Ubuntu Wiki

The UbuntuQA team is not the Quality Assurance (QA) team for Ubuntu.

The real QA team is the Ubuntu BugSquad.

Rather, it's the team of people who can change the [:Bugs/Importance] and Milestone fields for any Ubuntu bug. You do this when you are [:Bugs/HowToTriage:triaging].

Requirements for joining

You need to show three things:

1. You promise to be polite to bug reporters, even if they don't deserve it. Even if they are rude to you, you have to respond gracefully and not take it personally.
2. You need to know [:Bugs/HowToTriage] and have read the [:Bugs/Importance] page. There's a particular procedure for triaging and Importance has a specific meaning, so we want to make sure you know the conventions.
3. Have a list of triaged bugs that demonstrate you understand triaging.

In order to join:

• sign up: with the BugSquad.
