<h2 id="what-is-quality-assurance-qa">What is Quality Assurance (QA)?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-quality-assurance-qa" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_assurance">Quality assurance (QA)</a> refers to the planned and systematic activities implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled.
QA doesn't require programming skills, so everyone can help us. If you are interested in doing QA, please join us.</p>
<h2 id="talk-to-us">Talk to Us<a class="headerlink" href="#talk-to-us" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>We coordinate our work on the <a href="/mailing-lists.html#qa-mailing-list-public">QA mailing list</a>.
Subscribe to this list if you want to follow our work.</li>
<li>We also have a <a href="https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Quality_Assurance">QA Wiki</a> that we use for planning and documenting our process.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="how-to-help">How to Help<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-help" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>We welcome QA volunteers and have several ways to get started:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are familiar with both QA work and with Apache-style open source projects, then you can probably
jump right in. Join the <a href="/mailing-lists.html#qa-mailing-list-public">QA mailing list</a> and introduce yourself and we can help you get started.</li>
<li>If you are familiar with Apache or similar open source projects, but new to QA, then you can look at our <a href="/orientation/index.html">Orientation Modules</a>.
You can skim over the first two levels, since much of this may be familiar. But spend more time on the
<a href="/orientation/intro-qa.html">Introduction to QA</a> module.</li>
<li>If you are new to QA and to open source development, then you may also want to start with our
<a href="/orientation/index.html">Orientation Modules</a>, and give attention
to the Level 1 and Level 2 topics, as well as the Level 3 Introduction to QA.</li>
</ul>
<p>In all cases, please join the <a href="/mailing-lists.html#qa-mailing-list-public">QA mailing list</a> and introduce yourself.</p>
