Ubuntu Wiki

Summary

• Bug Importance Guidelines
  • Brian Murray (bdmurray) is sending an e-mail to the ubuntu-devel mailing list requesting a discussion about setting bug Importance on a per-package basis instead of on a per-distribution basis.

• Iso Testing Bug report layout. While testing UME cgregan came up with a nice bug report template to write out reports. I am attempting to do the same thing for Iso testing. I think the polished our reports are the more the dev's will look to them. (As the QATeam I also feel we should lead the way hear too). Here is a Layout I've tried for the first time comments please. - davmor2

  • davmor2 is preparing a wiki page for collaboration on a template for the layout. See Testing/Bug-Report-Layout.

  • Usage of the term "Test Case" was brought up - see Testing/Cases.

• Bugs in backport packages. Which should the policy with those be? It is clearly written that those packages are unsupported. -- AraPulido

  • Backport packages are community supported.
  • The policy is to open a task against the backports project and then close any Ubuntu task once it's verified to only be in -backports.

• QA Liaison to Launchpad (LaserJock)

  • LaserJock has created a wiki page concerning this. See JordanMantha/QALiaison. This item has been moved to mailing list discussion.

• FAUMachine for installation testing (LaserJock)

  • FAUMachine was brought up as a potentially useful tool for automated testing.
• Items not on Agenda

  • A suggestion was made to improve inter-team linking (particularly on the wiki) between QA Team, BugSquad and Testing.

    • Jon Packard is adding an item to QATeam/RoadMap.

    • LaserJock has created a header for QA Team wiki subpages linking to BugSquad and Testing.

    • The QA Portal is now online at http://qa.ubuntu.com and should help with this.
