[QA] Volunteering (hi Lolita)

[Lolita Dsilva]

Hi Chris and All,
I am interested in doing any software testing. I read thro' all the instructions, but I am still not sure on how to start testing and who would have the test plan.

My interest is to get some experience in QA testing.

Thanks
Lolita

For Wikipedia, you might start by reading through http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA and all the pages linked from there.  I would really appreciate any questions, reactions or suggestions you might have about that information, I am due to rewrite and update much of it soon. 

For software testing in general, there are any number of resources available.  A good place for a comprehensive overview might be http://www.testingreferences.com/

Feel free to ask specific questions and to let us know what aspects of software testing are of interest to you.  There is a good chance that someone here shares your interests.
