TEAM: Wily Werewolf Package Testing

[David Pearson]

I'm also for new/extra methods of tracking/advising what to test for. 

As you say, a lot of what we test for 99 out of 100 times works great.  Due to this some of the testing we have become used to it just working, and may not see an error. For example, the bug in 15.04 where it didn't ask you to remove the install media. I my self missed this, as after the install, I immediately pressed restart and unplugged the USB, ready for the reboot and to start testing it the install.

The go forth and test this email, made me redo the test from scratch, and yep I say that particular bug mentioned above.

So I would welcome any additional prompts, even if its just to stop me from assuming that everything that has always workes, even as simple as a text prompt, still works.


Dave.

PS. I was also a winner of the stickers, and must say was like a little boy in a sweet shop when myhand written letter from Elizabeth arrived. Its not often you get a letter from a celebrity. 😁😁😁
