&lt;div&gt;=Quality Assurance=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section of this wiki is about helping to increase the quality of different versions of VideoLAN&#039;s products, and mainly [[VLC media player]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Why this page ?==&lt;br /&gt;
===Main idea===&lt;br /&gt;
There is not much yet on this page, but the idea is to develop &#039;&#039;test protocols&#039;&#039;, regroup &#039;&#039;test files&#039;&#039;, and at the end improve the whole quality of VLC, to avoid &#039;&#039;regressions&#039;&#039; and check &#039;&#039;roadmaps.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who is concerned===&lt;br /&gt;
The community of VideoLAN&#039;s numerous users and developers can enforce the project by doing systematic tests and report bugs and regressions. Some projects rely on a lot of external code that evolves a lot. Being &#039;&#039;&#039;numerous&#039;&#039;&#039; can help to make it better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bugs===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;bugs&#039;&#039;&#039; should be tracked down and killed using [http://trac.videolan.org &#039;&#039;&#039;trac&#039;&#039;&#039;].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Why should you get involved ?==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039;&#039; we are, the more bugs are spotted, the better VLC is !&lt;br /&gt;
Easy, ain&#039;t it ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if &#039;&#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039;&#039; help, everyone will be a winner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How can you get involved ?==&lt;br /&gt;
Use this talk page or contact; for a start [[User_talk:J-b]] (this will change).&lt;br /&gt;
Then, just run the tests and modify this wiki&#039;s pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bug reporting===&lt;br /&gt;
Use trac to do these.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Urgent==&lt;br /&gt;
* Prepare the tests for VLC 0.8.6&lt;br /&gt;
* Gather original and references video and audio files&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=VLC=&lt;br /&gt;
Motto: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s improve VLC !!!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tests to run==&lt;br /&gt;
You want to help testing VLC ? There are a few tests that you can handle:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* VLC playback tests (codecs and files related) Win32 and MacOS focused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* VLC functionality tests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* VLC transcode and streaming tests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Files==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Official files ===&lt;br /&gt;
All those files should be tested inside the reference FTP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ftp://streams.videolan.org/streams-videolan/reference/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use that structure to create the reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== More files ===&lt;br /&gt;
Where to search for more files:&lt;br /&gt;
* MPlayer&#039;s [http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/ MPlayer&#039;s FTP]&lt;br /&gt;
* References codecs pages usually, linking to those should be enough...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Versions roadmaps==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 0.9.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
0.9.0 should be the first version to review now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== NB ====&lt;br /&gt;
Use the latest NB, 20070425 or newer to run your tests And report.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://nightlies.videolan.org/ Here] you can download experimental versions of VLC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
