A Word about our Community
As with previous testdays, the contributors were asked to voluntarily fill out a survey. The results of this survey seem to highlight some common metrics from our testing community:
- majority reside outside of the US
- many speak English as a second language
- most people hear about the event through QMO
- people participate out of a genuine desire to “make Firefox better” and to learn something about testing
- the number of newcomers is nearly equal to the number of repeat contributors
Thank you everyone who took time to fill out our survey. The data collected is really helping us gain a better understanding of the people who make up our community.
Thanks again to all those who helped out. See you next testday!
