Workweek Sessions Details
| Session Topic | Description | Etherpad Notes |
| Workweek Overview | 2 Objective for this meeting:
|
notes |
| Identifying common QA practices across products | Every product seems to have its own way of test signoff, bug lingo, and dev/qa process communication. But there is no single place i can point to that identifies commonality of it within a QA org. Lets chat about what those common points are, what are processes that don't work, and come up with a agreed identity around it. | notes |
| QA lunch with Shaver | Grab lunch and head over to warp core for QA chat with Mike Shaver. | notes |
| Review Mozmill 2.0 features | Use the normal Tools automation meeting to discuss Mozmill 2.0 features. In addition how will we integrate the train-model release practices. | notes |
| QMO.next Discussion | Go over schedule, objectives and assignments. 2 objectives for this meeting:
|
notes |
| Drumbeat and QA | Brainstorm with the Drumbeat folks (Mark Surman,Allen Gunn and Nathaniel James) to see where we can recruit QA community members through Drumbeat participation | notes |
| Automation and Tools Update | Clint Talbert from the A-team will be giving an update of where we are with automation and tools | notes |
| Examine uTest feedback and future use | We have had limited use of uTest's crowdsourced testing capabilities. In this meeting will deliver the feedback to uTest on the test cycles that were conducted and explore where we can better utilize the service and apply it other feature testing areas. | notes |
| Community Brainstorm | Brainstorm ideas for better communication and recruitment of community members and we will review opportunities to participate in various events that are being organized by Sarah, Gen and William. The idea would be to see where we would best fit in, and we could leverage strong community building potential. | notes |
