* 12.04.1 Report

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ReleaseReports/PrecisePoint1TestingReport


=== What was done engineering wise? ===

Progress made on UTAH. Making the tool stable for more varied production
use.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release
as a whole? ===

Still working on the graphs, data is almost fully refreshed by now, we
are rerunning on the old builds to be able to see trends:
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/boot-speed

=== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ===

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/qa/qa-open-bugs-quantal.html
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/qa/qa-open-bugs.html

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items,
release wide concerns? ===

The release process as is is ineffective as it does not take into
account the testing efforts.

=== Team Status ===

Cheers,
Gema
