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.
