QA:Testcase Live Image
Description¶
This is to verify that the correct Desktop starts correctly when booting ISO's. This testing can be done either via burning optical media or Fedora Media Writer, however, the recommended method for testing is utilizing a virtualization utility.
All items in this category are considered ⬇️ - Low priority. It would be good to have this tested, but if it isn't or if it fails then it is inconsequential.
Releases, Architectures, and ISO's¶
Live images are only created for Aarch64 and x86_64. Not all Desktop live images are created at release but will be updated as upstream dependencies allow.
| Distro | aarch64 | ppc64le | riscv64 | s390x | x86_64 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocky Linux 9 | Cinnamon KDE MATE Workstation Workstation Lite XFCE |
N/A | N/A | N/A | Cinnamon KDE MATE Workstation Workstation Lite XFCE |
| Rocky Linux 10 | KDE Workstation Workstation Lite |
N/A | N/A | N/A | KDE Workstation Workstation Lite |
Setup¶
- For each ISO in a release architecture, download the corresponding ISO.
- Use an virtualization application to boot the ISO image.
How to test¶
- Boot the system from the ISO.
- Validate the Desktop environment loads correctly.
Expected Results¶
- Desktop is displayed for users to interact in. Navigating the menus and selecting entries must work.
- System boots into the appropriate desktop.
