Can I please be added to the QA role in Bugzilla
Can I please be added to the QA role in Bugzilla
Username colinjamesmcdermott@gmail.com
BTW started to perform steps below. Realised that I was not in QA role. If
you could put a note "if you cannot assign the bug to yourself, then you
probably have not been added to the QA role, please see above"
Here's what to do to confirm a new defect report:
1. First, assign the report to yourself by setting your Bugzilla
username (your email address) in the "QA Contact" field.
2. Then read over the report. What are they really saying? Are they
reporting a bug? Asking for a new feature? Asking a support question? Just
because it is in Bugzilla does not mean that it is a defect report.
3. Ask yourself: Are they saying that something is working incorrectly?
Or are they asking for new functionality? If they are asking for a new
feature, change the Issue Type field to "FEATURE". If they are asking for
an enhancement of an existing feature, set the Issue Type field to
"ENHANCEMENT". You can now set the Status to CONFIRMED and then save your
changes. You are done with the report.
BTW Big Kudos for what you are doing. I know that I have only started
squatting but I plan to hit a few bugs each week.

Hi Anitha,
OK. You are now in the "qa-team" group.

You should be able to sign up for a wiki account here:

Then you can add your own information.
Thanks!

Rob,
I am Anitha from USA. Could you please add me to the QA role in Bugzilla
so that I can get started on assigning some bugs for myself for
verification?
Also please add me the QA resources Wiki page.
Thank you,
Anitha Nityanand

Thanks. If you are familiar with Bugzilla it is not too hard to find
bugs to work on. I'd recommend starting with the
"unconfirmed-defects" predefined query and finding any interesting
ones that have no QA Contact.
Or, I'm happy to assign you a small batch of defects to review. For
new volunteers I filter out the ones that I know will be difficult to
test or require specialized knowledge and instead give ones rely more
on common end-user knowledge of how OpenOffice works. Of course,
finding suitable bug reports on your own is fine as well, and is
something I'm hoping all volunteers eventually will do.
Also, could I get you to add your information to the wiki here:
