Hi guys,

*<NEWS>*
*A note for all of you who tried to test the daily iso's today. Due to an
error in the archive, we couldn't build the daily iso's. I added a warning
to the top of the isotracker, and will attempt to update the notice board
when this occurs going forward. Should this happen again the information
should be more easily communicated to those that need it.*

Rather more important stuff than a failed daily, please do have a good read
of what is going on.....

Even though these cases are not *Lubuntu* can you please try them out. It
is as much for the "look and feel" of the new system, where it says "do
this", "expect this"; that we are interested in. We have included all
variants.

As it is you guys, I've been given the extra okay for you to have look at
http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/224/builds/16281/testcases
as
it also covers non 'main' Live running. Go have a play, you cannot file
bugs, but can get a sense of what it is like.

Regards,

Phill.
P.S. Humph, and people talk about 'top posting", most of this should be at
the bottom !!!! LOL :D

Subject: The new isotracker
To: ubuntu-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 As some of you noticed this week while testing out the iso's in
preparation for Alpha 2 next week, the isotracker got updated. I promised
more information about the changes after they landed, so here's a sampling
for everyone to take a look at. At this time, the Ubuntu Desktop amd64+mac
in Quantal Daily and the Ubuntu Desktop powerpc in Quantal Daily builds are
sporting the new integrated testcases features. Have a look at these pages
to get a visual of what I mean:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/17487/testcases
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/17489/testcases

Looks exactly the same at first glance, but click on a testcase and the
look is different than before. For example,
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/17489/testcases/1301/results.
At the top of the page we have 3 links now:

Link to the download information
Detailed information on the testcase
Link to bug reporting instructions

The 'Link to the download information' remains the same and contains the
download links for the iso. The second link 'Detailed information on the
testcase' allows you to see a history of changes to this testcase (yep,
we're keeping track for consistencies sake!). Finally the 'Link to bug
reporting instructions' gives you information on how to report bugs found
in the testcase.

Ahh yes, you'll notice the testcase is now inline on the page and no longer
a link to click off to the wiki. There's a few more surprises as well. If
your not logged in, you'll be reminded that in order to submit a result a
login is required. And of course, if you are logged in, a handy "submit
your result" link is present. Finally, the submission form itself has a
small visual update that likely hasn't gone un-noticed by those of you who
use the tracker often.

So what's next? Well, the goal now is to get all the testcases migrated
into the tracker and off of the wiki. Next, we'll be migrating the manual
application testcases out of checkbox and into a new package tracker for
application testing.  Then, we'll have consolidated our testcases to one
place and be able to manage and re-use them! Whew! (For those of you
willing to help, I'll send requests to out once everything is ready)

In the meantime, please file any feedback or bugs to the ubuntu-qa website.
Thoughts on the new layout, ideas for improvement, etc. All are welcome. Or
simply respond to this email.

Happy Testing,

Nicholas
