Hi all, I have just realized I sent yesterday's email without having introduced myself to the ubuntu-qa team, my bad.
I am a QA Engineer and in August I joined the QA Platform Team at Canonical. I love being part of this initiative to improve the quality of Ubuntu and I am looking forward to collaborating with all of you. Regarding my experience as QA Engineer, I worked for years at Symbian/Nokia first as a Test Integration Engineer, later as a System Test Engineer. Later I worked for VMware also as QA Automation Engineer. My main aim at those companies has been test automation, which I am passionate about (but only when it makes sense, automation is very expensive!). You can have a look at the QA Team strategy here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/Strategy During this cycle we are going to be making ISOs stable and reliable so that further and more rewarding testing is possible during the whole cycle. We are also piloting a tool called litmus, for test case management, we'll let you know when it is ready to be used. We'll also be putting together some metrics so that we can measure how good is our automated testing going forward and so that we can add test cases where they are needed the most. If you like testing and you are a programmer, you may want to get in touch with us. If you have a bunch of test cases you think are good and help you find plenty of defects each cycle, you can send them to the list and we can discuss whether it is worth automating them and how to proceed. We have established a definition of test case that we should all use from now on when writing test cases (either automated or manual): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase Any questions please send them here so that we can all learn from them.
