I am recently doing training in QA from a institute online...have done manual testing and now automation testing tools class going on. I have learned the testing lifecycle and is familiar with it in bits and pieces .I am trying hard to understand but without hands on experience am finding it difficult. I want help with writing test cases, identifying the bugs and defect and how to jot down in spreadsheets. I want to learn from experienced personals so that i can make my interest of becoming a tester successful. I have my degree as a Bachelors of Science from India. I have no prior knowledge of any computer related programmings or work. Please help me in starting out . Hello Sushmita, Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! A couple others have pointed you to the Orientation pages on our website: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html This page will help you get signed up for an account on Bugzilla and help explain the kinds of things the QA team works on. Since you have prior experience with SQA a lot of this will be familiar. The QA effort tracks the project's overall lifecycle. Since we just released Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 a week ago, it is natural that we focus now on reviewing incoming bugs reports from users. We'll want to determine, over the next few weeks, whether any new and serious bugs slipped through into this release. The section called Easy QA Task: Confirm New Defect Reports on the Orientation page will help you get started with that. If you have any questions, please send them to the qa@openoffice.apache.org mailing list and someone will respond. It may be a little slow right now, since August is vacation time for many project volunteers, but it will pick up again in September.

My company has a strong emphasis on community Hello Victoria, and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! Ah, Cambridge. I used at Lotus Development Corporation, many years ago, both in Lechmere and Kendall Square. Boca Grande burritos, yummm... But now I'm out in the 'burbs. 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. Wow, it sounds like you have a great set of skills and experience. We can always use someone with this kind of background. 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. 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. http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/ Perhaps it would be best for me to start with reviewing some of the bug reports? Is there a specific procedure for doing that? 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. Regards, -Rob I look forward to working with you all.
