# Help test Mattermost’s Apps

### We’re excited to announce the launch of our Quality Assurance Contributors program!

### Not all contributors are developers so, if you like breaking software, have a keen eye for UI-related bugs and want to help report your findings, here’s how you can make an impact:

### 1. Join our [Contributors server](https://community-release.mattermost.com/signup_user_complete/?id=codoy5s743rq5mk18i7u5ksz7e) where you can interact with our team as well as other contributors

- Any questions? Post a message in the [~QA: Contributors channel](https://community-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/qa-contributors) at-mentioning @lindy.isherwood and she’ll gladly assist!

### 2. Review the repository, [https://github.com/mattermost/quality-assurance](https://github.com/mattermost/quality-assurance), for open issues detailing test assignments as well as exploratory or feature testing you can do

- Any questions? Add a comment to the issue, mention @lindy65 and she’ll respond to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, message her in the [~QA: Contributors channel](https://community-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/qa-contributors) on the Contributors server in 1) above.

### Contributor Levels:

| Level 3 - Guru | Someone who has surpassed level 2 and who we are considering as a core QA contributor (similar to how we award dev contributors with “core contributor” status) | QA
