Hi Jeff, Thank you for your immediate response. I did go through the links ,you attached. But still its confusing Where & How to start exploratory testing. If you can give me a quick introduction , I can start right off. We are on West coast of US. We are on Pacific standard time. If I can set up some time with you Or Chris,it will be helpful.Just to show some screen shots & what toook for & how to start finding and reporting bugs? Thanks, Shobana

Also, as Anjana mentioned, you might want to join the #wikimedia-qa IRC channel - quite a few of us who do QA work for the WMF hang out there, so we can try to answer your questions as you work through some of your first tests!

I had some basic questions like: What is mediawiki and how to start to contribute in testing, what are mediawiki extensions etc,.The usual newbie questions. As i am interested in exploratory testing, Zeljko suggested that Visual Editor would be a good place for me to start.He explained where the source is kept, how bugs are filed, The test environments used and many other basic stuff. He also shared his screen to show how to edit an article on beta. Thanks to Chris McMahon, all these details can now be found on the QA page ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Quality_assurance). Another thing that I was struggling with was the IRC. I was using #mediawiki channel and wondering why I was the only person there. Zeljko corrected me and said the channel was #wikimedia :). Pairing with Zeljko has given me direction and now I at least know where to look on wiki :). Thanks Zeljko.

I would like to convert InezK's Java Selenium tests for VE to cucumber. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Planning_and_testing#QA_tests I was traveling last week so I did not have the time to write reports from pairing sessions with S Page and Anjana Ranganathan. S and I were working on converting a Selenium test from Java to Ruby. I could not find the commit in Gerrit. S, did you push the commit? Can you write a few words about the pairing session? Anjana and I have been talking about how to get involved in testing MediaWiki. Unfortunately, I do not have any notes. Anjana, can you write a few words about the pairing session? Pairing sessions continue next Friday. Three people are interested (so far). I will try to pair with all of them (separately) next Friday. Let's see how it goes.
