SeaMonkey/QA: Difference between revisions

As we approach the release of [[SeaMonkey:First_Release|SeaMonkey 1.0]], we need to ensure that the suite is tip-top shape.  To make this possible, we need members of the SeaMonkey community to help with quality assurance by testing current builds to identify and report bugs, and help sorting out bugs that have already been filed.

In preparation for the release of SeaMonkey 1.0, we need as many testers as possible to download and use [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8.0/ recent nightly Gecko 1.8.0 branch builds]. Testers who wish to test the changes for SeaMonkey 1.1 should download and use [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8/ recent nightly Gecko 1.8 branch builds]. Testers who wish to test all the latest changes in preparation for the next major release of SeaMonkey (version 1.5) should download and use [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/ recent nightly trunk builds].  Also, please enable the [http://www.mozilla.org/quality/qfa.html Talkback Quality Feedback Agent] to send information back to developers so they can fix crash bugs. (Note: Talkback is currently working only for trunk builds.)  If you find a problem, check [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Bugzilla] to see if your [http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/beginning-duplicate-finding.html bug has already been reported], and (if not) [http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html file a new bug] in the "Mozilla Application Suite" or "Core" Products (see below).  We are particularly interested in regressions (bugs which did not exist in Mozilla 1.7, and bugs in recent trunk builds that do not exist in SeaMonkey 1.0), so mark these bugs with the ''regression'' keyword to bring them to developers' attention.
