Alex, thanks for suggestion. The bug report is correct, I agree that pages shouldn't

But this change should be made in the theme, and not the content. If we change the content to do that, and then we add a new page, it will add the comments for that page.

I have to reject this change, but feel free to propose a merge to the theme that solves this issue.

Thanks!

111<content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>What’s ISO Testing?</strong>
112
113Ubuntu has a fixed 6-month release cycle, which means that every 6 months we have a new Ubuntu release, ready to install.
114
115The good thing about software fixed cycles is that you can schedule anything you want. In fact, for Ubuntu, we schedule just at the beginning of the cycle up to 7 development releases. You can check at the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule/">Lucid Schedule</a> that there was an Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, Beta1, Beta2 and Final Release. Those milestones need to be tested properly, because we release CDs for people to test on their hardware, and we have to make sure that everything is more or less OK. (with “more or less” I mean that these milestones are still software in development, so you have to be careful, anyway).
116
117<strong>How do we track milestone testing?</strong>
118
119So, here it is how the tracker appears in the show. Milestone releases happen normally on Thursdays. On Monday, in scheduled milestone weeks, testers start looking at the tracker looking for the candidate images: the ISOs that might be announced as the "Karmic Alpha something". But these images need to be tested before they get announced.
120
121<strong>How is the test tracker structured?</strong>
122
123At Ubuntu, we produce builds for many different *buntu flavours. In the ISO Tracker we have a category for each of them. You can filter by category using the "Filter" menu in the bottom left of the page. That would allow you to concentrate in the flavour you want to test.
124
125[caption id="attachment_124" align="alignnone" width="194" caption="Filter by category"]<img class="size-full wp-image-124" title="Filter" src="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/filter.png" alt="Filter by category" width="194" height="409" />[/caption]
126
127Once you select a category, you will be able to select an image to download for that category. A category like "Kubuntu" may have different images: i386 Live CD, amd64 alternate, etc., and all of them need to be tested before releasing a milestone.
128
129[caption id="attachment_127" align="alignnone" width="499" caption="Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 6 images"]<img class="size-full wp-image-127" title="Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 6" src="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/kubuntualpha6.png" alt="Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 6 images" width="499" height="340" />[/caption]
130
131If you click now in any of those images, you will have access to a direct link of the ISO to download and a selection of tests that you may run for that image. For every test, there is a link to the test case description in the <a href="http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com">test case wiki</a>. The test cases are easy to follow when running any of them.
132
133So, to sum up, every category contains a set of ISO images and every image contains at least one test case.
134
135[caption id="attachment_132" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Iso Tracker structure"]<img class="size-full wp-image-132" title="iso_tracker_diagram" src="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/iso_tracker_diagram.png" alt="Iso Tracker structure" width="500" height="353" />[/caption]
136
137<strong>How do I help?</strong>
138
139As I wrote before, the week of the release of a milestone we need a lot of help testing the candidate images. If we want full coverage we need to run more than 150 test cases. If you have a spare machine or a virtual machine installed, you can help making Ubuntu better by running the untested test cases during the week of the release of a milestone.
140
141First thing, you will need an account in the ISO tracker. Unfortunately, your Launchpad Open ID won't work for this site (indeed something that needs to be improved). Click on "Log in" and fill the requested data. As the page explains, if you already have an account in <a href="http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu Brainstorm</a>, you can use it for the <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com">ISO Testing Tracker</a>.
142
143[caption id="attachment_135" align="alignnone" width="499" caption="Create a QA account"]<img class="size-full wp-image-135" title="create_account" src="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/create_account.png" alt="Create a QA account" width="499" height="505" />[/caption]
144
145Once you have an account just select the image you want to test, choose a test case for that image, start running the installation in a virtual machine or a spare machine and report any bugs you may find in Launchpad.
146
147Once finished, you have to report back in the <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com">ISO Testing Tracker</a>. Click on the test case you have run and report Pass/Fail depending on your success. You can also add the bug numbers of the bugs you found. They will be linked to the Launchpad bug and it will help the release team to track them.
148
149[caption id="attachment_138" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Please, report back!"]<img class="size-full wp-image-138" title="submit" src="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/submit.png" alt="Please, report back!" width="500" height="585" />[/caption]

205<content:encoded><![CDATA[For every milestone of the development release of Ubuntu, we will be providing a series of testcases for you to run in that milestone. As soon as the milestone is officially released, you will be able to complete the tests in the following two weeks (although we encourage you to run them as soon as possible, to allow enough time to developers to fix the bugs).
206
207One of the good things about this program is that you, as testers, will be able to know every time what to test, you will be able to check the new features before anybody else, and you will gain experience on the Ubuntu development process. Also, there will be a mailing list to share your experiences, bugs and to have direct feedback from the developers.

