== Fedora Quality Assurance ==
== Fedora Quality Assurance ==


Fedora is a rapidly progressing distribution and collection of free software.
== Activities ==


We have detailed quality assurance procedures to help maintain a cutting edge, innovating and a robust platform which consist of people like you and me around the world.  
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
* [[ BugZappers | Review ]] and act as bridge between users and developers that aids in fixing and closing bugs
* Developing and executing [[QA/TestPlans | test plans ]] to test important functionality in a systematic way, usually with multiple cooperating testers.
* Developing and run [[QA/Tools| tools]], which use automation to find potential bugs.
* The QA team works with developers and [[ReleaseEngineering|release engineers]] to maintain the [[QA/ReleaseCriteria|release criteria]], which are used to determine what bugs count as release blockers.


What we do can be broken down to 3 categories.
