Now, the majority of the applications used for the metas don't mean a great deal to me. I think I've got the bulk of them using apt-cache show and synaptic ;) but I am in no doubt that things will be missing, there that don't need to be. You get the picture. What I'd really like is for people to check the wiki [1] I created for a few things. 1 - do apps with testcase bug missing NEED one - if so please create a suitable bug ( a link to the right place is on the wiki) 2 - if there is an app on the list - that DOESN'T need a testcase - please remove it from the list 3 - do apps that have a bug - NEED one - if they don't please mark the bug INVALID - if you can't then let me know Next - we'll need to try and set some sort of priority for them all. I can't do that. Writing testcases This is the crux of the issue, we can create all the lists we want, we can create the tracker - but without the testcases that is all completely pointless. What I would like to know is who can help to write them, they aren't particularly complicated to write - but they do need a knowledge of the application - I could write a testcase for each one in an hour or so - but all you'd be checking is does it start - does it close :) So - if you'd like to get involved with pushing this forward - and, like me have always wondered how you can contribute as you're not a coder, then now is your chance. It will be a fair bit of work to get them written - but it can be done. If that is you, reply to this mail and we can make a start. If there is a need to do so I can run a quick IRC session on the basics of what you'll need to know. Any questions feel free to ask.

But as I am pretty new to doing music stuff with Linux, I hope to use the exercise of doing test cases to get to know the Ubuntu Studio applications. This will be combined with a bit of bug triaging, which also helps to identify use cases that could be test cases (some bug reporters also have unusual use cases which will be ignored for now ;-) ). As a first step I have added Audacious to the list of Test Cases. I found a bug requesting a test case, which is "Fix Released", but it does not appear in the qatracker yet. The bug pointed me to the relevant lp branch for the test suite, and I was able to work through it. I would like to expand the test suite with two more test cases (playing a midi file & playing a CD). So I suppose I should submit a new bug against ubuntu-manual-tests asking for the extra test cases, and then I could merge the existing one to my own branch & begin working on it?
