Community Engagement Results QA Testing 2014
Origin of Activity
In 2014, the board decided to downgrade all the flagship projects at the time to LAB status: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/owasp-projects-task-force/X2b9J1eSC5E
Some issues regarding this decision in the mailing list: http://lists.owasp.org/pipermail/owasp-testing/20140605/002322.html http://damonmiller513.blogspot.com/2014/04/my-thoughts-on-inevitable-esapi-demotion.html

Action taken
Budget was provided to major test all demoted projects (from Flaghsip to LABs) when the board decided that there were many projects that had a flagship status but many were lacking the quality they once had. Also there were projects at LAB status have not been reviewed yet , so they could also become flagship
Proposal for testing
A proposal was submitted for testing the projects using a clear criteria and QA approach https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Proposal_Project_Review_QA_Approach
Budget used
A budget of USD7000- was set aside for this purpose however only half was used thanks to donations: Original proposal: Proposal: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Proposal_Project_Review_QA_Approach
Community fund allocation as appears today. I would like to see this corrected https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Community_Engagement_-_Payments#2015_Community_Engagement_Allocations.2FPayments
Proposed Budget
- Jira account has been donated by Atlassian (thanks to Norman Yue)
- Ranorex Tool (1) license ==> USD 2,706.4(was donated by Ranorex)
- 2 Virtual Servers(1 Linux/1 Windows) (Leaseweb) USD 130/server for 6 months period per server/ ==> USD 262,-
- 1 tester @USD25/hour ==> Maximum hours 160==> Total USD 4,000-
Total budget proposed: USD 6968.4,-
Actual budget used
JIRA and Ranorex sponsored with license(no cost) We hired one tester for only half the time we budget(attached break down of hours tested, we only use 98 hours) Attached hours testing the builds of projects by tester: https://docs.google.com/a/owasp.org/spreadsheets/d/1_WRxMKrjbVLfctcQcg6oxAc8fymcqOfb7m3tVrB4Hsw/edit?usp=sharing
We had a VM machine with Jenkins/TeamCity server for a period of one year USD750 (setup by Jason Johnson) In the end we used half of this budget
*Payment to tester (98 hours) = USD2450,- *Payment VM machine Jenkings = USD750 *Payment VM machine for manual testing(Ranorex tool installed) =USD262
Total actually used:~USD3500
Results of Testing and further developments
October- November 2014
We used some of the reviews done in 2013 by the Advisor team:
Reviews Advisor team & Criteria: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1lOCxlYdf1AeUwzWlFfeWg0Mmc&usp=gmail
I did together a major review with Marios Kourtesis and other members , using this information of the reviews in 2013 for the major reviews done in 2014. Jason Johnson help us setting up also a VM with automated Jenkings so project leaders could build their projects automatically and check for errors, I also did some setup projects in this machine which we discontinue using afterwards due to maintenance issues. There were leaders using this tool and I on another VM machine with Marios for testing the projects which we setup for 3 months that we worked on testing. Norman Yuen helped us get a JIRA for better review process and communication

Openduck automation
We did a major automation using Openduck. We set in total 80 projects that were not registered: From there on was easier maintenance which Kait-Disney helped us review the basic criteria, managed the communication with project leaders, maintenance and setup with her the projects in Openduck for automated tracking: https://www.openhub.net/orgs/OWASP
2015 - Present
Kate helped us as support staff when Samantha and Kait-Disney stopped as staff. She helped on the major part of setting and helping new project leaders. Johanna Curiel and other members like Timo Goosen helped review some projects that required. Other members contributed with their input on the list. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Project#tab=Project_Task_Force
