Hey Dexter Haslem,
First of all , welcome to fedora qa team. I have sponsored you
You can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you
need to do is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example,
let's take the latest branched, you can run test cases which are mentioned [1]
and submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[2] will have "How to test" section which will
have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the
expected results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page
{{result|PASS|<fas_username>}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated
release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page , if your
test case fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page
{{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}} and file a bug at RHBZ [3] under Fedora.
You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test
You can also do update-testing, update testing is where a tester tests a
package and gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases
and tags viz "pending" & "testing" . You can read much about update testing
here [4]. You can also, use fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.

We also have Fedora QA onboarding call. The session is primarily targeted to
people who are enthusiastic and interested to learn and contribute in Fedora
QA. These are open onboarding session, which means there is literally no
knowledge required as pre-requisit. We are having the poll open for votes for
the best possible timings at
https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/Fedoraqaonboardingoct . Make sure you
vote your preferred timings. Note that all the timings are in UTC so convert
them to local time before you vote in.
Should you have any question, you reach out to me directly or in the list!
Thanks
Sumantro
