Are you interested in contributing to Mozilla QA, being part of an awesome worldwide community and having your work seen by a <strong>lot<\/strong> of people? If so, read on because we\u2019re looking for help with a very cool new project.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla&#8217;s Quality Assurance (QA) team relies on community volunteers for help with a variety of things and would like to create a badge to recognize these contributors for their work. The following actions represent a small sample of the many different ways a community contributor could earn a General QA Participation Badge:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Participating in a Test Day<\/li>\n<li>Translating documentation<\/li>\n<li>Filing or updating bugs in Bugzilla<\/li>\n<li>Participating in product stability testing and crash investigation<\/li>\n<li>Running tools (like link checkers against Mozilla websites, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Submitting a pull request on Github for test automation<\/li>\n<li>Assuming responsibility for one round of manual testing in a project<\/li>\n<li>Completing a round of exploratory testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This General QA Participation Badge will serve as a guideline for other, more specific QA badges that will follow. The badge will also be part of the Open Badges Project (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.openbadges.org\/\">http:\/\/www.openbadges.org\/<\/a>) \u2013 a wider network of badges that are interoperable, shareable and contain metadata so people can easily learn more about how they\u2019re earned. The badge will go into a digital badge repository, and could be added to blogs using a WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla QA needs a visual designer to create this badge. Interested? You need not be a professional designer &#8211; we&#8217;d love to have anyone try their hand at creativity and submit their design.<\/p>\n<p><b>DELIVERABLES<\/b>:<br \/>\n* To submit designs, please upload your images to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\">Flickr<\/a> and <strong>tag them<\/strong> with <b>mozqabadges<\/b>.
