Testing teams

The Activities on the XO have been developed by community members. Many of them are not well documented and there may not be much information on how to use them; so this testing can be described as 'Descriptive Testing', where you are helping to provide and/or correct the wiki pages that describe how an activity works. If you want to help, please refer to the Community Testing page for more details.

Also, the developers ask advanced users to try early builds with new features, see Friends in testing.
