Extras-testing/QA Checklist/QA Improvements

Note: Work in progress, none of the action points below are definitive.

Automatic checks/Autobuilder

 * Bugtracker field - TBD
 * Optified - TBD

Package Interface

 * Votes should be changeable.
 * Each package that enters or leaves testing triggers a e-mail for the testing squad list

Thumbs Up

 * Collapsable check list will appear, testers should mark the fields tested.
 * Promotion should occur at +10 karma (if there's at least one completed check list ???)

Thumbs Down

 * Testers must comment on thumbs down.
 * Maintainers thumb down will demote the application from the testing queue.
 * X (fix me) thumbs down will demote the app.

Demotion

 * Packages can be demoted at any time by his maintainers or by a member of the testing squad (demotions should be advertised in the testing squad list).
 * When demoting a package there's a option to keep the current app karma (minor issues) or reset it (big blockers).

Check List
1. [ ] Licensing ok. 2. [ ] No illegal/dubious content. 3. [ ] Working provided features. 4. [ ] No missing announced features. 5. [ ] Optification ok. 6. [ ] No performance problems. 7. [ ] No power management issues. 8. [ ] No known security risks.

Additional comments:


 * Put [x] for those tests you have done, elaborate on separate row if the test is FAIL.
 * Vote up if there were no FAILs. If there was even one FAIL, vote down.
 * UI usability issues cannot be used as a reason for vote down.
 * Always test functionality - that is, run the program and try if it works as it should.

imaginary example: 1. [x] Licensing ok. 2. [ ] No illegal/dubious content. 3. [x] Working provided features. FAIL: There is choice between tabs and spaces as separators but spaces are always used (see bug: http://url/123). FAIL: When exporting file the program crashes (see bug: http://url/456) 4. [ ] No missing announced features. 5. [x] Optification ok. FAIL: the package uses 1512kb from root. 6. [ ] No performance problems. 7. [ ] No power management issues. 8. [ ] No known security risks.

Additional comments: I liked the program, even though, as is, I have to vote it down due to the bugs. I added few usability enhancements to bugzilla, see http://url/567 and http://url/678
