Article feedback/Version 5/Testing

Welcome to our testing page for the Article Feedback Tool Version 5 (AFT V5)!

Thanks for helping us test the beta version of this new feature. Here are instructions on how you can contribute during phases 1.0 and 1.5 of this project in December 2011. You can also make suggestions in the talk page, as well as a file bugs in Bugzilla URL.

See also: project overview page, feature requirements page, interactive prototype, as well as technical design page, data and metrics plan.

Overview
We're looking for a few volunteers to help us test beta software for phase 1.0 of AFTv5. No special technical skills are required, though participants need to be methodical in their reporting. Of course, we would love contributors who already have some experience in software testing. A test plan is being developed with lists of things to check out, which we will be posting here shortly. If you have any questions, email okeyes@wikimedia.org.

Phase 1.0
Here are links to the key 1.0 modules we would like you to test first:


 * Option 1: Did you find what you were looking for?


 * Option 2: Share a suggestion, question, problem or praise


 * Option 3: Review this article

There is no direct link for this CTA. You have to complete one of the three feedback forms to see it. Please take the time to test that key deliverable.

Phase 1.5
Here are links to the key 1.5 modules we will want to test the following week:
