What is a Testing Squad?

How everybody can help

  • You can help testing beta software available in the Extras-testing repository, in order to provide high quality software to the Maemo users.
  • If you don't feel ready to join the testing Squad or don't have enough skills, you can still help, testing the applications from a user point of view (Functionalities, description, etc...).

Testers FAQ

The application has a usable but very ugly UI, should I thumb it down ?

No, developers are encouraged to adopt the Maemo 5 UI guidelines and optimize their application to finger use. However, lack of Maemo 5 UI optimization is not a reason to block an application in its way to Extras unless it is unusable even with stylus.

I found a critical bug during testing, what I should do ?

First you should report the bug in the application bugtracker, after that ask the developer to thumb down the application(in order to demote it) and add it to this list.
