[PROPOSAL] On Reproducibility of Defects

I have a suggestion with regard to reproducibility of reported defects. First, it is important to reproduce using the same release and platform as the reporter if at all possible. If the user has a configuration that is not available for confirming yet the bug can't be reproduced with the

[QUESTION] Assigned Defect Reports and QA

I am using Urmi's message just as a reminder about a question that has been in the back of my mind. When students and others come here to work on QA, what is it QA is thought to be? So, what do those who have asked to be part of the QA operations here regard as what they are called upon to do
