On the other hand a detailed test plan with test cases would be great to have - I'm sure the opensuse-testing team would welcome any actual help to make 12.2 better. The testcases which were run, e.g. the openqa tests, showed success once 12.1 was declared golden. so, it's not that we don't have tests - we don't have enough and then you need ways (automatic testing or volunteers) to run and report them,
This sounds like an interesting opportunity for some better method of community involvement. Each of us has our areas of interest, and expertise, (well, in my case perhaps just interest). The concept of testing an entire distro is rather daunting. To the point where, depending on the press of business, simply finding the time to wade thru a beta or an RC and reporting every bug one encounters is a huge task. Further, there is a tendency to get hung up on the first bug you find, and never get beyond that, in spite of the fact that 3000 other testers found the same bug. If folks could signup/check-in on some webpage to test those packages they use so that there is a clear list and perhaps a participation log or indicator of the number of eyeballs on a given package or area we could avoid the situation where everybody tests the same stuff, and other things get totally overlooked. If I know a ton of people are looking at the KNetworkManager, I don't have to spend time there, and can test those other packages that I use and rely on, and largely ignore flaws I find in KNM. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
