Hi Rafi,

Although the Red Hat Satellite and Proxy products have a dedicated
Quality Assurance team, we have not had the team bandwidth to scrub our
internal documents and tools for external consumption by the community.
 As the supervisor of the team, I have it as one of my team's goals for
the year.  I can't give you a specific time right now as we are
incredibly busy with the commercial product and cannot dedicate the time
necessary.

However, if you are interested in a less formal means of testing the
basic sanity of the product and your specific installation, I would
recommend running through the copious content of our various guides on
Satellite and Proxy (most all of the content should be accurate for
Spacewalk):

RHN Satellite Administrative Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.1/html/Installation_Guide/index.html

RHN Proxy Server Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.1/html/Proxy_Installation_Guide/index.html

RHN Satellite Reference Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.1/html/Reference_Guide/index.html

Client Configuration Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.0/html/Client_Configuration_Guide/index.html

Channel Management Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.0/html/Channel_Management_Guide/index.html

Basically, you should be able to run through the scenarios in these
guides without problems... if not, you either have a configuration
problem or we have *gasp* a bug in the code (/me pokes the developers
reading)

In this way, you can become very familiar with all aspects of the
product, verify the functionality of the product, and validate the
quality of our documentation.

Another thing you may want to try is searching for closed public
Spacewalk, Satellite, and Proxy bugs within Bugzilla.  Although these
can get very complex or esoteric, most bugs do have good steps to
reproduce bugs, and in this way, you get some use cases with
step-by-step instructions (warning, there are a lot of edge cases in
Bugzilla-land).

I hope that's enough to get you started.  But for others that are
interested.  We do have a large quantity of Test Plans, Test Cases, and
Automation that we may be may be able to share in the future.  But if
there is interest in creating a Spacewalk Community QA group, I'd be
willing to facilitate getting something started.

Thanks.
Brandon
