The community testing team is a volunteer group that seeks:
* 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.
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,
* 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.
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.

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.

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, want to run a [[Test cases 8.2.0 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.
