- Where is QA? I mean, I know somewhere somebody is probably doing some
sort of testing, but having worked as a QA engineer I haven't seen anything in MW that would resemble proper and traditional testing (excluding the unit testing). Where's the list of test cases that need to be performed for each release? How can one make new test cases and add them? etc. Maybe this already exists, but if it does it's definitely not documented well enough.
Disclaimer: I am one of the QA people.
We are testing all the time, but there are just 3-4 of us, as far as I know. We are looking for help. As far as I know, there will be "Write your first Test Scenario in plain English" event[1] on the week of March 11, if you would like to help.
Feel free to add features/scenarios to the backlog[2] in the meantime. Let me know if you need help with that. (Test results for our browser automation project are available[3] to everybody, by the way). As an example, Siebrand provided a few features and scenarios[4] today and Chris and I have automated them[5][6]. (I have just noticed that the tests that we worked on today all failed because we make a mistake. It will be fixed probably on Monday.)
