Introduction
Note: This is a strawman draft under discussion on the testing mailing list.
- We are a volunteer community group.
- We test OLPC products and advocate bugfixes on behalf of stakeholders.
- We are transparent about our processes and our results.
- We seek to learn and try new things and to teach others what we know.
- We ask forgiveness, not permission; we value rough consensus, passing tests, and coverage.
Current goal
All G1G1-2008 Activities tested by Dec. 25, 2008.
Longer-term plan: this will enable us to stress-test a good community testing participation framework so that we can recruit Lots Of New Volunteers starting in January - "please help!" pages are only useful inasmuch as there are people, groups, and tasks standing by to welcome newcomers and help them get started.
Meetings and mailing lists
The best place to go to join community testing conversations is the Testing mailing list, which is also mirrored on an external forum.
We meet weekly on IRC. See Community testing meetings for more details.
How you can help
We welcome everyone to the community test group regardless of background, experience, or how much free time you have available; there are tasks for a broad range of skill and commitment levels, and if you don't yet know how to do something for a task you want to take on, we'll work with you to find a way to learn. Check out our #Current goal to find what we are focusing on now.
Whether you're looking for a quick smoke test you can run and report in less than 45 minutes, have an hour to spend testing an Activity, want to run a test case on the latest build and report results, can spend an afternoon helping us create test cases, want to work on testing tools or automated testing, or are searching for a potential research or student class project, you'll find it here.
