Weekly Test Fests
Join our QA “Test Fests” every Friday from 10am to 11 am, Eastern time! This is an opportunity to jump into testing Sakai with the support of the QA Team and other community members. You do not need to be an functional expert to get involved. Test Fest agendas and notes can be found by following this etherpad link here: https://etherpad.nightly.sakaiproject.org/p/QA-Test-Fest. We begin our Test Fests in the QA Room in BigBlueButton (see left). Throughout the course of the Test Fest, we communicate using our new SakaiQA channel in Apereo’s Slack instance described under Communication Channels on this page.
*QA testing is informed by updates on the Core Team call and QA planning meetings which are held on Tuesday every week. Therefore, QA testing cycles usually run from Wednesday to Wednesday the following week. Longer QA cycles may be held during QA for major releases to accommodate more in-depth testing such as regression testing.
