KDE SIG QA help needed
Hey everyone. We're going to have a hard time keeping KDE a release-blocking
spin if the QA team doesn't get more active help from KDE SIG folks. I
know many of you are active and involved, but we're getting into a
sitation where a lot of fairly bad bugs are found at the last minute
because no one looked before the QA person running through the final
battery of tests.
Particularly, the "everything installed by default must basically
function" criteria is really hard. KDE installs a lot more than
Workstation does, so a lot of testing is required. Paring down this
list would obviously help, but so would simply going through everything
using nightly builds once F27 branches in about a month (see the
schedule here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/27/Schedule) and
marking anything that should be a blocker as such -- and then repeating
that again at Final Freeze. That way, it won't come down to discovering
big problems literally on the day we want to send the release out the
door -- which forces us to make hard decisions.
Thanks!
