Mediawiki group: Features testing
This group welcomes anyone interested in validating and reporting on the behavior of new features in Wikipedia software, either freshly deployed or under development. Participants will likely come from a number of constituencies and have different but compatible concerns, for example:


 * Editors of Wikipedia with a vested interest in the behavior of the software they use in ongoing work.
 * Maintainers of Wikipedia interested in keeping the site running smoothly.
 * People interested in Wikipedia software on mobile devices
 * People new to the Wikipedia community interested in improving their understanding of Wikipedia software by examining its newest features closely.
 * Software testing specialists interested in sharing or improving their test skills, who are not necessarily active in the Wikipedia community.

An example of the sort of project in which this group would participate: Echo Testing

Some historical examples:
 * Iterative deployment (historical) QA/WTA_Test_Plan
 * AFT (historical) QA/Article_Feedback_Test_Plan

Endorsements

 * I am helping creating this group because I think it fits perfectly in our QA & Testing goals and also in the idea of MediaWiki thematic groups.--Qgil (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
