Roundtable/Discussion Items

  • Sync
  • Goals for 2014
    • Increase scalability by attaining a level of community participation where we have on average 80 active contributors per week, every week working on QA projects
    • Every top level project in every area will establish a comprehensive and integrated set of quality metrics and a known, externally (from qa) referenceable level of quality.
    • Drive changes to our processes for increased efficiency and impact as measured from both developer satisfaction (with finding issues early and often) and in end-user quality perception and satisfaction.
    • Support platform and products to ensure what we are shipping is high quality.
