Hi Artiom,

The Open Source development model works significantly different than
development models used by most companies. There are off course
similarities as well.
Testing is done by the users themselves. Some of those users are
developers, and might even help solving problems with the software.
If you are interested in this model, you could start reading the books
by Eric Raymond like 'Cathedral and the bazaar'.

If you are interested in doing some testing, you are more than welcome
to do so. Testing with tools like Valgrind will probably find some more
problems in the various parts of Gnome.

Helping hands are always welcomed,

Aschwin
