If something goes terribly wrong (although we do not expect it to), close the application, and just replace the profile with the backed up copy. That will reset the application to the way it was before you started testing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/59vp2l\">some fixed tb-integration bugs that need to be verified<\/a>. You simply have to add a comment to the bug report stating what version and operating system you used while verifying the bug fixed.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of our last testday: 39 tests run and 11 marked &#8216;failed&#8217;. Many thanks go to karora, whose comments in the failed test cases let us file two new bug reports.<\/p>\n<p>Join us in the #calendar-qa IRC channel on Thursday.
