== Setting up a development installation test environment ==
* setup Linux distributive distribution (RPM based distro is preferred) on one of your [[QA Team hardware|test hardware node]]* follow OpenVZ [[Quick_installation|quick installation instructions]]guide
* install component which you want to test
* please consider setting up [[Remote console setup|logging console]], especially if you want to test new versions of OpenVZ kernel.
* add configuration of your hardware node to the [[QA Team hardware]] page
== Exploratory testing ==
With an installed version of the development release up and running, you can perform exploratory testing against any packages of components you wish. Go wild! Try and break things! See if the new software can handle the unexpected, or even the normal use cases. If you find found a bug, report it as described at [[Reporting_OpenVZ_problem|report itreporting OpenVZ problem]]!
We release a new OS template as soon as new version of appropriate Linux distro is available. New OS templates are announced at [[News/updates]] page and on the [https://lists.openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/announce announce@ mailing list]. Follow these steps to validate new OS template: * download new OS template (you can use {{Man|vztmpl-dl|8}} tool for that)* create a container based on that OS template
