==How to Get Involved==
==How to Get Involved==
We are currently working on formalizing the calendar QA effort. There is much to be done, if you want to help make Sunbird and Lightning the best calendaring applications out there, you've come to the right place. We have a weekly calendar QA chat where you can connect with the other people doing calendar QA.
There are various ways you can get involved in helping the Calendar QA team, even with no previous experience!
*[[Calendar:QA_Chats]]
=== Filing Bugs ===
*[[Calendar:QA_TestCase_Writing_Day]]
Use Sunbird and/or Lightning. Find bugs. Write [http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html good bug reports].
*[[Calendar:QA_TestDays]]


==How to Report a Problem==
We test the [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ Sunbird] and [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/ Lightning] calendar projects. Sunbird and Lightning share much of the same code, and it is necessary to understand the high-level [[Calendar:Bugzilla_Component_Architecture | component architecture]] in order accurately report problems.

# Download a nightly build ([http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/nightly/latest-trunk/ for Sunbird]) ([http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/download.html  for Lightning]) and check to see that the bug has not already been fixed.

=== The 'qawanted' keyword ===
Calendar developers will place the 'qawanted' keyword on bugs where they need help from a QA person.  Generally, the bug should include a comment about what is needed from QA.  If it doesn't and you're unsure what needs to be done, please add a comment saying so.

=== Blocking Nominations ===
If I bug you've filed (or even just seen) seems to qualify as a bug that should block the next release of Sunbird and/or Lightning, set the blocking0.3 flag to ?.  For more information see [[Calendar:For_Everyone:Blocking_Flags]]
 
=== Verifying bugs ===
Bugs get resolved all the time.  When this happens, it's helpful for QA to come along and ensure that the resolution was correct.  For instance, if a patch was checked in, the bug will be marked FIXED.  QA can then test the next nightly build to see if the bug has indeed been fixed.

=== Confirming Unconfirmed Bugs ===
Many bugs are reported to Bugzilla in the Unconfirmed state.  These bugs need QA folks to examine them and help determine (1) whether a bug really exists (2) what information a developer will need to fix the bug (3) where the bug should best be filed.  See also [http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/unconfirmed.html the Mozilla guidelines for triaging].
