Cadence

Cadence testing is a term used to describe how the quality team operates it's testing schedule. We follow a 2 week cadence for testing. This means, every 2 weeks we focus and test the varous aspects of ubuntu. This includes image testing, as well as other areas of concern for QA that are specific to that cadence week.

Schedule

Each release will have it's own schedule. Some adjustments to the strict 2 weeks may be made for holidays, etc, so do pay attention to the schedule for each release.

Raring

How does it work?

In practice, every 2 weeks we as a team test the daily images for ubuntu over the course of the week. The week is defined as Saturday to Saturday (in your local timezone). In addition, during this testing week, we also test some specific testcases that have been chosen for the week. These change for every cadence cycle.

How can I help?

You can help by testing the daily images during the cadence week, as well as submitting results for the targetted testcases as part of that week's testing. Follow the schedule link above and find the current cadence testing week. Inside you'll find links to the tracker that contains milestones and testcases for you to submit results against. Follow the tests and submit your results. Need help learning how to submit results and use the tracker? Start here.
