ctubbsii opened a new issue #127: Create "test cases" to help users contribute 
to release testing
URL: https://github.com/apache/fluo-website/issues/127
 
 
   To help with release candidate testing, and to give people a way to give 
feedback who may not really be familiar with Fluo, we should have some test 
cases documented on the website, and linked to from the releasing section of 
our docs.
   
   A test case is a simple series of instructions that tells a user exactly 
what to do, and what should happen. It should *NOT* be a HOWTO or instructions 
on what is going on. A test case is not intended to be a teaching tool 
(although users running test cases) may learn something... but *EXTREMELY* 
simple step-by-step instructions that requires no thought whatsoever to follow 
and report back the results.
   
   Some examples of test cases can be found here on the [Fedora wiki][1]. Two 
simple ones are [opening PDFs in evince][2] and [verifying basic yum 
commands][3]. There are other examples, but I think these two represent the 
idea best. One provides simple instructions for testing a GUI application, and 
the other for CLI. What they have in common I think best represents the idea.
   
   Good test cases will allow people to contribute to Fluo releases without 
knowing anything about Fluo.
