Hi Kate,

I am not sure if you got an answer, so welcome!

Testing is always needed. What operating system do you use?

We prepare at least one "Release Candidate" during our release process.
would you be interested to test them (when available)?

Regards,

   Matthias

Hello,

I am new to QA and have no experience in the field yet. But I became
interested in the role that would help to make software products reliable
and intuitive for the users. Open Office volunteering scheme feels like a
great opportunity for me to see how testing works from the inside and if
this path is right for me to explore further.

Looking forward to working with you all and receiving advice from time to

Greetings Minu and Welcome to Apache OpenOffice;

If you have not already perused it, the QA orientation page is a good place to
start. There you will find directions on creating a Bugzilla (our
bug tracking system) Account and other information. I also strongly
suggest looking at the Level 1 and Level 2 documents on the
Orientation page as they give a good overview of how projects at the
Apache Software Foundation (ASF) operate and the common
infrastructure provided to all projects.

Hey guys,

I subscribed to the AOO QA mailing list due to a recommendation from Keith
N. McKenna. My first contribution was on this bug report:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127157

I am a Software Engineering student in my Senior year at Florida Institute
of Technology. I am also an Undergraduate Research Assistant for Dr. Marco
Carvalho and do a lot of work on Cybersecurity grants. I had to analyse an
unconfirmed AOO Writer bug report and contribute valuable information to it
as an assignment for our Software Testing class. I was ecstatic when I read
Keith's kind comments! I am not sure how much time I'll be able to
contribute to the project right now, as the semester is in full swing, but
I'd certainly be happy to help out when I can.

Thanks,

Thank you Dennis and Andrea for all your help!

Yes, I am on Windows 10.

I am asking about the VM because I read somewhere in all these links that
the app could corrupt the computer, which I would prefer to avoid ;).

Do we have an estimate on when builds will be released to Windows so I can
contribute?

As soon as we get the daily builds for Windows available again, we will

The page above suggests VirtualBox as a "more sophisticated approach". 
This is correct. Most volunteers are not expected to run their tests in 
a Virtual Machine. So don't worry about this technicality, you can 
perfectly start by installing development builds on your own system.

I can only answer for myself.

I assume you mean a license Guest OS installed in a VM.

I only have two installed guests for the moment.

I have one Windows 10 Insider installed under the Hyper-V Manager that is part 
of Windows 10 Pro on a machine that has the necessary hardware capability for 
Hyper-V.  I obtained that license during the Windows 10 Insider Technical 
Preview (and at the time the Hyper-V host was a now-upgraded Windows 8.1 
device).

I also have one Windows XP guest installed under Virtual Box on another 
machine.  The XP license is one I have from an MSDN subscription.  This is not 
for testing though - I need it as a web-development server.  Virtual Box does 
not work well on the machine that has Hyper-V.  The advantage of Hyper-V over 
Virtual Box is that Hyper-V will install 64-bit versions of Windows on a 64-bit 
Host.

I don't have a current MSDN subscription, so I don't know what OS licenses 
there are for test use at this time.  If you are at an academic institution, 
there may be suitable subscriptions available via the institution.  Apache 
Committers have been eligible for free Microsoft MSDN subscriptions in the 
past.  Those generally provide licenses to several operating-system 
installations for test purposes, with OS install ISOs available for download 
from the MSDN site.  (I notice that I have existing keys for all versions from 
Windows XP through Windows 8 but not 8.1 and 10, released after my last MSDN 
subscription expired.)

I don't know of any other avenue in the case of Windows guests for installation 
in/as VMs.

For testing on Linux of course, the easy solution is to install under Virtual 
Box on whatever host you have available.

I don't know what solutions are available for running OSX as a guest OS in a VM.

Re: Introduction as QA volunteer

Thank you Dennis for your answer.

I definitely agree that VMs have a lot of great advantages, as you

I checked the Win 10 insider license and I don't think it is a possibility.

What do you guys do? Do you have a licensed VM for your testing?

RE: Introduction as QA volunteer

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

I think the recommendation for using a VM is so that a machine used for 
production is not necessarily disturbed when conducting tests that may lead to 
crashes that have collateral damage.

And, a VM can be backed up and reconstituted more readily.

I also suspect that it was written by Mac/POSIX-oriented developers who only 
use Windows and maybe some Linux flavors in VMs [;<).

Whatever the reason, you are correct about licensing requirements for the guest 
OS.

