This is something I've said a few times before but not so much in a formal sense. It plays into some stuff I've been working on as of late and I figured it was about time to write about it. As far as I know, the QA in Fedora QA …
Now that the blocker tracking app has moved onto production Fedora infrastructure, we have a new way to propose blocker and freezeException bugs for Fedora releases under development. The Old Way Before now, the only ways to get a bug proposed as...
I think this topic came up in the past but it was more of a "wouldn't it be cool if we did this" thing than an actual proposal. While at FUDCon Lawrence, we came up with a proposal to create a web form to assist in proposing blocker and freeze …

One thing that I think we've all done in the past is write comparisons of different tools and frameworks. I've certainly done several in the past and they were read one or twice (by nobody other than my team mates) and are forgotten unless the...
One of the things that I've been thinking about lately is how to do more testing of builds in updates-testing without needing to rely on pre-written scripted test cases. There's nothing wrong with scripted testcases but they're a bit painful to...
