Self-introduction

[Steven Le Flohic]

Hello everyone,

I've just joined the Ubuntu QA team and thought that I would introduce 
myself. I'm Steven, from central Scotland, and I've been using Ubuntu on 
the desktop since 2004 (Warty Warthog). I thought that it was about time 
that I made some sort of contribution!


Looking at the Ubuntu QA process, I thought that manual image testing 
might be a good place to start, but I am open to suggestions.


I look forward to working with you.

Regards,

Steven

Takes doing simple, and going with the flow.

Which means that the small goal you can achieve today is more important 
than the big goal you can achieve tomorrow.

Although I am not making patches myself right now, there's a good guide 
about how to do that:



And if you want to practice, you can start with papercuts; which are 
fast to fix flaws:

It's fully possible to have a lucrative career in the area of software

applied to the area of software quality, by working in test automation
and tool writing. Python especially is a really valuable language to
know in order to be involved with the Ubuntu community in this area.

Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm for testing Ubuntu but if you
have a diploma in s/w development you should be able to build a more
lucrative career by developing s/w rather than testing it.

This is the perfect place for getting experience ins software, as you 
can get the work you wish.


In fact just happened to me that a couple days ago I realized that one 
of my mates in a Tantra course I took, with whom I have good 
relationship, works as the vice-president of an important multinational 
company related to software quality, and as president of the Association 
of Business and Professional Internet of Valencia.


He has asked me for a curriculum, and this is because what I have

My same history, and this saved me tons of time afterwards. It was like

forever.

You can be quite surprised about how much you learn being in Quality.

Just have a look at the Quality team roles, and choose whatever looks

Just a quick introduction...

[Alexander Fanelli]

Hi!
My name is Alex, and I am pleased to be participating in helping make 
Ubuntu the best OS It can be.
I'm probably one of the younger people here, however that shouldn't be 
too much of a problem :)
I come from a background of coding in the Microsoft .NET Framework, 
running Windows 8 on my laptop. and from there went to the MSDN where I 
tested and reported bugs in applications like Internet Explorer. Right 
about then I discovered Ubuntu, and after playing around for a bit, I 
decided to completely replace my current OS With Ubuntu, and never 
really looked back. I'm currently teaching myself to use Ubuntu on a 
daily basis, and I learn something new every day. So what do I plan to 
do? I'm one of those people who aren’t too technical, but still have the 
skills and knowledge available to dig deep into the OS to find things 
like bugs and design flaws. Essentially, I came to Ubuntu, began loving 
it, and It feels amazing to have the opportunity to make it better.


Thanks for your time

-Alex

Re: Introduction

[Istimsak Abdulbasir]

Great to meet you and nice to have you on board. That is one long
background ;-). I can relate. I became very intrigued by computers in 2004.
Most of the time, I used them for gaming purposes. Then I was taught how to
build them. I became hooked. Although, was never a programmer and did not
have the interest of becoming one, using Linux, specifically Ubuntu, might
just change that. One thing about Linux is its reliance on the community.
This is great opportunity to be part of something bigger then yourself.

Again, great to have you onboard.

Introduction

[sammykur]

Well I guess I will start with some of my background when i was a kid I 
had a commodore vic 20 and used to leave that thing plugged in for weeks 
at a time to get to see a ball bounce across the screen . (no tape deck) 
If I remember correctly the book that came with that thing was terrible 
all i can remember is programs written out and copying the text. When it 
didn’t get unplugged I would change the values of numbers and move 
things around within the programs and try to see the effects of each. I 
grew tired of not being able to save things and lost interest.


My next exposure to a computer was in math class in JR high they bought 
Apple II Ecomputers and the teacher had no clue what to do with them. We 
spentj ust a few days on them in a year one of the days he spent 
"teaching " the class how to turn them on. We were paired into groups of 
two and he would give each group instructions separately and then watch 
each person turn it on.Then we spent three days doing the hello world 
thing At the time I didnt realize how ignorant or lazy he was.


When i was in my 20's I purchased my first computer and used it for cad 
drafting ,word processing and things like that. I still remember having 
to order and put in a math coprocessor. It had windows 3.1 on it ,I 
really liked that OS. I thought when everyone was switching over to 95 
they were nuts. Seemed to me that they just put more whistles and bells 
on it and made it harder to use.


I really don’t remember what happened to that 386 but I really wasnt 
very enthused about computers from 95 till the last few years of XP. 
sometime around 2005-2006 my wife bought a dell and i never could get on 
it,so i went to rummage sales and would pick up computers off the side 
of the road and put together a P2 system from the parts i had found, ran 
XP on it. I was in love with the hardware end of computers from then on. 
There is a gov surplus store that sells computers near me ,sometimes I 
get the urge and just cant help myself $15 dollar coreduo why not even 
if there is not hard-drive.Ubuntu is great for checking them out as they 
are sold as is for parts. I am a computer packrat I built shelves in my 
computer room just to store the stuff. I have about 6 of any generic 
item you could name.,plus computers themselves.(not to mention a still 
sealed copy of windows 3.1 yea)


I was pretty happy with the hardware end of things but i still wasnt 
satisfied with just using programs, I always was tinkering with the OS 
in some way or doing something the average windows user had never 
thought about. silly things like changing the boot screen, using xplite 
and other programs to customize windows. did a little bit from the 
command prompt but really didn’t have the support resourse like terminal 
does (probably there if you seek them out) I usually broke my OS about 
once a month and still do usually beyond the point of no return or else 
it gets too cluttered up and i just start over.
I just love Ubuntu, wiped windows on day 2 after retrying it. I had 
tried it once before but kept the crutch and leaned on it more and more. 
This time it was an easier transition Ubuntu has become more user 
friendly (software canter helps a lot at first) for noobes and I found 
the forums.. I have had nothing but positive experiences in the forums. 
I put together my first bash script to install cuda on my system about a 
week ago(with lots of help,thanks everybody) and have been slowly adding 
to it so next time i reinstall i can just run it after install.



Sorry if this seems long winded but I thought the more you knew about me 
the better you might be able guide me to where i could do the most 
good.(I hope everyone else’s into isn’t just "hey hows it going just 
signed up")



I have gotten so much out of Ubuntu I thought it time to give back,

Howdy Hendrik!

I'm happy to hear you want to help make ubuntu better. As Charles
mentioned, starting out by running some tests is a good way to start. Check
out the tester roles page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester

If you are studying Computer Science, consider learning python. It's a
handy language to have to contribute in open source. You can help hack on
our automated tests or write tools. There's plenty of cool and interesting
things to get into.

Drop by on IRC or ping this list if you have questions, and follow us on
social media as well!

Re: Introduction

Hello Steven, wonderful to hear from you. First of all, congrats on your
degree! I'm sure you are quite happy to be done with school for the moment.

We are a collection of testers, test writers, bug triagers, hackers, and
generally cool people :-)

First things first I would recommend diving in and reading the roles page
on the wiki.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles

Since you likely have some programming background, consider learning about
autopilot (a testing tool in python) and contributing some automated tests.

Drop by on IRC or ping this list if you have questions, and follow us on
social media as well!
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Contact#Social_Media

I look forward to hacking on cool things and testing with you!

Hello,

My name is Steven Basart. I've been using Ubuntu for the past 3 years. I just 
recently upgraded my computer to a Dell Alienware with nvidia Optimus. I was 
able to install 13.10 on it successfully. I would like to make sure the same 
could be said for the upcoming 14.04. 

I haven't done any QA before but I am about to graduate with a B.S. In computer 
science so I believe I could help. 

Let me know what I can do to help and how this works. Hope my hardware doesn't 
pose any problems to QA. 

Ready and willing to help,
Steven

Welcome Monika! I'll just echo what the others have said about starting 
off by getting a development install of ubuntu going. Once you are 
setup, have a look at this page to see what all you can do to help:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester

After you've spent some time learning to be a tester you can explore 
some of the other roles and activities, 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/. Don't be afraid to try new things 
and ask questions! It's the best way to learn. Thanks for helping make 
ubuntu better!

Hello Monika,

Make sure you do enjoy quality. You can do anything from manual testing to
writing automated tests to verifying bugs.

Just make sure that you ask when you don't know something.

Doing it wrongly is not a problem, as long as you know the solution:)

My name is Ali (amjjawad is my username) and I am having many roles within
Ubuntu Communities - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad - but when it comes
to QA, I am the Head of Ubuntu GNOME QA Team and Ubuntu Quality Social
Media Administrator. I am glad that you have joined us so you can spread
the word of Ubuntu on your city/country and help us to make Ubuntu even
better :)

Because you don't have experience with testing, that makes you the best
candidate to test :)
Trust me, it is fun!

Please, head over: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam

Have a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/FAQ

Try to be familair with the basic stuff at the moment and if you have a

We do hope so as well :)

Thank you for joining and we are looking forward to have fun and enjoy
testing together!

We will have a very busy cycle and this one is going to be for an LTS

Welcome Jack!

You've already got a 14.04 install, so as you say, you are ready to go. 
Have a look at the roles page if you haven't to see what all you can do 
during the cycle.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester

For this cycle I am encouraging everyone on the team to install and run 
trusty all cycle long as there primary machine. Do exploratory testing, 
file and follow-up on bugs, etc.


All fun and exciting stuff! Looking forward to having you on the team.

Thanks for making ubuntu better!

Re: Introduction

[Nicholas Skaggs]

My client got ansy to hit send before I finished :-) I wanted to let you
know our main methods of writing automated testcases are using autopilot.
There are also tests written using autopkg and selenium is used for testing
web interactions of course. Some of these links might be helpful for you to
see the output of our testing efforts:

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/

That is the QA dashboard where many results are collated. You can see the
output of the autopilot tests we help write for the core apps for the
ubuntu touch platform there for instance:

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/saucy/touch/

We also have ubiquity and gtk desktop apps running, and the output of those
can be found here directly on jenkins:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Saucy/view/AutoPkgTest/job/saucy-adt-ubiquity/
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/autopilot-ubuntu-applications/

I'd encourage you to check out writing some autopilot tests and dive in on
core apps, ubiquity and desktop app efforts :-) We have lots of great
tutorials and videos as already mentioned in the other mail. Again, welcome!

Nicholas

Emma, welcome to ubuntu quality!
First things first, for more up to the minute details on what's going on,
check us out on our social media channels.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam#Social_Networks

I'm thrilled to see you already have a testing background and

First things first, are you running a development version of ubuntu? If
not, install one via a vm or on real hardware. It will let you contribute
tests and results easily.

You can check out more information about contributing testcases on this
wiki page. There are walkthroughs and video guides for contributing both
manual and automated testcases. We welcome your contributions to both!

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases

On the test results side, we have a couple trackers we utilize. One is for
images, called the iso tracker, and the other covers applications, called
the packages tracker. You can submit results to these trackers at any time.
Both feature a daily milestone with tests and packages or images to test.
In addition, every 2 weeks roughly during the cycle we as a team make it a
point to submit test results to these trackers (we call this cadence
testing). Obviously not everyone can test everyday, so we encourage you to
participate during these weeks. You can learn more about contributing an
iso or packages test result here:

Introduction

[Emma Keaveny]

Hi, my name is Emma.  I am currently a Team Leader in a Medical Device
Factory.  We deal with a lot of QA in regards ensuring procedures are
followed, all machinery are set to the correct parameters and trouble
shooting when various issues arise.  We use a variety of software such as
BPCS Lx (used for component and product traceability), Agile UI (used for
software documentation and control).

I am looking for experience in software testing.  I would like to get a
chance to write out test cases and execute them as well find defects and
report them.  I have been currently using Rallydev and Jira.  I am also
trying to get my head around Selenium but the best way to learn anything is
by doing, and this is what I would like to do.

If you guys can help in anyway I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time,

A new and eager Tester,

Emma

You can break down our work into contributing testcases, or 
contributing results for those testcases :-) For learning about 
contributing test results, testing a daily iso is a great first start 
for learning how to submit test results and use the QATracker. Follow 
the tutorial:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

From there, look at dedicating a machine (real or virtual!) to testing 
the development release. You can install and update your machine as 
saucy is developed, and you can use it for testing as we track 
packages throughout the cycle. We call this cadence testing and we're 
currently inbetween weeks. Each testing week is announced and has a 
different focus for an application for you to test.

Re: QATeam - Introduction

JR, welcome to the team! Let me provide you with some links to 
opportunities that exist.


You can break down our work into contributing testcases, or contributing 
results for those testcases :-)


For contributing testcases, since you have programming skills, check out 
this page: 
http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/cookbook/mobile/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/. 
Look interesting and cool? It's called autopilot and we could use more 
testcases written! Let me know if this interests you!


That said, it's not a bad idea to try contributing some test results 
first before diving into contributing testcases. For learning about 
contributing test results, testing a daily iso is a great first start 
for learning how to submit test results and use the QATracker. Follow 
the tutorial:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

I don't have any experience with any of this. I just
want to help out.

I figured this would be a good way to give back to Ubuntu.

I am also back in school, taking a course on Python.
Maybe doing this will help me learn the language faster.

