After doing a lot of research and visiting WMF for a week, I created a QA/testing project page here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/testing
tl;dr: it is early days yet and lots of details to be worked out, but I have a picture in place of an integrated, valuable QA/testing structure and process that revolves around Jenkins and the labs cluster wikis. In the long run this should provide a reliable way to involve the global software testing community in WMF features testing, as well as involve WMF tech people in valuable testing activities.
Comments and criticism most welcome!

Other meanings were: * qualtity articles * question & answer * ... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QA]
