Hi all
On the topic of testing and testing teams:
We really don't need an organized group of individuals looking for bugs just yet. The bugs are more than obvious to the developers - and people who try out ReactOS don't exactly hold back when they notice something not working properly.
What we really do need is an organized group of individuals writing regression tests. This is not as hard as writing code for ReactOS itself - but still very important. When code is modified it very likely introduces new bugs that may not be immediately obvious - we need regression tests to keep this in check. There is a framework, but there's a ton of work to be done.
Cheers Jason

Yes we also need to make sure we dont spend years rewritting tests that already exist in the WINE regression test suite. We need to make some minor changes to our regression suite to allow for people to write WINE style regression tests for Win32 componates so we can share code and dump most of the existing tests in reactos/apps/tests.
Thanks Steven

Then, there should be set a compatible framework and create some sort of documentation on this, for people like me, that could help with this, but are not aware of wine "code style". I think you should set up a list of regtests to be done and hopefully someone( consider me in ) could do this job.
