We will be providing a series of testcases for you to run in either stable releases or current milestone of development release. As soon as a milestone is officially released, you will be able to complete the tests (we encourage you to run them as soon as possible, to allow enough time to developers to fix the bugs). One of the good things about this program is that you will be able to discover every early bug of the development version of Ubuntu and you will gain experience on the Ubuntu development process. |

| '''''Please note''''' * If you share a laptop model with anyone, please coordinate with them to provide a single report for each milestone, unless it has different specifications. To do this just follow Ubuntu-QA ML and check the Laptop Report Wiki page ([[Testing/Laptop/Reports]]). |

| Here are the steps you need to follow: 1. Install or run a live CD of the most current point release of the development version of Ubuntu ([[http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/]]). 1. Check on [[Testing/Laptop/Reports]] if there is already a report for your laptop. |
Please refer to the [[http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Plans/LaptopTesting|Laptop testing test cases]] and the [[/Procedures|Testing procedures]] for details. Now test reports are filed in the test tracker at '''[[http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/|laptop.qa.ubuntu.com]]''' and bugs are filed in Launchpad. You don't need to create a wiki page for your test results anymore. You can find old wiki reports up till Natty Alpha 3 [[/Reports|here]] just for reference. |

| '''If there is:''' a. Hit the upper left ''edit'' link and add your WikiName under the existing one to the testing page using the '''@''SIG@'' ''' macro. a. From the [[http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Plans/LaptopTesting]] Wiki Page choose cases you want to test, write down their '''Case ID''' along with '''Description''', and start testing. a. Then check if you have anything different comparing same '''Case ID''' and, if this is the case, coordinate with the other person through Ubuntu-QA ML before updating the existing report. '''If you own a different laptop sub-model or one that hasn't been tested yet:''' a. Hit the upper left ''edit'' link and create a new entry adding your WikiName with the '''@''SIG@'' ''' macro, edition you are testing and link to the new laptop report. a. From the [[http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Plans/LaptopTesting]] Wiki Page choose cases you want to test, write down their '''Case ID''' along with '''Description''', and start testing. a. Create the new page for your test results. If you own a Toshiba Tecra M2, then the new page is named [[Testing/Laptop/Reports/ToshibaTecraM2]]. You can create the new page by typing the address in your browser and then following it. The reference template to create the table can be found here [[Testing/Laptop/Reports/Template]]. a. Add an entry to the table reporting '''Case ID''' and '''Description'''. The result of each test must be reported on the correct column using the reference model and according to the current milestone. 1. File bugs for anything that doesn't work and remember to mention if the problem was ''not'' in the stable version. 1. When a new point release for the development version comes out, install that and correct any information. File new bugs for items that are now broken and remember to close any bugs for things that now work. 1. Once you've done all that, sit back and take a break! Thanks for helping Ubuntu run on your laptop. |

Introduction
The Laptop Testing Project is open to anyone who would like to provide important hardware information of their own laptops. We're on a mission to get Ubuntu to work great on as many different makes and models of laptops as possible. To do this, we need to know which hardware works straight off the install CD and which hardware needs configuring or is poorly supported.
We will be providing a series of testcases for you to run in either stable releases or current milestone of development release. As soon as a milestone is officially released, you will be able to complete the tests (we encourage you to run them as soon as possible, to allow enough time to developers to fix the bugs).
One of the good things about this program is that you will be able to discover every early bug of the development version of Ubuntu and you will gain experience on the Ubuntu development process.

Sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and commit yourself to comply with it.
Subscribe to our mailing list at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa and introduce yourself.
How to Contribute
To get started with Laptop Testing you don't need to be a developer, and no special IT knowledge is required. Tests are really easy to make and remember that other people can benefit from your work in many ways.
How to make a Laptop Testing Report
Please refer to the Laptop testing test cases and the Testing procedures for details. Now test reports are filed in the test tracker at laptop.qa.ubuntu.com and bugs are filed in Launchpad. You don't need to create a wiki page for your test results anymore. You can find old wiki reports up till Natty Alpha 3 here just for reference.
For information on testing the milestones see ubuntu.com/testing.
If you want to help with the development of the Laptop tracker you can read how to set up a development environment.
Remember that Ubuntu-QA ML and #ubuntu-testing IRC channel on freenode can help with common problems and questions, don't hesitate to ask how to report bugs for example.
For an easy and quick access to our IRC channel you can use the freenode Webchat.
