Calling All Community Members to Test The Release
April 25th was the official date for cutting our next named release, Teak! We thoroughly test each release candidate before it goes live to make sure that the versions of Open edX software you install are proven to work.
No matter what role you play within the Open edX community, you are a perfect tester, and we’d be thrilled to have you join us! Anyone who’s ever used the platform is fully qualified to help us in our testing effort.
How do I join?
It’s easy! Check out the instructions for running a release test . But in short, you’ll pick a test off the Sumac testing spreadsheet, visit a dedicated test sandbox, execute the test, and log the results on the spreadsheet. You’ll also file a ticket in this GitHub repository in the case of a failing test, and community product managers and engineers will triage and fix it.
Tests are defined, and results logged, on the Teak release testing spreadsheet . That spreadsheet also contains links to our testing sandbox and a cheat sheet of information and links.
Timeline
All tests need to be completed by June 9th.
I have more questions!
