QA Meeting 2008-06-12

Dicussed:

• How to get the new QA team up to speed on things that they don't know about yet
• Decide who/what/how the team will be testing for the upcoming August release
• Community testing
• Training - Getting new volunteers/interns/employees up to speed in a technical sense
  • Ensuring knowledge isn't lost when interns/volunteers change
• More interns/temps?
• Defined release criteria.
• Process? (OLPC-3)
  • Release notes w/ build and firmware (for consistency in testing)
  • Bugs fixed + features added
  • Release manager moves bugfixes and features to QA (test) stream
• Trac
  • Who is responsible for closing bugs?
  • Workflow
    • QA closes bugs, devs resolved them.
• Test Environment
  • Alpha test (real use cases)
    • Home
    • School
  • Specific AP(s)
  • 100 laptop testbed
• Background tasks for QA for when there isn't a specific task needing to be finished at the moment
  • Test 8.1.1 thoroughly
  • (Create) test cases
  • Smoketests on new builds
  • Test case management (possibly done on Trac?)
  • Wiki links -- so people new to testing can get themselves up to speed quickly, and without large amounts of one-to-one help.
