IRC (Mozilla IRC Server): #qa

Welcome to the Mozilla QA Community Bug Day wiki!!

Join us on IRC any time to talk about QA at Mozilla.

Test Days are an excellent way to contribute to Mozilla's QA efforts. It doesn't matter if you've been involved with Mozilla for years or if this is your first step into our amazing open source community. Anyone can participate and be a valuable contributor. The exact area or topic for Bug Day will vary for each event. But the general idea is to work through some sort of bug list as a team.

Next Bug Day

TBD

As of April 2014:

Bug Triage days are generally Fridays. Bug Verification days are on Wednesday!

Join us in #testday and introduce yourself. In triaging, we go through newly reported bugs. For verification, we try to make sure that "fixed" bugs really are fixed. See you in #testday!

Future Bug Days

Please find future topics on the QMO events calendar

FAQ

Where do I start? Each Bug Day topic will have a specific focus. Instruction on what needs to be done should be included in the QMO Bug Day Event post:

The following documentation is good to become familiar with for anyone trying to work in Bugzilla projects:

Read Bug Writing Guidelines to learn how to write effective bug reports that lead to bug fixes.

Note: If you don't have the necessary rights to make a change to a bug, add a comment to the bug detailing what should be changed and why. You can also make this known in the #bugday channel, and one of the moderators or an experienced volunteer will assist you.

What to do next?

-When Asa changed his focus to marketing and spreadfirefox, a huge void in QA was left behind.  Mozilla QA would like to try to fill some of that void by reviving weekly community Bug Days.  I'll be in #qa every Tuesday from 12:00pm to 4:00pm Pacific Daylight Time to coordinate and guide your efforts in the bug topic of the week.  I'll be scheduling a guest Dev or QA member to join us each week as well.

-For those of you unfamiliar with Bug Days; a topic or area of focus is selected by the host. Then with all your help, we'll attempt to complete as much of the task as possible.  Bug Days is an excellent way to contribute to Mozilla's QA efforts.  It doesn't matter if you've been involved with Mozilla for years or if this is your first step into our amazing open source community. Anyone can participate and be a valuable contributor.

-*'''[http://wiki.mozilla.org/Talkback_Topcrash_Analysis Talkback Topcrash Analysis]''' - We'll be finding, creating and/or adjusting crash bugs so they appear on the Talkback Topcrash Reports.  We will focus on the current Bon Echo (Firefox 2) branch.  Hopefully we can identify some of the recent topcrashers and reproduce them so that developers can get them fixed soon.
-* Current Talkback Reports for the Bon Echo (Firefox 2) branch:
-** for current topcrashers on the Firefox 2 branch, you can go here: http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/reports/firefox/FF2x/index.html
-** for old topcrashers at the time of alpha 1 (3/21), check out http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/reports/firefox/FF2a1/index.html

+=== TBD ===
-Opening Day saw a large crowd in #qa. However, only a few community members joined in the Topic of the Day; Reproducing Crash Bugs, more specifically unconfirmed crash bug triage.  The rest of the room occupants were labeled "rubberneckers" watching all the crashes get handled.  stevee earned himself a t-shirt, from the [http://store.mozilla.org/ Mozilla Store], for his efforts confirming and duping  unconfirmed crash bugs. All and all, a decent beginning for the revival of Bug Days.
