Introductory email from a new member!
Hello everyone! The steps on the QA Team page says to send a small email to introduce myself, and I like following steps; isn't it what makes a great tester? :P My name is Jeremie and I'm a software engineer from Montreal, Canada, and to categorize my past QA work, I would say I've been intermittently touching the QA-side of software development (writing test scripts, writing automated tests, tracking/documenting/solving software bugs) as part of my day job projects. My plans to contribute to the Ubuntu QA Team is first to familiarize myself with QA at a much larger scale than what I'm used to, starting small by getting acquainted with the Tester role and eventually going up to Test Writer/Developer. Looking forward to log in IRC and get in touch with you guys/girls. Now, IRC, that's something I haven't touched in a long time... See ya! -Jeremie -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
Some congrats are in order
I just wanted to offer some congrats to Senan, who I believe has set a record for the longest MP to finally land. Senan started last October on a test for disk usage analyzer and I was able to merge the test today after many reviews and tweaks (26 revisions by my count)! Senan, your perseverance is amazing, and I think you've come a long way as a test author. Here's to your next MP. I trust it will come much sooner :-p I also wanted to mention Adam who has been hacking on the desktop tests as well and recently landed some merges of his own. He's been hacking on rhythmnbox and doing some interesting things with mocking, etc. Congrats on your first merge and here's to many more! Thomas as well as been hacking on some xubuntu autopilot tests and saw a merge of his own land recently too! Well done everyone!

Given your background, I think you would be an excellent candidate to help out with our automated test writing. Check out this page for more on the role: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/TestWriter As a means to understand the big picture, I recommend checking out a series of posts I just did on my blog. The first one gives you a really high level view on how QA works within ubuntu. http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2014/03/a-simple-look-at-testing-within-ubuntu.html If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to working with you!
