This page describes a systematic testing effort designed to achieve test coverage sufficient to make a release decision for the 8.2.0 release.

It consists of several basic tasks:

Review the 8.2.0 Test Plan.
Write test cases, if needed.
Execute the test cases and record results (go to "Edit with form" and use the 'Add Another' button within the test case).
If you are a software developer, you can contribute patches to the Tinderbox.