 - Dennis

PS: For Windows 10, and a VM on hardware that is capable of satisfying the 
Windows 10 hardware/VM requirements, you might be able to obtain a Windows 
Insider licensed install.  You might need Windows 7 or later on the host PC 
though.  (This arrangement may have been changed since it worked for the 
Windows 10 Technical Preview.)

Nice to meet you Barinuadum!

While the software itself is free, I believe you would need licensing for
the OS needed when creating a VM.

Hello Benoit,

I believe virtual box is free. So no licensing is required.

Introduction as QA volunteer

[Benoit Goderre]

Hi!

I am thankful for this opportunity to join the team of volunteers as a
Quality Assurance Specialist. My name is Benoit Goderre and I have four
years of experience in the software industry. My favorite technique is
exploratory testing.

As I wish to start to contribute to the project, I have several questions:


   1. Is this project still going on? When I checked the QA page, I saw
   that the last entry was made in 2013.
   2. If yes, which feature(s) would need the most testing, or which
   feature(s) have the most chances to contain bugs (so I can contribute and
   not just test rock solid, if those ever exist, features).
   3. Also, in the documentation section, it is mentioned that Virtual Box
   is recommended. While I have a decent amount of experience with VMWare (and
   I don't think Virtual Box should be much different), the usual problem lies
   in the licensing when it comes to VM. Is there some information on this
   topic?

Thanks again for your time and I wish to speak with you soon.

Best Regards,

Benoit

[Josephat Mokamba]

Hello QA volunteers,

I am Josephat from Sydney, Australia and I would like to get involved in
Quality Assurance in the OpenOffice community.

I believe joining the Open Office QA will be a great way to learn about QA,
get practical experience and contribute to the open source community as an
aspiring Software Tester.

My background is in engineering, however over the last three years I have
enjoyed learning about coding and web development. I have a particular
interest in continuous improvement and Quality Assurance

I am excited about joining the QA OpenOffice as a volunteer and I look
forward to developing a career as a software tester.

Sincerely,

Josephat Mokamba

Hello Frank, it is very simple for you an and anyone else to join.

First, take a look at 
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html just to have a 
generic introduction.


Then, register for a Bugzilla account as instructed in that page.

And then you can:

1) Download and use the development version 4.1.2-RC2, available from 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/ ; currently, the 
English version for Windows is at 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-rc2-r1707648/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe


2) Use the following link to find a list of issues to be checked: 
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ACCEPTED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&f1=flagtypes.name&list_id=170870&o1=substring&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&v1=4.1.2_release_blocker%2B


The aim of QA is to bring issues from RESOLVED state to VERIFIED. To do 
that, you can just put a comment in each issue that is not already 
VERIFIED or CLOSED and state if it works for you or not.


You can get permission to flag issues as CLOSED or VERIFIED yourself by 
asking on this list.


Regards,
  Andrea.

Welcome Frank,

Power users, such as I think you will find yourself to be, are perfect for 
checking the boundaries and confirmation of defects for Apache OpenOffice.

Your participation is very welcome.

Others will suggest good places to start.

An important immediate case is verifying that there are no regressions in the 
current AOO 4.1.2 release candidate and confirming that the defects claimed to 
be fixed are (1) evidently fixed and (2) have no unintended consequences.

Please ask questions [;<).

Hello,

I am a long time user and advocate of Openoffice software.  I can't
remember precisely when my first introduction to Openoffice was, but it
would have been around 8 -10 years ago.  Openoffice has enabled me to work
on office files and documents, without having to afford Microsoft's Office
software.  The extensiveness of capability and cross-compatibility, coupled
with ease of use, has kept me as a long time user of Openoffice.

Having experienced the benefits of the Openoffice software family, I want
the opportunity to give back, in any way that I can offer.  Reading that
there is a place for debug verification, I believe that is something that I
can be of immediate assistance with.  I love trying to push the limits of
software that I utilize, so this definitely fits.

I have office and technical skills, but not programming experience.  I am a
long time CAD operator, and business office software user.  Currently I am
a proposal process engineer working for KUKA Systems Aerospace Group.  If

listed in the "Easy QA Task: Confirm New Defect Reports" section.
This is an ongoing task. (If you need additional permissions to
confirm tasks, please post a message to this list.)

