Re: 3.20 Test Days

[Allan Day <aday gnome org>]

Hi everyone!

The previous test day was a big success! We discovered issues early, and quite a lot of fixes have been committed based on the test results.

The next test day is scheduled for next Monday (22 February), and it would be great if anyone wanted to join in and help out. There are instructions on the test days page [1], and there's an empty page [2] ready to have notes added to it.

We can probably use #gnome-hackers for discussion on the day.

For this cycle, I wanted to make sure that we do a more thorough job of testing prior to release. To that end, I've scheduled three days where I plan to do testing.

The idea is to do a simple walk through of the release, as a new user would experience it, making notes and taking screenshots along the way. It is intended as a light weight exercise, and I'm happy to conduct it on my own. Other testers would be more than welcome though! Some initial instructions can be found on the wiki:

I conducted the first test yesterday, and have put my notes and screenshots on the wiki:

There are plenty of issues in there, so developers and release team please take a look!

In the future, it would be good to try and make this a standard part of the release schedule.
