Hi Shobana -<br>
<br>
This page is a good place to start:
<a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing/How_to_contribute" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing/How_to_contribute</a><br>
<br>
That provides an introduction to Cucumber and associated
technologies that are being used by the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)
to automate test cases at a "black box" level.<br>
<br>
Also, as Anjana mentioned, you might want to join the <i>#wikimedia-qa</i>
IRC channel - quite a few of us who do QA work for the WMF hang out
there, so we can try to answer your questions as you work through
some of your first tests!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Jeff<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">This session was very useful to me in terms of
getting started. I had some basic questions like: What is
mediawiki and how to start to contribute in testing, what
are mediawiki extensions etc,.The usual newbie questions. As
i am interested in exploratory testing, Zeljko suggested
that Visual Editor would be a good place for me to start.He
explained where the source is kept, how bugs are filed, The
test environments used and many other basic stuff. He also
shared his screen to show how to edit an article on beta.
Thanks to Chris McMahon, all these details can now be found
on the QA page ( <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Quality_assurance" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Quality_assurance</a>).
<br>
Another thing that I was struggling with was the IRC. I was
using #mediawiki channel and wondering why I was the only
person there. Zeljko corrected me and said the channel was
#wikimedia :). Pairing with Zeljko has given me direction
and now I at least know where to look on wiki :). Thanks
Zeljko.<br>

I would like to convert InezK's Java Selenium

I was traveling last week so I did not have the time
to write reports from pairing sessions with S Page
and Anjana Ranganathan.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>S and I were working on converting a Selenium
test from Java to Ruby. I could not find the
commit in Gerrit. S, did you push the commit? Can
you write a few words about the pairing session?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anjana and I have been talking about how to get
involved in testing MediaWiki. Unfortunately, I do
not have any notes. Anjana, can you write a few
words about the pairing session?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Pairing sessions continue next Friday. Three
people are interested (so far). I will try to pair
with all of them (separately) next Friday. Let's
see how it goes.</div>
