We aim to ensure that our entire community agrees with the following statements and strives to work with fellow testers on a professional and friendly, but also competitive and challenging, level:
We are a community of testers who work with each other, not against each other.
We are a community of testers who respect and acknowledge each other.
We are a community of testers excited by software testing and its many challenges.
99% of the times this works well. However, there might be cases where someone does not play by the rules.
You can report abuse when another tester:
behaves badly towards you
reports a bug he/she forced to happen
files a placeholder bug report
copies bugs from other testers
pre-testing
other
How to report a tester:
If you encounter any issues with another tester that require reporting, follow these simple steps:
1. Access the 'Report Tester' Button:
Click on the tester's profile picture anywhere within the platform (be it in Bug Reports, Test Chat, Test Case Executions, or any table displaying tester pictures) to reveal the 'Report Tester' button.
You can also find a 'Report Tester' button directly on the tester's profile page.
2. Fill Out the 'Report Tester' Form:
The form will be pre-filled with information like the Tester’s Screenname, Test Cycle ID, and Bug ID (if applicable), derived from the page you are currently on.
You will need to select a Violation Type from the dropdown menu: Bad Behavior, Forced Bugs, Placeholder Bug, Copying Bugs, Pre-testing, or Other.
Provide a comprehensive description of the issue in the Comments section.
Check the Submission Date, which should be set automatically to the current date.
3. Submit the Form:
After reviewing the information and ensuring that all necessary details are included and accurate, click submit to send your report.
