Testing
The Testing Team
The Ubuntu Testing Team seeks to improve Ubuntu through structured and exploratory testing of packages and ISO images. We aim to detect as many bugs and issues as possible before CDs are released to the general public.
The list of activities that we perform is wide and you can see a summary in our list of activities.
Why a testing team?
We cannot leave quality to good luck. We cannot rely in having millions of users who will find bugs as they use the applications. Our users want to use the software, not to find bugs and report them. FOSS projects in general and Ubuntu in particular need a new way of rethinking testing as a skilled activity (communication skills, technical writing skills, software architecture knowledge, a critical mindset...) and an opportunity to contribute to the project.
