In order to prepare for the Xenial Xerus, an LTS, which makes testing twice as critical, I wanted to make sure all of our testcases are pristine to ensure the quality of Lubuntu.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">So if you are someone, especially an existing QA tester(to "scratch your own itch", per say :) ), that wants something extra to do, give us a hand. Our main priority is to get LXQt testcases created and ready so that when the Y cycle comes around (as far as I remember that is our planned release of Lubuntu with LXQt), we have testcases ready. So if you are already part of the LXQt project, we could ESPECIALLY use your help, because we want to ensure that these are as clear and concise as possible. After that is settled, we need to update the existing Lubuntu (LXDE) testcases in order to ensure that Lubuntu 16.04 releases very smoothly.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">So we have a list of testcases that need looking at on the blueprint page. The instructions are pretty clear, but to clarify:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">1. Select a testcase from the todo list</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">2. Make sure no outstanding bugs on the manual testcase LP page exist for the testcase, if they do, skip to step 4</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">3. Create a bug describing what needs to happen</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">4. Assign the bug to yourself and mark it as "In Progress"</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">5. Remove the item from the list</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">6. Link the bug report on the blueprint page</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">7. Complete the testcase and make a merge proposal</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">8. Mark the bug as Fix Committed</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">9. Work with the reviewer to make sure that it is ready to go, and the reviewer will mark the bug as Fix Released</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">10. In the blueprint whiteboard, by the example, put your name and bug number by the Completed section</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Also, this is for Package QA. If someone feels inclined to review ISO QA testcases as well, then by all means go ahead.</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">If anybody has any questions/comments/concerns, I'm tsimonq2 on Freenode or stop by #lubuntu-devel.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">[1] <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/lubuntu-next/+spec/lubuntu-testcases-xenial">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/lubuntu-next/+spec/lubuntu-testcases-xenial</a></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Have a nice day,</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Simon Quigley</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">tsimonq2@ubuntu.com</div></div>
