!!! info "Associated release criterion"
    This test case is associated with the [Release_Criteria#Update Image](9_release_criteria.md#update-image) release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.

## Description
<!-- TODO provide documentation on the topic of updates.img -->
This test case verifies that an [update image]() can be loaded into Anaconda and applied during the install process.

{% include 'qa_data_loss_warning.md' %}

## Setup
{% include 'qa_setup_boot_to_media.md' %}
1. Hit the Tab key to edit the boot command

## How to test
<!-- TODO host this internally -->
1. Supply `inst.updates=https://fedorapeople.org/groups/qa/updates/updates-openqa.img` to the GRUB command line
1. Boot into the installer as usual.
1. In Anaconda, open the Installation Destination spoke.

## Expected Results
1. Within the Installation Destination spoke, the selected install disk should have a pink background
=== "FAIL"
    ![No update provided - **FAIL**](/assets/images/no_updates.png){ loading=lazy }

=== "PASS"
    ![Update provided - **PASS**](/assets/images/updates.png){ loading=lazy }

1. If you cannot verify visually, check for the existence of `/tmp/updates`, which should contain updated source files if the update was successfully applied. Note that if the update image doesn't actually contain any source files, this directory will not be created.
<!-- TODO does /tmp/updates appear without completing installation? -->

## Testing with openQA
The following openQA test suites satisfy this release criteria:

- `install_scsi_updates_img`
