Ok, I thought "team" meant language teams. But I have searched the Wiki and
cannot find any documentation on the required QA procedure relating to
national languages.
Can it be, that it was never really defined and written down ?
It was. We used to have two tools, TCM and QATrack.
The former was a test management platform, which (among many other
things) contained a "Release Sanity" test suite, about 30 tests that
should be passed to release OpenOffice in a certain language: sorting
text with native language characters and so on.
The latter was a web panel where responsible QA persons for each
language could state that they were running QA on, say, the German Mac
OS X version and report whether the build was approved or rejected (and
much more, but this is the basic idea).
Both tools are unused now. TCM is not accessible but if Oracle manages
to provide the testcases (not the platform) we will be able to reuse
them. QATrack was initially written by me and then significantly
extended by Per Eriksson and we should have it somewhere, but can be
easily redone on a proper framework: I wouldn't write a tool explicitly
for that purpose any longer these days.
