Hey Hemanth,

First of all, Welcome and thanks for showing your interest in Fedora QA. To get 
started you need a FAS account and your FAS should be sponsored. You can create 
your FAS account (assuming you don't have one) 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/.
You will require a membership to Fedora QA group to proceed and you can get 
apply for 'qa' in here [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/].

I'm glad that that you found the three part article helpful. :) 

You can start off by testing updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for 
Fedora 24 and Fedora 25 .  Update testing is where a tester tests a package and 
gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to 
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases 
and tags viz "pending" & "testing" . You can read much about update testing 
here [1]. You can also, use fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.


you can start with  Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you 
need to do is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, 
let's take the latest alpha (Fedora 26 Alpha 1.1), you can run test cases which 
are mentioned [2] and submit your results in the test matrix.

Note that each of the test cases[3] will have "How to test" section which will 
have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the 
expected results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page 
{{result|PASS|}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated 
release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page , if your 
test case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page 
{{result|FAIL|}} and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora.


 You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test