Right now, we are testing out a preliminary candidate for the 4.1.2
release. If you would like to get involved in that, please see how
to obtain the 4.1.2 RC1 candidate on this wiki page:

Hi All,

My name is Kenneth Reinert, and I am currently a research associate studying 
neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh.  I am trying to transition into 
software testing, and I have been working with software testing from an 
algorithm validation point of view for the past 8 years as part of my job.  I 
just started the Bug Advocacy course from the Association for Software Testing, 
and participating in the QA process for Open Office is part of the course.  I 
look forward to learning more about QA with Open Office and helping to make it 
a better product.

Best Wishes,
Ken

Ah, Cambridge.  I used at Lotus Development Corporation, many years

Wow, it sounds like you have a great set of skills and experience.
We can always use someone with this kind of background.

If you are entirely new to open source you might want to review some
of the other orientation pages as well, so you get a feel for how
we're organized and how we make decisions.  It is very different from
a hierarchical top-down corporate structure.  We're very "flat" and
self-directed.

We just release Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 last week.  So reviewing
incoming bug reports from users, to see if there is anything
surprising (we hope not!) found by them in this release is a good
place to start.   You can find details in the "Easy QA Task: Confirm
New Defect Reports" section of the QA Orientation page.

Hello everyone,
My name is Victoria Hardy. I am a QA tester working for Vecna 
Technologies in Cambridge. My company has a strong emphasis on community 
service and open source projects, so I have decide to get involved with 
the OpenOffice community. I have been a software tester for about 2 
years. I have particular experience with manual testing, test case 
writing, and accessibility standards for software. Although I have 
mostly been doing manual testing I know how to use Selenium and I hope 
to learn jBehave soon. I have some programming skills in Java, C++ and 
Python.
What I don't really have experience with is the Open Source Community. I 
have been reading through the QA orientation module. I have opened a 
Bugzilla account. I am used to working with Jira, but Bugzilla looks 
fairly similar so I don't think the learning curve on it should be that 
steep. Perhaps it would be best for me to start with reviewing some of 
the bug reports? Is there a specific procedure for doing that?

I look forward to working with you all.

Thank you,
 Victoria

Please review our archives[1] and recent emails about the processes for
testing the new AOO 4.1.1 showstopper bugs and report on them. Make sure to
mention the machines (or VMs) at your disposal for testing the application
under those platforms.

Hi qa,
I would like to introduce myself: I'm Amali from Victoria, Australia. I've four 
years of real experience in software, mostly in C++. Operating systems I've 
worked with and known about are Unix, Linux, and Windows. I've got Junior Linux 
certification LPIC-1 as well.

I'm interested in C++, Python, Perl, Linux projects.
I've got coding experience in C++ and I've done a good amount of manual testing 
as well; however, I would like to learn more about QA, in areas such as test 
automation, writing scripts, and automatic testing.

thanks,
amali.

Hi,

great, you are welcome!
I did not find any Bugzilla activity of ambi...@gmail.com, so it seems 
you are new here?


You should create an account for ,
check UNCONFIRMED bugs, try to reproduce the problem, add comments with 
useful information.


In parallel you should read


,
,


Don't worry, real AOO-qa-life is more simple than it looks while you 
read all that stuff.


Do not hesitate to add me to CC in a bug if you are not sure whether you 
are right.


Tell us your Bugzilla account here, a mentor can follow your activity, 
help you, change Bug Status and other fields due to your test results as 
long as your permissions will not allow that.


After some activity our Bugzilla administrators will rise your permissions.

Best regards

Hello,

This is Ambika Rajagopalan, with ~6 years of QA experience in both manual
and automation testing using selenium/Java. I would like to contribute for
openoffice QA team and get better knowledge about open sourcing.

I would really appreciate if someone help me from where I can get the
latest build and start testing. I also went through the issues page and
getting familiarized but I don't find a page with latest build.

Thanks

On a separate note the buildbot is running now
http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/win/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Win_x86_install_en-US_1586681.exe

So you can get the development version.

Re: Răspuns: New QA Volunteer

Afaik Bugzilla should be automated, check your spam box. Or try to do it again.

The only manual process is to upgrade your account level to QA auditor.
You have the following permission bits set on your account:
canconfirm  Can confirm a bug or mark it a duplicate
editbugsCan edit all bug fields
qa-team Members of the AOO QA team
registered-user All registered users

I also wonder if maybe Yuhzen can help speed out the process.

you should have sent to qa-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org which will
then get a confirmation email.
This confirmation email will have a url which you can click, or
alternatively just reply to it without modification. once you do that
you should be golden.