220<h2 id="Testing Instructions">Testing Instructions</h2>
221Every milestone (see <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/DesktopTestingProgram#Calendar">Calendar</a>), we will be starting a new testing cycle. The tests will appear in the tracker and everybody is free to submit their results any time during the following two weeks. The following milestone a new cycle will start, and results will be fresh again.
222
223Every week, you will see the tracker (<a href="http://desktop.qa.ubuntu.com/">http://desktop.qa.ubuntu.com</a>) reset. You need to click on an application to see the list of testcases:

272<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>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.</h3>
273<h4>Open Projects</h4>
274If you want to start helping, these are the open testing projects:
275<ul>
276 <li><a href="http://qa.ubuntu.com/testing/desktop-testing-program/">Desktop Testing Program</a>. Test your favourite desktop applications and file useful bugs.</li>
277 <li><a href="http://qa.ubuntu.com/testing/iso-testing/">ISO Testing</a>. Every Ubuntu milestone needs to be tested to check that it installs correctly in every flavour and every installation option.</li>
278 <li><a href="http://qa.ubuntu.com/testing/multitouch-testing/">Multitouch Testing</a>. Do you have MT hardware? Help us testing it to make it work with Ubuntu!</li>
279</ul>
280<h4>Regular Activities</h4>
281Once you have started testing Ubuntu and know the basics, you can start with more regular activities, that require some commitment with the Ubuntu QA team.
282<ul>
283 <li><strong>Stable Release Update (SRU) Testing</strong></li>
284</ul>
285<p style="padding-left: 30px;">All <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates">stable release updates</a> are first uploaded to the <em>Proposed</em> repository before they are released live. An important principle behind Ubuntu is that we should never make a working system worse; stable release updates need to be extensively tested to make sure that there are no regressions.</p>
286<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If you are interested in this kind of testing, there is a public Launchpad <a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Esru-verification">SRU verification</a> team that you can join as well as a <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification">fantastic wiki page</a> with helpful tools for finding bugs to work on.</p>
287
288<ul>
289 <li><strong>General Testing</strong></li>
290</ul>
291<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Ubuntu is more than its default installation and basic tasks - it's an entire repository of software and possible configurations. We need to test as much of it as possible, and some things aren't well covered by established test cases and procedures. General testing is as simple as attempting to use the development release and reporting whatever problems you run into.</p>
292
293<ul>
294 <li><strong>Laptop Testing</strong></li>
295</ul>
296<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Laptop Testing is about the manual testing of specific things (<em>test cases</em>) mainly related to laptops hardware, using milestone releases of the development version (alphas, betas and release candidates). The goal is to get Ubuntu to work great on as many different makes and models of laptops as possible and this can be done knowing which hardware works straight off the install CD and which hardware needs configuring or is poorly supported.</p>
297<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If you are interested in this kind of testing, head to the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop</a> Wiki page.</p>
298
299<h4 id="Bugs">Bugs</h4>
300Any bugs found during testing should be filed in Launchpad. Please refer to <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs">ReportingBugs</a> and <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures">DebuggingProcedures</a> for guidance on filing useful bug reports. During validation testing we also check that previously fixed bugs on <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/FixesToVerify">Testing/FixesToVerify</a> are indeed fixed and have not resurfaced.
301
302It is especially important that Bugs found in the development release be <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream">upstreamed</a> so that their upstream authors can see them. Often we are using the latest, unmodified alpha code for various projects during the development release, so the odds of it being fixed are much greater if they can be reported to the upstream developers making the changes.]]></content:encoded>

341<content:encoded><![CDATA[As <a href="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/455">announced</a>, gestures with multitouch are landing in Maverick with the utouch stack. We need to fully test the MT environment with different hardware and also check if the changes have introduce any regressions in the X input system.
342
343If you have MT device we are looking forward to get your feedback. Even, if you have any input device (mouse, trackpad, tablet...) we are also gathering results for those, to track possible regressions.

