Main objectif: is a major release ok for release?
 
A major release is ok when (TBD):
* critical bug number < 5%
* major bug number < 20%
* new functionalities has been implemented

QA Cost (in persons/hours) for:

* delivered a test data package?
* running test cases

=Draft/Ideas/Opinion/Requirements/Notes=
* there is a big lack of Functional Specification and Use Case. Developers and experimented user will be able to write such document. Need to identify them.
* Test case should usually not be written by developers neither people writting functional specs.  Probably cannot follow this rule.
* We need to make a clear statement of the Moodle docs in order to make a difference between: User Manuals, Function Specifications, Technical Specifications, Requirements, ... and many mixed document. (The moodle docs are a powerful resource of information, however at the current time Google is your best friend in order to find information.)
* use JIRA tracking system: we will use Jira as Test Case Managment system. Jira as not been developed for Test Case Management system but can be use for manage simple QA environment. The main reason to use Jira is to use a software that the community is familiar with.
* JIRA as a Test Case Management System: We'll create a main issue containing thousand of sub-tasks. These subtasks will be Test Case.