Hello Jochen,

I've added you to the qa-team in Bugzilla, so you should be OK there now.

We had some spam issues on the MWiki and new accounts were suspended.
But Andrea might be able to help you get in.

As for testing, we're right now doing verification testing of the 4.1
beta release candidate, to make sure that the critical bugs that the
developers marked as fixed are actually fixed.   If you want to help
with that Yuzhen can help you get started.

But you mentioned unit testing...  You might want to ask on the dev
mailing list about that (d...@openoffice.apache.org).  QA doesn't touch
unit testing.   But we do have a Java/Eclipse based GUI automation
testing framework that needs some attention, if you are interested in
that.

Regards,

-Rob

Hi,

I would like to join the bugzilla qa-team (j.nitsc...@ok.de).
My interests lie in code quality and I would like to learn more about
unit testing.
I read the good volunteer orientation till Level 3 dev & qa, subscribed

Please join Bugzilla and try to confirm bug reports.

Welcome and good luck.

Some useful information: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html

Hello my name is Phillip and I am a student at the University of Ballarat.
I am currently undertaking a course that teaches about open source and one of 
the assessments for this course requires me to contribute to an open source 
project. 
I do not have any previous experience at working on something like this, but 
would like to contribute in the form of testing and QA.
I am not sure how I can help or where to start so any advice or guidance would

Hi Purva,

Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project!

Are you an OpenOffice users?   If not you'll want to download the
latest version and poke around:  http://www.openoffice.org/download

We just released our 4.0 version a couple of weeks ago.  In the first
week it was downloaded over 1 million times!

We don't yet have a more recent build from the developers.  So we're
not doing any formal testing right now.  Most of us are focused on
reviewing incoming bug reports from users.   Users tend to write vague
defect reports.  We try to work with them to gather additional details
and if possible confirm the defect report and pass it on to the
developers to look at.  In many cases the bugs are duplicates and we
can close the duplicate report quickly.  In some cases the user report
is a "how to" question not a bug, and we refer them to the support
forum.

So if you'd like to help us with confirming new bug reports, the
assistance would be much appreciated.

You can find specific steps to get started on our website.  We have a
few pages of "orientation" information for new volunteers here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/

If you are new to working on an open source project I'd recommend
skimming the Level 1 and Level 2 topics for background.  And I do mean
skim.  No need to spend hours reading all that.  But then focus on the
"Introduction to QA" topic:

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html

That has some specific tasks for you to start with, subscribing to
mailing lists, creating a Bugzilla account, adding your info to the
wiki, etc.  Once you've done that you can help with the "Easy QA Task:
Confirm New Defect Reports" items.

Don't hesitate to send along any questions!

Regards,

-Rob

Good.  I am one of the Bugzilla admins, so I just added you to the QA
group in Bugzilla.  This permits you to modify bug reports, change
status, etc.

I'd recommend a quick review of the new volunteer pages I linked to
above.  The "Intro to QA", of course, is the key one.  And ask
questions.   There are many other volunteers here to help.

Welcome Alex.
You could firstly register on Bugzilla <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/> and

accounts are necessary for AOO testing.
We'll start AOO 4.0 regression test in this Thursday. And I'll send the
"call-for" letter later. Hope you pick up some task in AOO 4.0 regression
test.
Thanks!

Hello Keki,   Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project.  I apologize
for not responding earlier.

We have some web pages to help orient new QA volunteers to the
project.  You might want to start here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html

Since you already have some QA experience much of this will be review.
But it will help you get started with things like signing up for a
Bugzilla account.

You mention experience with Java and JUnit.  You might want to then
take a look at our test automation framework.  It allows us to define
test cases using JUnit and run those against the OpenOffice GUI.

More info on the test automation is here:

http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/test_automation_guide

Give that a try, and if you have any questions post to the list and me
or one of the other volunteers will try to help.

Thanks!

-Rob

Hello Sandhya,

Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project and our QA team!

I'm Rob, a member of the project helping to coordinate new volunteers.
 I'm in Massachusetts, where we just had two feet of snow.  Nothing
like San Jose!

We have a web page with information for new volunteers here:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html

Although, with your background, I doubt this page will teach you
anything new about the practice and discipline of QA, it will get you
up to speed on our local process, and direct you to sign up for a
Bugzilla account and other things.

Since you have a programming background also, you might be interested
in our Java-based automation framework.   There is a link to more
information in the above referenced document.

> Happy to a part of this Community.

And happy to have you!

Regards,

-Rob
