If you decide to test on your own, please try to make note of any bugs you have looked at, any test cases you have run, and any other info about your testing. When you're done, please email us at [1] with your results.
If you discover a bug or regression that you feel is critical, please let us know on the #testday IRC channel ASAP!
How do I file bugs?
First of all, let one of the moderators know so they can check if it is already a known problem. Then they can guide you to either provide more details, update an existing bug or file a new bug. If filing a new bug, please do a quick check to see if the bug already exists. This can easily be done by searching for the error message, window name, or some identifying feature of the bug.
Please check these list before filing any new bugs. They are likely not complete but a start:
