Fedora Quality Assurance

Activities

The Quality Assurance project is engaged in the following activities:

  • Testing of software as it is released into Rawhide, updates-testing, or as it appears in a supported public release.
  • Developing and executing QA/TestPlans to test important functionality in a systematic way, usually with multiple cooperating testers.
  • Developing and run QA/Tools, which use automation to find potential bugs.
  • QA/Test Days are occasionally held on IRC to coordinate focused testing on a specific feature or component.


Other quality-related activities are handled elsewhere:

  • BugZappers handle bug triage - they examine bugs reported by other people and resolve duplicates, incomplete reports, etc. BugZappers share the fedora-test-list mailing list with the QA Project.
  • PackageMaintainers fix bugs identified by the QA Project, with the help of upstream authors and patches proposed by testers.
  • Special Interest Group activities are interdisciplinary, involving everything from development to quality assurance.
