As Thorsten pointed out, we are NOT capable of covering the QA for our
product completely NOR are we able to extend QA to new features (no time
for writing new tests, etc.) We also know, that this is not because we
are lazy ...
As a matter of fact, many issues are reported by the community, at least
the critical ones which often promote to stoppers. IMO, we should
therefore promote the QA community, so there will be more volunteers
(who maybe also develop tests) and extend the time span between
feature/code freeze and the actual release date.

*Hi,
so far we have got reported almost 40 regression as stopper for 3.1
release, see query
http://tinyurl.com slash cgsm3y .
for 3.0 ( **http://tinyurl.com slash ahkosf ) we had 27 of these issues,
for 2.4 (**http://tinyurl.com slash c86n3u** ) we had 23.
we are obviously getting worse and I would like to know about the
reasons for this. They are too much issues for me to evaluate the root
cause for every single issue so I would like ask the project and qa
leads to do an analysis for the root causes and to come with suggestions
for avoiding them in the future.
additionally there might be other ideas or suggestions on how to detect
and fix those issues earlier in our release process.
From my perspective one reason for the high amount of regression is the
high amount of integrated child workspaces short before a feature
freeze. In the moment the ITeam (the QA representative) does the
nomination before feature freeze. As an immediate action (for the
upcoming 3.2 release) from my side I will limit this freedom until 4
weeks before feature freeze, in the last 4 weeks before feature freeze,
I or other members from the release status meeting will do the
nomination of the cws for the upcoming release or decide to postpone it
to the then coming release.
