All-sides Testing Report of Ubuntu-7.04 from BSTQC
Hi, all Maybe someone here also have interest with this. The same content has been sent to ubuntu-bugsquad. --Title-- Release of All-sides Testing Report of Ubuntu-7.04 --Release Notice-- Thanks for your attention. BSQTC( Beijing Software Testing & QA Center ) has released the All-sides Testing Report of Ubuntu-7.04. Our engineers did the reports by their really hard work. Every issue in the report had been checked by at least 3 engineers and different computers to ensure the recurrence. Every description of the issues had been carefully edited to make it easily to understand and recur. As a member of Ubuntu community , BSTQC would contribute all the resource we have. --How to read the report-- We put more information in our reports to make it easily for understanding and tracking issues. It's more accessible then the report of Ubuntu-6.10. In the report file "Ubuntu 7.04 Testing Report" there are testing entries one by one which covered user document, function, reliability, usability, maintenance, portability and Chinese characteristics. You can see Page-3 of "Ubuntu 7.04 Testing Report" for details. In report file "Ubuntu 7.04 Testing Report" there are different testing results of "Pass","Pass Partly", "n-a" and "Fail". "Pass" means the result was obviously correct according to the User Document or experience. "Pass Partly" means the main function was correct, but the subfunction had issues. "n-a" means this entry was NOT tested for reasons. "Fail" means the result was obviously different with the expected result according to User Document or experience. When you found "Pass Partly" or "Fail" entries in file "Ubuntu 7.04 Testing Report", you would also find some words llike "bug: 0010" or "bug:0007,0008,0009". The number is the ID of the bugs we processed in our Bug Tracking System. After you got the ID number of a bug ,you can find the description in another file "Ubuntu 7.04 defect report" which contains the detailed description of every bug. For example: When you found the words "bug:0007,0008,0009", it means there are three bugs in this entry. According to the number 0007,0008,0009,in another file "Ubuntu 7.04 defect report" there are three descriptions entries named by the complete tracking ID of "Ubt-704007""Ubt-704008""Ubt-704009". "Ubt-704" is the ID of testing project, so you can search the "Ubuntu 7.04 defect report" by the key word of "Ubt-704007" or just "007" to find the description of the bug-0007. Every bug has different Severity Level from 1(Fatal) to 5(Suggestion) , in the file we report: Severity-Level | Number of bugs Severity-1 |0 Severity-2 |30 Severity-3 |119 Severity-4 |235 Severity-5 |18 The detail of how we define the level at the part of "Defect Summary" in file "Ubuntu 7.04 defect report". We are still considering to improve our report format to make it easily for tracking bugs between "Testing report" and "Defect report". But unfortunately we could not report every bug one by one to the launchpad because of the resource limitation. We did the report based on the install CD of Ubuntu 7.04. Some of the bugs possible have been fixed in updates, please check them carefully. --Where to download the report-- You can download them from the directly URL : http://groups.google.com/group/bstqc/web/Ubuntu704ReportODT.tar.gz http://groups.google.com/group/bstqc/web/Ubuntu704ReportPDF.tar.gz Or ask me by sending me email with title "Asking for Ubuntu704 report" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We'll send you report with ODT format because PDF format is a little big so that some mailservers would possible filtrate it.

Re: Getting involved in Ubuntu development/testing...
Hi, The following will probably help you get started: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ It's also a good idea to be present in the IRC channels of the teams you want to work with (#ubuntu-motu for MOTU, #ubuntu-bugs for Bug Squad, #ubuntu-devel for general development; all on irc.freenode.net), where you can ask for help and mentoring on things you want to get involved in.

Getting involved in Ubuntu development/testing...
For the past several years, I have dabbled in Linux/GNU/open source/free software, starting in 1999 when I managed my first Linux install, which was Debian 2.0 (now THAT was dependency hell - no apt back then). Since then, I have always been partial to the "Debian way" of doing things, as compared to the world of RPMs or building everything from source. However, I have been frustrated by Debian's somewhat-slow pace of development, occasional hostility towards new users (both in the system sense and community sense), and the "free software or no software" mentality some have in the world-of-Debian. I do, however, greatly appreciate and respect the contributions the Debian Project has made - it's truly quite amazing for an all-volunteer project. Now, Ubuntu has taken the Debian base and added many things to it that I like - regular releases, support for hardware that doesn't have 100% Free drivers, ease of use, and a general friendliness towards new users in general. As such, I have been following Ubuntu since it first came out. However, though Ubuntu has done a great job overall, I still see many issues that need desperate attention - laptop support, iPod support, and ease of application installs/upgrades outside of distribution releases, to name a few. As a result, I have ended up flip-flopping between Ubuntu and Mac OS X - which I actually started using after I got sick of Windows and couldn't get ACPI going well in the very early days of Ubuntu. On OS X, however, I sorely miss the sense of community and the world of open source/free software from Ubuntu. Anyway, I am very interested in helping out with Ubuntu in any way I can. While I can't code C very well, I have extensive experience beta-testing software for a couple proprietary OS vendors. I also have a large amount of general experience, and have managed to do things as weird as putting the home partition on an HFS+ volume (to keep files in sync with OS X). Also, I have begun filing bugs in Launchpad for Ubuntu. However, I feel like I can do much more - as in many of these cases, I have pinpointed the source of the problem and feel that something could be done about it. Additionally, in using Ubuntu I have come up with many of my own ideas for improvements. Filing a bug in Launchpad, however, doesn't seem to result in much in any of these areas. How can I get involved? I've seen some things about the Bug Squad, the Laptop Testing Team, and Masters of the Universe, and I'm not exactly sure how it all works. In particular, I'm interested in helping report and fix bugs (though not in the raw, in-depth coding sense), possibly packaging some software (I noticed xcalib - a useful CLI tool for adjusting your color profile/gamma in X using a profile - isn't packaged), and helping identify issues with Ubuntu and possible solutions to them (such as the afore-mentioned iPod support). One issue of mine is that I am somewhat limited in my testing hardware - currently I have one system - a MacBook - and have waffled between running Ubuntu natively and on VMware in Mac OS (mostly due to power management issues). At the moment, I don't run Ubuntu full-time, but I hope things mature to the point where I feel I can do so without giving up anything. Furthermore, I want to help towards that goal. Comments, suggestions, etc welcome... I'm curious from hearing from Ubuntu developers on this.. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
