The main entry oints for the QA team are the BugSquad and the [:TestingTeam:Testing Team]. The {{{ubuntu-qa}}} Launchpad team is a restricted team where members are admitted after an application process, and gives the ability to set the priority of bugs. In general, QA in Ubuntu is divided into the following areas:
  * Defect Management (Bug Triage)
  * Quality Control (Update, Application, and Pre-Release Testing)
  * Quality Assurance (Verification of Changes, Policy Compliance Review)
  * Product Improvement (Development)