Thanks,

Julian

Welcome to the QA team Martin. The day the Internet can digitize edible
food to be sent via email, is the day supermarkets are no more :-)

Hi Julian,

welcome to ubuntu-quality! Don't worry about lack of experience, we were
all new once and having new people around helps us fine-tune our wiki area
so you good people can find the information you need quickly. Nicholas will
furnish up a full list of links, but head over to the activities page which
has links to the tutorial / classroom sessions and an introduction to all
the various areas of testing that we carry out. ISO testing is a great way
to start as it covers the basics of bug reporting / verification,
installing using the manual test cases, use of zsync, virtual machines etc.
There is a lot to take on, so don't be afraid to ask questions! This helps
us to help those who follow you.

Regards,

Phill.

QA Team - Introduction

[Martin Saffron]

Hello,

I am Martin and, whilst I may have little experience of QA, I am 
particularly enthusiastic about contributing to my favourite operating 
system.


I have a computing degree and have an interest in technology that will 
probably only be sated when technologists crack a method for cooking 
food via broadband and emailing it directly to our stomachs.


Thanks,
Martin

Re: Introduction and Noobie question

Welcome Cecil! Sorry you ran into this trouble! I'll help get the proper 
instructions updated on the pages you've linked. Your correct autopilot 
should be installed from the ppa, else you'll end up with an older 
version that doesn't work for our needs :-)


Thanks!

Nicholas

A virtual machine is certainly enough. For development of new

should be all set :-)


OK, will do if Parallels works with Ubuntu 13.10.


Then check out here:

You can get your launchpad environment setup and then start on
some tests. I recommend doing a manual testcase first. Pick
something off the list of bugs, assign yourself to it and hack
away.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bugs?field.tag=todo

Here's the walkthrough for more help :-)

In video format as well with a bit more depth ;-)

You can get your launchpad environment setup and then start on some 
tests. I recommend doing a manual testcase first. Pick something off the 
list of bugs, assign yourself to it and hack away.


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bugs?field.tag=todo

Here's the walkthrough for more help :-)

In video format as well with a bit more depth ;-)

Thank you all for your welcome messages :)

I installed this morning a Ubuntu 13.04 within a virtual machine 
(cause at home I currently only have a macbook pro on which I 
installed Parallels to manage virtual machines).

Will this be enough to participate to the hackfest later on today?

Thanks,

Hi everyone!

A user of Ubuntu since its very first release, back in

My profesional experience includes QA, so I know how

I already joined the "Ubuntu Quality" team on launchpad.

I don't have much experience testing Linux packages,
but I'm willing to help.

I think I'm technical enough to participate to the
automated testcases (plus I would love to do more
Python! ;)).

I'll have a look at the todo list [1], and read more
about autopilot in the related Ubuntu QA web page [2].

A little introduction

[Pierre Equoy]

Hi everyone!

A user of Ubuntu since its very first release, back in 2004, I would like
to help making it better.

My profesional experience includes QA, so I know how important it is, and I
may be able to help well here!

I already joined the "Ubuntu Quality" team on launchpad.

I don't have much experience testing Linux packages, but I'm willing to
help.

I think I'm technical enough to participate to the automated testcases
(plus I would love to do more Python! ;)).

I'll have a look at the todo list [1], and read more about autopilot in the
related Ubuntu QA web page [2].

Cheers!

Re: introduction of myself

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Stephen, great to hear from you! At the moment we as a team are planning 
our work for the next few months @ vUDS:


https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-quality/2013-May/003710.html

Even if you missed the sessions, it would be helpful to review the notes 
and blueprints (and video!)


http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-s/group/topic-s-community-quality.html

This time of year we're planning for what and how we'll test over the 
next cycle and doing maintenance tasks and work to help us. So for 
example, now is the time we'll review our testcases, make a big effort 
to write new ones, and work on the qa dashboard.


The team wiki has a wealth of information and documentation on 
contributing testcases or test results.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities

At the moment, the only thing we as a team are actively testing is the 
daily iso's. It's not a bad idea to start there and learn about the 
qatracker and how to utilize it.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

From there you can explore writing manual and automated testcases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases

You'll note that there are video screencasts for all of this information 
on this youtube channel:

http://www.youtube.com/qualitybecomesyou

Finally, as the cycle continues, we'll start doing cadence testing and 
calls for testing which will have specific packages and instructions to 
test all the new "stuff" landing in saucy.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CallforTesting/Walkthrough

Whew! That might seem like a lot to digest, but take your time and ask 
questions! Please feel free to email me again if you get stuck anywhere. 
There's a group of folks usually on #ubuntu-quality on freenode -- freel 
free to drop by and say hello anytime.


