Subject: Focused ISO Testing on Thursday's
To: ubuntu-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


 Greetings everyone -- the QA team is continuing it's focus on quality this
cycle. With that in mind, from now until the end of the cycle we're going
to take each Thursday until release and run the latest iso on our machines;
reporting the results via the iso tracker. Additionally, once we run thru
the installation tests, we'll be undertaking the manual application tests
to test our default software stack for ubuntu across our machines. Now, if
Thursday isn't a good day for you, take a day a week that does work for you
and sync the daily iso and test. Please, please be sure and report your
results to the iso tracker. If you test without reporting, the bugs have no
potential of being fixed :-( If you find a critical bug, it doesn't hurt to
also alert folks via IRC / launchpad / mailing list. I know some of you
have already been testing; thanks for your efforts!

Perhaps some of you haven't done iso testing before. Never fear! The
process is documented here:

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

As part of the process you will be looking for bugs while testing. If you
find one, you should check this list first to see if it has already been
reported.

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/qa/qa-open-bugs.html#

If not, go ahead and utilize ubuntu-bug to file the bug as usual.

The second part of the testing can occur after your successful iso testing
is completed. You will need to follow the process documented here to run
the checkbox manual application tests:

http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/RunningCheckboxTestCases

In short;

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nskaggs/checkbox-app-testing
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install checkbox-app-testing
Open the dash and type 'Application Testing' and press enter to launch.

The QA team is available to help out in the #ubuntu-testing on freenode.
Plenty of opportunities to get help if you need it so don't be afraid to
try doing the testing. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have
any issues with running the tests. Also, remember you can always improve
the tests, wiki instructions, etc -- nothing is ever perfect. If you see
something amiss, let me know and I can help fix it. Thanks, and happy
testing to everyone!

Nicholas
