I hope I can be one of the helping hands here. But as I am pretty new to doing music stuff with Linux, I hope to use the exercise of doing test cases to get to know the Ubuntu Studio applications. This will be combined with a bit of bug triaging, which also helps to identify use cases that could be test cases (some bug reporters also have unusual use cases which will be ignored for now ;-) ). As a first step I have added Audacious to the list of Test Cases. I found a bug requesting a test case, which is "Fix Released", but it does not appear in the qatracker yet. The bug pointed me to the relevant lp branch for the test suite, and I was able to work through it. I would like to expand the test suite with two more test cases (playing a midi file & playing a CD). So I suppose I should submit a new bug against ubuntu-manual-tests asking for the extra test cases, and then I could merge the existing one to my own branch & begin working on it? Regards, Ross
