Hi folks, We in Kubuntu are trying to organize our QA efforts, to make them easier for testers to use, and make the results useful for the developers. Of course most QA for us happens in KDE itself. We've asked Sayak to think about creating a webapp that we could use to host our stuff. We'd love to see KDE chime in, and make this webapp useful to all of us.
We envision something that developers could easily use to add test cases, and get information out of. Also, it should be easy to point testers to, and easy for the testers to report their results, and create bug reports if necessary. For now, we're using Google forms, which work OK, but are not ideal. I've included Harald's announcement of that below. Sayak has given us some positive feedback, but doesn't have time right now to whip up a webapp. So we have time to think about exactly what we want. Is the KDE Quality team in favor of such a webapp? Are there similar testing frameworks from which we could take inspiration?

All tests are meant to take no more than 10 minutes and should be doable by just about everyone. They are the perfect way to get some basic testing done without all the hassle testing usually involves. If you are already testing Beta 1, head on over to our Quality Assurance Headquarters [1] to get the latest test cases. Feel free to run any test case, at any time. If you have any questions, send me a mail, reply to this thread, or stop by in #kubuntu-devel on irc.freenode.net.
