Hi Stuart, thanks for responding, as I now only realized you're gonna have to log in to the site to perform testcases properly, my apologies for missing this information initially! Click on 'Log in' button, it'll take you to a screen where you can either log in with your existing account, or create a new one. Choose accordingly. When you're done with the authentication, you can carry on with the rest of these instructions. In the first page of the website (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com), there are the milestones tests listed. For now, you can only meaningfully choose the 'Precise Daily', it's the only one currently with 'Testing' status. Click on the name. Now you're presented every release that'll be out there eventually. It's a long list. You have to scroll way down to see 'Ubuntu Studio DVD amd64' and 'Ubuntu Studio DVD i386' (you can disregard the Alternates, they're not being created anymore). Click on either arch, depending on your system. Here you can see two testcases, 'Install (ubiquity)' and 'Live Session'. The former is the one you choose to install without trying, when you boot up the image (I forget now the actual text for the menu option, but it'll be quite obvious), and the latter is the 'Try Ubuntu Studio without installing', or something to that effect. Click on either one you're willing to test, again depending on whether you want to make permanent changes to your system, or just giving it a spin to see how it runs. Note, that on this page you can subscribe to either one or both testcases, if you so incline. Now finally you can see the form in which the results are to be inserted. Above the form you can find links to both the download info, and how the testcases ought to be performed. If you already have acquired the image elsewhere (like on [0]), be sure still to read the testcase instructions, for there are listed the actions we'd want you to be able to take, ie. confirming that the system works as expected. If everything goes as the testcases describe, you can mark the results as 'Passed'. If you cannot finish it on one go, you can mark it as 'In progress', and return to it later on. The most demanding is when something isn't quite right, and the system doesn't react to everything there is in the testcase description. Here it'd be much appreciated if you could, additionally to marking the test as 'Failed', look into LaunchPad [1] for possibly already existing bugs, or file new ones if you can't find similar. 'Critical bugs' would be those that completely prevent you from using the system. Plain 'Bugs' is for something that you could potentially live with, if your life depended on it. :) 'Hardware profile' would be nifty, but not at all required. If you can simply describe something about the machine you're testing on, it'd possibly speed up profiling some issues, but in any case the bug reports are where the majority of the triaging happens anyway. Finally there's 'Comments' for any additional bit of info you'd like to share with us concerning the installation/session. Remember to hit 'Submit results' button on the way out. :) Good question, thanks for paying attention! Got others? Shoot, I'm happy to help you help us.
