Fedora testopia instance

Greetings,

As you may have read in recent planet blog posts [1], FUDCon presented a
great opportunity to discuss and debate some recent developments in the
Fedora QA space.  One popular topic was Testopia.  Testopia is a tool
for managing test plans and reporting test results
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/testopia).  Recent discussion centered
around how we can use it to improve the quality of Fedora milestones and
releases.

In the weeks leading up to FUDCon, Dave Malcolm and Jon Stanley were
working hard to package [2], install and configure a Testopia instance
on a fedora infrastructure system.  The fruit of their efforts is
available for evaluation at
https://publictest2.fedoraproject.org/testopia.  

During the F10 campaign, the proposed plan is to pilot using Testopia to
house Installation-related and Feature test plans, test cases and test
results.  For those who have been editing wiki tables, this should come
as welcome news.  Once F10 is released, the Fedora QA community will
need to make a recommendation on whether to continue using Testopia for
future Fedora testing.

This is still in the early stages in that we are learning how best to
make use of Testopia.  I encourage folks to add their notes, issues, and
frequently asked questions for the pilot at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Testopia_Evaluation.  If you have
suggestions or would like to share your experiences, please stop by
#fedora-qa and share the news.

Many thanks,
James