420<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Ubuntu is a huge project and sometimes is difficult to get the right information for each situation. Luckily, there are a lot of reports that can help you finding what you're looking for.</h3>
421<h4><a href="http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ogasawara/weatherreport.html">Weather Report</a></h4>
422<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Weather Report is like the landing page for useful information about the development release. You can get the high and critical bugs, the differences between the latest ISOs and the archive, the uninstallable packages and much more information.</p>
423
424<h4><a href="http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/">Packages Status</a></h4>
425<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Package status pages are intended to help package maintainers, developers, and other interested parties measure the current state of a package. Selecting the package you are interested in, you will get bug statistics for that package, including graphs. This is a very interesting way to start working on a particular package.</p>
426
427<h4><a href="http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html">Pending SRU</a></h4>
428<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The list for <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates">Stable Release Updates</a> that require testing. These are bugs in the stable release that are candidates for getting fixed in -updates. The fixes need to be tested before they reach the major audience. Help us testing them!</p>
429
430<h4>Upgrade Automated Testing</h4>
431<p style="padding-left: 30px;">As you know, upgrades from one release to the next one is a very error-prone activity and it requires a lot of testing. Michael Vogt maintains some automated tests for upgrades:</p>
432
433<ul>
434 <li> <a href="http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing/current/">From release to release</a>: This report contains the results of automated testing of upgrades of different flavours between two releases.</li>
435 <li><a href="http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing/current-stable/">From stable to -updates</a>: This report contains the results of upgrading the stable release CD to the contents of the -updates repository.</li>
436</ul>
437<h4>Launchpad Data Reports</h4>
438<p style="padding-left: 30px;">We all know that Launchpad contains a lot of useful information. Some times we think that it has so much information we can hardly find anything useful. Untrue. There are a lot of useful reports based on Launchpad data that will help you finding the information you were looking for:<a href="http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/launchpad-database/bugs-with-branches.html"></a></p>

628<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Ubuntu is a huge project with millions of users. We have thousands of bugs that need processing, reproducing, sending upstream, etc. Triaging bugs is a great way to help Ubuntu.</h3>
629Bug triage is an essential part of Ubuntu's development.
630
631Triaging bugs consists of several things:
632<ul>
633 <li>Responding to new bugs as they are filed.</li>
634 <li>Ensuring that new bugs have all the necessary information.</li>
635 <li>Assigning bugs to the proper package.</li>
636 <li>Confirming bug reports by trying to reproduce them.</li>
637 <li>Setting the priority of bugs reports.</li>
638 <li>Searching for and marking duplicates in the bug tracking system.</li>
639 <li>Sending bugs to their upstream authors, when applicable.</li>
640 <li>Cross-referencing bugs from other distributions.</li>
641 <li>Expiring old bugs.</li>
642</ul>
643However, you don't need to do all of those things to help! Recreating a bug and setting the status to Confirmed is enough.
644
645Bug triage is an excellent way to start helping out. You get to learn a lot about Ubuntu, its available packages, its infrastructure, and you get a feel for the development pulse.
646
647You can learn how to triage bugs and chip in, just see the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage">Bugs/HowToTriage</a> page.
648<h4>Joining the team</h4>
649<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The people who work on triaging bugs in Ubuntu are called the Ubuntu <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad">BugSquad</a>. Check out the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved">BugSquad/GettingInvolved</a> page to learn how to join.</p>
650<p style="padding-left: 30px;">You can almost always find members of the Bug Squad in #ubuntu-bugs on the freenode <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC">IRC</a> server who will be happy to answer any questions you have.</p>
651
652<h4 id="Adopting a package">Adopting a package</h4>
653<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If you've got a keen interest in a particular source package, you can help out by adopting it. This means that you want to act as a liaison between Ubuntu and the people who wrote the package that we include in the distribution.</p>
654<p style="padding-left: 30px;">This involves developing a relationship with the people who work on this software: developers, users, and other members of the community. You can quickly become an expert by triaging bugs associated with this package and even fixing some of them.</p>
655<p style="padding-left: 30px;">You can learn more about doing this by consulting the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/AdoptPackage">BugSquad/AdoptPackage</a> page.</p>]]></content:encoded>

694<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>We try to automate as much as we can, and we have tools that help us in our mission. All of these tools and processes are released under a Free Software license, so you can start collaborating as soon as you want!</h3>
695<h4><strong>Checkbox</strong></h4>
696<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Checkbox is one of the main tools we use for testing automation. Basically, it is a test runner that can run any kind of tests: automated or manual, shell scripts or complex applications. It gathers all the information in a XML file that can be used to create reports. This is the tool that you have installed in your Ubuntu system under System-&gt;Administration-&gt;System Testing.</p>

699
700<h4><strong>Mago</strong></h4>
701<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Mago is a desktop testing initiative, built on top of the LDTP GUI testing framework (http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/), that aims to have a set of processes and code to make writing automated desktop test scripts easier and more reusable.</p>

705<h4><strong>Mvo’s automated upgrades</strong></h4>
706<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Michael Vogt maintains a set of daily upgrade tests to check if all the packages are upgrading. You can check the results online:</p>
707
708<ul>
709 <li>Ubuntu-&gt;Ubuntu+1 Upgrades: <a href="http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing/current/">http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing/current/</a></li>

711</ul>
712<strong>Ev’s automated installation tests</strong>
713<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Evan Dandrea, the maintainer of Ubiquity, the Ubuntu installer, is creating a set of scripts to automate the installation process. This is a work in progress, we will update this entry as soon as the work is published.</p>]]></content:encoded>
