or another group with access) to perform this action.
- To access the AWS Console via Ipsilon authentication, use this SAML link.
Launch an Instance[edit]
- Log in to the AWS Management Console.
- Navigate to the EC2 console.
- To select the desired Amazon Machine Image (AMI), you can either:
- Use the "Direct launch link" (if provided).
- Search for and select the desired AMI in the IMAGES > AMIs section of the EC2 console.
- Ensure that your instance's security group is configured to allow SSH access (default TCP port 22).
- Launch an instance with the AMI.
Amazon EC2 (via Testing Farm)[edit]
Testing Farm Access - Testing Farm provides a streamlined way for Fedora and CentOS Stream contributors to access Amazon machines for testing. More information about public ranch users can be found here.
- Access Method: You can access Amazon images via Testing Farm; see the installation steps.
- Obtain API Key: Generate your public API key for Testing Farm. Note: The API key is shown only once and is distinct from the API ID. Generate API key.
- In Terminal:
export TESTING_FARM_API_TOKEN=<TOKEN> - Search: Find the appropriate nightly build and architecture from the latest datagrepper message (e.g., x86_64 or aarch64).
- In Terminal (Reserve Machine): Use the following command as an example:
testing-farm request --sanity --compose Fedora-Cloud-Base-AmazonEC2.x86_64-Rawhide-20251119.0 --arch x86_64 --reserve
Openstack[edit]
- Use your own OpenStack deployment
- Provide or create an SSH keypair
- Make sure that your security group allows for SSH (default tcp port 22)
- Log in to the Horizon dashboard
- Find the image URL at http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/ or as provided in release candidate documents.
- Add the image to OpenStack, either using the OpenStack web dashboard (see step 4 here) or with glance image-create --name "Fedora version" --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --is-public true --copy-from url
- Launch the instance (in the dashboard, under the "Images" heading, click the "Launch" button for the appropriate image
Local testing[edit]
- You can deploy the cloud image locally either using the well-known
virt-installtool or a Fedora-specifictestcloudtool. See Local cloud testing with virt-install or Testcloud quickstart guide, respectively. - Once logged in the virtual cloud instance, you can perform the tests below.
