We could potentially slice and dice this a few ways. One way to view
the tests would be by milestone (alpha, beta, RC etc..). In section
"Test Pass/Fail Criteria"
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/Fedora9Install#head-fe8bc4554801c1b99ceb2f2b3f508a3f4bd16fcf)
I've attempted to outline how the test results will be evaluated at the
different F9 milestones. For example, for the Alpha ...

That might be a bit aggressive ... but no better way to tell than trying
it. A big outstanding piece is to define what tier#1 includes.
How do folks feel about ...
Tier#1
* Install Source / URL
* Install Source / NFS
* Install Source / NFS ISO
* Install Source / DVD
* Package Sets / Default Package Install
* Package Sets / Minimal Package Install
* Partitioning / ext3 on native device
* Partitioning / rootfs on LVM device
* Partitioning / rootfs on RAID1 (not sure about this one)
* User Interface / Graphical Installation
* User Interface / Text-mode Installation
* User Interface / VNC Installation
The intent is that the tier#1 test results provide a 10,000 ft view of
how usable a given tree is. From there we might dive deeper involving
specific hardware setups and complex environments.

Good call John, I agree.
Thanks,
James
