Here are a few notes I took on what should be the goals of this effort in my opinion:
- Analyze the tools required to setup a full test environment for DNN Platform
- Test all possible scenarios: Unit Testing, User Interface, Database, Installation
- Integrate with current CI tools for DNN Platform project (Azure devops)
- Cover both automated and manual testing
- Allow easy contribution of new test scenarios from the Community
- Guidelines on how to create new test scenarios
- Tutorials to setup testing environment
- No new features / PR / bugfixes allowed without a test case (automtic or manual)
- Training Community to embrace the testing of the platform

Something else I think would be interesting is adding some measurements for different KPIs so we can evaluate how this improves (or not) over time:
- Number of bugs reported by release (before / after)
- Number of bugs reported by area (before / after)
- Number of bugs reported by contributor

Count me in too, I already do, but whenever there is a better process in place, I am all for reporting my tests

I always run a test site before I do production. Usually upgrade test from the last version before I put them on production. Always something slips through the cracks.

I have a list of things I check if the upgrade process completes ok including:
Can I register a new user
Do I get emails
Can I edit pages
Do any modules act different that are most critical.
Can I edit portal sites
Can I create a portal site
Can I edit users
Can I Create a user
pretty much everything in the persona bar.
then just general browsing user administration activity.
Submit bug reports on github as best I can afterwards.
It would be nice if this was all broken down into groups and groups within this group could look after testing the different sets of DNN functionality. It sure would give me more confidence putting something new into production from DNN CE.

Count me in :)

This stuff always helps out the average user to be able to get included into helping out. Nearly all of tutorials have given me a clue as to how to make something happen or not happen in DNN. And I believe the collection of tutorials could be under "Resources" on the community site with links to all the great helpful tutorials categorized similar to how the forge is created.

• RESOURCES
  • Blogs
  • Documentation
  • Tutorials
  • Forums
  • Roadmap
  • Whitepapers

Tutorials could go anywhere just thought after documentation if you still need some more explanation on something a tutorial comes in handy.  If not a tutorial then go to the forums and ask.  Then maybe someone can make tutorials for common issues.

And a user rating system for the extensions and the tutorials so we can get the most popular first IMO should be added to the pages. Just a thumbs up is good enough like the forum.
