Fedora Remix OS testing strategy

Former Member

What is the strategy for testing the Fedora Remix OS prior to release to customers?

 

It is apparent from the recall of the first release of Fedora Remix that neither

Seneca nor the Foundation nor Farnell is doing adequate OS testing before

making it available for download.

 

What are the plans to improve this situation?

 

Will the Foundation, which reportedly has no employees get involved

in OS testing? 

 

Will Farnell get involved with OS testing?

 

Will OS testing get subcontracted out?

 

Will there be beta releases of the OS?

 

What OS capabilities will get tested?

 

What applications will get tested?

 

What performance criteria will get tested,

such as boot time, ability to keep up with user input,

X Window performance?

 

What stability criteria will get tested, such as

frequency of needing reboot?

  • Hello,

     

    I think you will probably be lucky to get answers to all your questions, but you could enrol for the Webinar in April by Eben Upton and see if you can get answers to your questions, or at least some of them, there?

     

    I wouldn't risk directing you to the foundation's forum, because I think you may end up with a swift ban asking questions like that image

     

    I suspect that in time everything will get ironed out and hopefully with Farnell and RS on board, industry standard testing will be performed. I think the lack of paid staff, as you have already hinted it, has caused things to go a little wrong in places, as there simply isn't enough people to go around.