Looking forward to working with you,

Nicholas

Hello Stephen, welcome aboard =)

In the QA team there a lot of things you can do, from writing manual testcases

actually work) to play with the more edge Ubuntu technologies, mir, ubuntu 
touch,
etc. So please check out this page:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities

And see what you would like to help us with, also in addition, don't forget to 
join
our channel #ubuntu-quality and say hello, we surely can help you to help us =)

Also don't forget to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingDevelopmentReleases it
has instructions to deploy the latest development Ubuntu version, which you
will probably need if you want to help us with testing.

I'll be looking forward for collaborating with you.

Hello Stephen, welcome aboard =)

In the QA team there a lot of things you can do, from writing manual testcases
(which are basically tutorials in how to use Ubuntu applications to check they
actually work) to play with the more edge Ubuntu technologies, mir, ubuntu 
touch,
etc. So please check out this page: 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities

My name is Jose and I heard about Ubuntu around early 2010. Later
changed my mind and decided that Xubuntu was the right flavor of

During those years I have been thinking on how to get involved and

Due to work and life I was not able to do it and I still have a busy

Although, I consider myself technically-oriented, I am not a developer

For now, I would like to help on testing since I have a laptop and

That said, do an ls of the folder your in. You should see a helloworld

Oleksander, welcome aboard! Since you spoke about automated
testing, here's some things that might be of interest to you
right now:

Tomorrow, we're hosting a hackfest where you can learn about
autopilot (an automated testing framework we use) and help
contribute testcases. Details are here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/Hackfest.

Here is the session we did at UDW yesterday on autopilot. It
explains and gives a good overview of what it is and how you
can use it. You can find the log here:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/01/30/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t18:00

Finally, I'd encourage you to have a look through the
mini-tutorial I did:

http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/11/getting-started-with-autopilot.html

http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/11/our-first-autopilot-testcase.html

http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2013/01/introspecting-with-autopilot.html

Whew, that's some reading for you! Please ask questions, and
don't be a stranger. There's other activities to get involved
with as well, but I'll try not to overwhelm you with
everything at once :-) Again, welcome!

Hello Team,

My name is Oleksandr and I come from Ukraine
I have worked as a technical writer and manual test engineer
for some time. For a little more that a year, I have been
involved into automated testing and would love to move one
with it.

Within the Ubuntu project, I would like to give a hand in
automated testing wherever it is needed. For myself, I would
like to learn much and develop in the automation field.

Re: New joiner introduction

[Олександр Гаврилюк]

Hello Team!
I have tried to mess with autopilot and ran into a small issue there. Could
anyone give a hand.

I get the following when trying to list the tests in helloworld or run them:

havryliuk@havryliuk:~/autopilot-walkthrough$ autopilot run
helloworld.test_hello.HelloWorld.test_type_hello_world
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/autopilot", line 258, in
main()
File "/usr/bin/autopilot", line 238, in main
run_tests(args)
File "/usr/bin/autopilot", line 160, in run_tests
test_suite = load_test_suite_from_name(args.suite)
File "/usr/bin/autopilot", line 205, in load_test_suite_from_name
package = __import__(top_level_pkg)
ImportError: No module named helloworld

Folder helloworld is there and I am executing these commands from the
autopilot-walkthrough folder

Thanks in advance
Oleksandr

Oleksander, welcome aboard! Since you spoke about automated testing, 
here's some things that might be of interest to you right now:


Tomorrow, we're hosting a hackfest where you can learn about autopilot 
(an automated testing framework we use) and help contribute testcases. 
Details are here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/Hackfest.

Here is the session we did at UDW yesterday on autopilot. It explains 
and gives a good overview of what it is and how you can use it. You can 
find the log here:

http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/01/30/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t18:00

Re: Introduction Email

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Dipan, happy to help!

The session is a text based session. If your not used to IRC, let me 
suggest just using a webclient. Here's a link that will take you into 
the chatroom. Simply login at the proper time and you'll be able to 
attend the sessions without worrying about getting a client setup.


http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=ubuntu-classroom%2C%20%23ubuntu-classroom-chat

Just choose a nickname and login. The session will happen in 
#ubuntu-classroom, and you can chat and ask questions in 
#ubuntu-classroom-chat.


If you ever just want to chat with other quality folks, you can join 
#ubuntu-quality:

There's many different opportunities available to

If your more interested in executing some testcases,
