Template for the verification process in redmine (QA)

If others testing team members are interested, i’m using this template for the verification process in redmine, i think it’s self-explanatory:

GENERAL WORKFLOW

    1. status of test box and list of packages/groups  currently installed
    2. replicate problem in detail
    3. install new package
    4. repeat testing above (2nd line)
    5. fixed/not fixed based on new testing, conclusion: VERIFIED or TRIAGED
    6. Misc Notes (Documentation Impact, other..)

VERIFICATION TEMPLATE

+System and  Package Version installed+
...
Package Installed: ...
Other Package installed: ...

+Test Original Problem+
...

+Install Updated Package+
<pre>
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update ... 
</pre>

+Test Results after update+
...

+Verified Or Reopen+
...

+Note+
...

AS AN EXAMPLE:

+System and  Package Version installed+
[description of test system (version, installation methods, upgrade history. etc).
Package Installed: [rpm -qa <package name>]
Other Package installed: [yum grouplist | sed  '1,/Installed/d;/Available/,$d']

+Test Original Problem+
[Reproduce bug if you can, showing steps taken]

+Install Updated Package+
[Update to new package, show steps taken]
<pre>
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update ... 
</pre>

+Test Results after update+
[Repeat steps carried out under TESTING above.]

+Verified Or Reopen+
[Problem fixed, then VERIFIED - not fixed, then TRIAGE]

+Note+
[Documentation Impact]
[Other]

note: maybe to comply the point 2 of the workflow, it would be nice that when a new bug is opened it contains

  1. status of test box and list of packages/groups currently installed
  2. howto replicate problem in detail

IMVHO :sweat_smile:

@vcc @nrauso @davidep @giacomo what do you think? Any advice? Could we extend it with some tips about QA? I really want Guidelines for a good QA process

We can start from this good page:
