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.
