Ubuntu Quality

The Ubuntu Quality team is focused on developing and maintaining the policies and practices for ensuring Ubuntu's quality as a distribution as well as providing general advice, oversight, and leadership of QA community and its activities within the Ubuntu project.

Getting Involved

You can get involved with the Ubuntu Quality team in several ways. To help you figure out what you can do to help us, we have split the tasks in several roles:

Next Steps

After you've found out the area(s) where you want to help us with, we recommend subscribing to the Ubuntu Quality mailing list. Announcements and coordination for testing will occur on this list.

Also consider stopping by on IRC and saying hello in realtime! We hang out in the #ubuntu-quality IRC channel on the Freenode IRC network.

There are a few tutorials to get you started:

• For testers: Setting up a development/testing installation

• For people who plan to contribute to things maintained in Bzr branches (testcases and code): Setting up development tools and Working with Bzr branches and Launchpad

Additionally, if you need more information or guidance on getting started, you can ask for help both in the mailing list and the IRC channel.
