Fedora Quality Assurance

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 typically held on Thursdays to coordinate focused testing on a specific feature or component.
The QA team works with developers and release engineers to maintain the Release Criteria, which are used to determine what bugs count as release blockers.

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.

Meetings are held Wednesdays at 1600UTC.

The Meetings are open for everyone to attend and participate in.

General info on QA meetings such as topics for next meeting along with previous meetings can be found here.

The QA team would like to thank you for taking your time to reading about the QA project.
