====== Tester Role ======

**Author:** Victor Boctor

  * Responsible for testing latest code in Subversion.  Testers should subscribe to mantisbt-cvs@lists.sourceforge.net and test the features as they are committed.
  * Responsible for pre-release testing including Wiki articles for documenting test cases.
  * Testing of alpha/beta/rc releases (e.g. 1.2.0a2).
  * Validating issues in the bugtracker by reproducing issues, adding more details, resolving duplicate or non-reprucible issues.  For example, there are a lot of issues in the bug tracker that are duplicates or are already fixed.  The older the issue, the more likely it is already covered.
  * Help with supporting other users of mantisbt-help mailing list, forums, and providing [[mantis_recipes]] on the wiki.
  * Subscribe to mantisbt-lang and mantisbt-dev mailing lists to be up-to-date with discussions relating to coming features and globalization changes.
  * Provide [[mantisbt:howto_submit_patches|patches]] for bug fixes.
