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

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! Nicholas -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
Re: New member
Welcome to QA :D 2013/11/13 Nicholas Skaggs nicholas.ska...@canonical.com Stefano, welcome! I'd recommend having a read over https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester There is more to do than just image testing and that page should help set you up. If it's missing anything, just fire back a question and we'll answer it and get it documented :-) In short, you can test applications on the desktop and the phone as well as work on doing bug triaging and hardware testing. If you have a phablet device, do check out ubuntu touch. If not, the desktop is always looking for a few good eyes to test things! In addition, we have vUDS coming up next week, with lots of topics to discuss. I hope you can join us! Check out the community track for lots of quality related sessions. http://uds.ubuntu.com Nicholas On 11/13/2013 05:44 AM, Stefano Negro wrote: Hi all, I am an italian member, I use ubuntu since many years and I would like to help the QA team.

Welcome to the team! * Packages are imported from Debian unstable, and for six months we fix as much bugs as possible for every individual package* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule. * We use the advance search feature in Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?advanced=1 for figuring out which bugs are interesting for us to fix first. * We also have a project that works in papercuts https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/What%20a%20papercut%20is and, although is being grown at this time, it's the best place to begin getting involved.

Shubham, welcome to the team! Wonderful to have you. We like new people and new faces :-) For all the ways you can help now that you've got an install have a look at this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester#Activities I trust it will answer a few of your questions. Trusty is still early in development, but it's never too early to start testing. Thanks!

A very good evening and Happy Diwali (festival of lights) to all from Bhopal, India! Myself Shubham Rao, 14 years, student of 9th grade. I am fairly new to QA but not to Ubuntu. I've been running it from the 11.10 release. My experience with Ubuntu has been great, and I've been recommending to all my friends, always advocating its (many fabulous) advantages over its (slight) disadvantages. There's not much adoption of Ubuntu here in my city (the only people running it are considered too techie) and I want to change this from the next release itself. I want Ubuntu so popular that it should speak for itself and there should be no need of advocating it. I want trusty to be a super dooper hit among people and I know that to make it successful, the only people who can do this are the people who assure Quality!! Okay now enough of Visionary talk, here what I've done: Installed trusty-desktop-amd64.iso on VM Ready to go!! Hope we have a great testing time On a lighter note, coincidently, Trusty Tahr gonna get launched on my birth date!!! so much is at stake for me.

Hello All, My name is Richard Hsu. I reside in Toronto, Canada and work for a US financial services company. Day job: Troubleshoot in-house applications and provide support to users. Technologies: Sybase, Ab Initio (ETL tool), Ksh, Perl, Autosys all on Red Hat Linux and C# desktop app on Windows. Past: Visual Basic 6 and C# (Windows Forms and ASP.NET) programmer with Microsoft Sql Server and Access databases. Personal 5 year project: python programming, switch home systems to Mac OS X or Ubuntu (currently on Windows dual boot occasionally into Ubuntu). Why join Ubuntu QA? I have benefitted from others on the internet so decided to give back. I believe Ubuntu has a bright future and want to help make it better. Will start contributing with automated tests and take it from there. -- Richard. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
Re: New member
We 3 automated tests! Wonderful to hear from you Richard. We would love help on any of the automated test projects we have going on. There is some really cool work going on. Do check out the test writer page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/TestWriter The official documentation for autopilot including tutorial is here: http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/. There's a quick tutorial for a qml app too: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/quality/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/. Finally, there's a video as well of writing tests for a couple of qml apps -- it's quite long, but covers everything from checking out the code to submitting the merge :-): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD_e_xqlBbg Mostly, I would encourage you to pick a test or project to contribute to and dive in! Ask questions and we'll help. Getting your first merge proposal in is a wonderful feeling, and we're happy to help you do so. Feel free to show up on IRC at get realtime help as well. We're in #ubuntu-quality on freenode. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-quality Thanks for wanting to help and welcome!
