Introduction

The community testing team is a volunteer group that seeks:

to provide developers, users, and stakeholders with an up-to-date, publicly accessible, reliable assessment of how each product and service offered by OLPC meets the needs of those we are trying to serve,

to be advocates for transparency and community participation within the internal QA group and advocates for testability within the grassroots software, hardware, and content development teams,

and to constantly seek improvement in our outreach/education efforts, methods, tools, and processes in order to become an increasingly community-run effort.

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.

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, 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.
