Although I dislike the Wikipedia page on the subject, Exploratory Testing is our preferred approach http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_testing . I can recommend this book strongly: http://pragprog.com/book/ehxta/explore-it > My interest is to get some experience in QA testing. > We have a number of ongoing software development efforts. You can see what we've been deploying recently here https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Software_deployments and there is a lot of general information at http://www.mediawiki.org. We have a wide range of possibilities for regression testing. We have two main shared test environments, and we do a significant amount of testing in production. We have automated browser tests you can see at https://github.com/wikimedia/qa-browsertests/tree/master/features. Our bug tracking system is at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org In order to contribute to testing, it would be helpful for you to do enough research on your own to be able to ask some specific questions. Thanks, -Chris
