If this is an open test week you might consider doing a Fedora Magazine article similar to what has been done in the past. Here is an example:

Hi @ngompa ,

I've prepared:

wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2026-02-02_KDE_Plasma_6.6
testdays app page: https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/testday/14
QA Calendar event: https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/QA/2026/2/2/#m11282

On the wiki, please edit the page and update everything as you see fit. I have prepopulated some parts but feel free to edit those as well.

Items of notice:

  • Prerequisites for the Test Day - how to download and install the image
  • Test cases in the test day - feel free to create a new testcase description in the wiki or find a testcase which could be reused for this purpose. I have recycled some older KDE testcases for now but those can be modified and added as necessary.

Thanks!

  • Test cases in the test day - feel free to create a new testcase description in the wiki or find a testcase which could be reused for this purpose.

Available testcases to choose from are mostly here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Desktop_test_matrix

Or new ones need to be written.

This issue has been migrated to Fedora Forge:

Please continue any further discussion there.
