Testing & debuging

Beginning with the 10.0 development cycle, MandrakeSoft has expanded the
scope of testing beta releases. In addition to the traditional 'Bugzilla'
system, beta-testers now have the opportunity to use 'Testzilla' to ensure
that tests are performed consistently and accurately for main features.

Testzilla is a powerful new system for validating large-scale systems in a
collaborative way over the Internet. It is designed to work in
collaboration with Bugzilla and adds hardware coverage capabilities to the
testing process.

Use pre-existing test procedures to detect bugs Create new test procedures"
