[Libreoffice-qa] Second Bug Hunting Session for LibreOffice 5.3

[Italo Vignoli]

LibreOffice 5.3 will be announced at the end of January 2017, with a
large number of new features which are summarized on the release notes
page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3. In order to
find, report and triage bugs, the QA team is organizing a second bug
hunting session on Friday, November 25, 2016. Tests will be performed on
the Beta version of LibreOffice 5.3, which will be available on the
pre-releases server (http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/) a
few days before the event. Builds will be available for Linux (DEB and
RPM), MacOS and Windows, and will run in parallel with the production
version.

Mentors will be available on November 25, 2016, from 8AM UTC to 10PM
UTC. Of course, hunting bugs will be possible also on other days, as the
builds of this particular Beta release (LibreOffice 5.3.0 Beta1) will be
available until mid December.

During the day there will be two dedicated sessions: the first to chase
bugs on the main LibreOffice modules between 3PM UTC and 5PM UTC, and
the second to test a set of the top 7 features between 5PM UTC and 7PM
UTC. All details of the second bug hunting session are available on the
specific wiki page:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHuntingSession/5.3.0Beta1.

During the dedicated sessions, we will concentrate all efforts to chase
and reproduce the bugs, in order to confirm and file them in a more
comprehensive way. Of course, the more comprehensive will be the bug
report, the easier will be for the developers to solve the bugs in time
for the final release.
