D Akhila, glad it was helpful to you. In order to login, head to 
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ and click the login button on the left. You 
won't have access to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/user

after logging in, but you will be able to add and remove results :-)

Thanks,

Hello Nicholas,

I found your video more useful and informative than

I'm totally new to ISO testing and hence, it was imperative on my part

the video either. Thanks for posting it.


And, I'm denied access to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/user
Any help anyone there?

Excellent instructions for a new tester using VM installs.. You have done
well.

Two things: A: thanks for pointing out TestDrive. Last time I tried it 
it only worked with KVM and was full of problems.  Looks like it works 
with VirtualBox now, which is my preferred virtualization platform for 
desktop systems.  YAY! I'll have to give TestDrive a shot again :)


More importantly, as Fabio says, speak more slowly.  I do voiceovers 
from time to time, and one thing I find that helps is to work on 
enunciation drills before I start recording a voiceover.  Slow down a 
bit, and remember to enunciate more clearly.  I am a native speaker 
(but have hearing damage) and I had trouble understanding some words 
here and there.


Another suggestion, you may want to break that down into separate 
videos, and if you're going to host them on YouTube or something, put 
them in a playlist.  Most people dont have attention spans to watch a 
nearly 30 minute YouTube video.


Also, the content may be more useful to more people broken down if 
they can easily access the parts they really need... for example, some 
may not care about the test part, but be interested in getting/using 
TestDrive.


Others may not care about TestDrive, but may want a walkthough of 
doing actual ISO testing.


Anyway, it's a good video, what did you use for the desktop capture?

Cheers,

Jeff




Thanks for the feedback! With your suggestions in mind, I'll do a second 
video demonstrating merely how to use the qatracker. This should come in 
at 5 mins or less -- should be a watchable amount of time. We can then 
add more videos that cover additional topics and keep them smaller. I'll 
also speak more slowly, and in general, the lag issues should be fixed.


Also, to those who mentioned improvements to the walkthroughs (text 
versions), I have updated those as well. Iterate, iterate! Remember next 
week we'll be doing iso testing again. Our goal is to get make sure all 
the mandatory testcases pass on the ubuntu isos. We have a whole week 
and an excellent group of people to do it. Consider running through a 
testcase next week on a iso. Hopefully you have all the information 
needed now to succeed. If not, let me know :-) We'll get you squared away.\


Ohh, for software I was using ubuntu quantal, kazam for recording, and 
flowblade for editing. I really recommend flowblade, I enjoyed using it 
very much! BTW, kazam recorded in 1440p just fine, but the pc I was 
using couldn't handle it and the VM I think. That caused all the A/V lag 
I think :-)

Hallo Nicholas, well done, the only thing that I've to tell you is to
speak a little bit slowly because not american peoples can have
difficult understanding the words you are telling.
Thanks
Fabio
