I don't have much knowledge about coding but I have experience about exploratory and manual testing. I am contributing in Mozilla in QA and I want to work in ubuntu too in Qualtiy and testing. So please suggest me how and where to start. I have joined IRC too but didn't get any satisfactory solution. </div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Hi Deepanshu, As you've posted to the Xubuntu list - I'll give you some specific information. All of our testing gets reported on the Ubuntu trackers - there are 2 that we use, 1 for images and 1 for packages. To do more than read the tests you will need to be able to login to the tracker(s) Our package tests are collated at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/316/builds/67147/testcases">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/316/builds/67147/testcases</a> That shows you 2 groups of Optional tests - and four other package groups - Suite A to D. We are more interested in results for the latter 4 than the optional, though any test is better than none. Using the Menulibre testcase as an example - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/316/builds/67147/testcases/1638/results">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/316/builds/67147/testcases/1638/results</a> <blockquote> Once at that page you will see Link to the installation instructions and Detailed information on the testcase - you can ignore both of those. Below those you can see Testcase, click that and you will then see the testcase we want performed for Menulibre. Run through that - either in an installed system or in a vm and then report your result at the bottom. You can either mark the test as Failed - in which case you must link at least one bug, and for it to fail it would need to be a critical bug. Passed - this can have a bug associated or not. In progress - self -explanatory, you can return later to change status to Failed or Passed. </blockquote> Image testing is collated at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker</a>, currently we aqre testing Utopic Dailies - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds</a> Filtering on the left pane to Xubuntu will leave you with 3 Products, Xubuntu Core, Xubuntu Desktop amd64 and Xubuntu Desktop i386. Ignore the Xubuntu Core product, that will be the topic of a mail to the dev list in a short while. Using either the 64 or 32 bit options left you will find 5 tests we ask people to test on images, 3 relate to actually installing - entire disk, autoresize and manual partitioning - each of those has a testcase associated with it in the same way as package testcases do - read the testcase - do what it asks - report your result. The Live Session test can be undertaken while you are completing one of the 3 install tests, or if you wish as a stand-alone test. All of these testcases can be done on a virtual machine, but if you are intending to do the auto-resize test you MUST have both an existing AND sufficient disk space for the recommended disk size. The final image testcase, Post-Install, obviously requires you to have an installed system to test.
