If I become NetCAT tribe leader, what will my tasks be?
The most important time for a tribe leader is when NetCAT enters the full testing phase of the new version. S/he should consider the strengths amongst Tribe leader's role is to distribute the functionality his/her tribe members and distribute the functionality to be tested accordingly among those tribe members who agree to the full testingis focusing on among members of their tribe to achieve maximum testing coverage. The full testing typically takes several weeks. During that period tribe leader should check progress with individual members, keep them motivated until the end of the full testing, help them resolve potential issues along this struggle and communicate with NetCAT coordinator, particularly when obstacles arise. This coordination could take an hour or two every week. Tribe leaders should perform tasks similar to the above during certifications of milestone builds (Beta, Release Candidate build, Final Release build). However, these certification periods are each just a few days longdo similar coordination during certification of the final GA candidate build which however takes just a few days.
According to Release Criteria tribe leaders have two special privileges:
- S/he can label a bug with WAIVER tag after reaching consensus within her/his tribe.
- S/he can label a bug with BLOCKER tag after reaching consensus within her/his tribe. Only 3 such open bugs can be labeled this way at a time.
Additionally, it is much appreciated if tribe leaders organize a review of the test specifications for their tribe will use functionality and together try to update these if time permits before Beta full testing.
