titleWORK IN PROGRESS
Currently this is pretty much a straight copy from the DSpace 5 Testathon page. Will be edited prior to the testathon.

Welcome to Testathon 6.0!

...

WHAT: Help beta-test DSpace 6.0 to ensure that it passes its ultimate test: that it does what users expect it to. We've added new features (see Release Notes and Changes in 6.x) that could use more eyes, browsers, and mouse-clicks to make sure that things aren't missing, that they don't break, that they don't lose your data, and that they easily do what one expects them to do. So if any features have issues while your testing it, click the "Feedback" button and tell us about it.

WHEN:   December 1st to December 11, 2015Monday, April 25 through Friday, May 6, 2016. You can keep visiting the site and post your feedback, as part of continual improvement.

...

HOW: Go to http://demo.dspace.org and test-drive one of the DSpace User Interfaces, such as JSPUI or XMLUI. If anything comes up while you are testing DSpace, you can click the blue "Feedback" button on the page (which creates a new ticket in our DSpace Issue Tracker). We're looking for feedback on the DSpace software, as well as feedback on our unreleased 6.0 documentation.

Test Plans: New for the 6.0 Testathon, our DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) has created public test plans for both the XMLUI and JSPUI. We encourage you to add your observations and tests to these plans. Tests are organized by user-role, where each user role is represented as a tab in these spreadsheets. Each of the tabs has a "Role Manager" who will help out with reviewing your feedback and keeping these test plans clean and consistent.

Questions?  Ask them on our DSpace Tech Support list (https://groups.google.com/d/forum/dspace-tech) or #dspace IRC (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/IRC)

For a list of what's new in DSpace 6.0, see the Release Status Page.the Release Notes!

Updated Documentation for 6.0

There are substantial upgrades to the DSpace documentation for version 6.0. Volunteers are needed to review it for clarity and accuracy. Visit the DSpace 6.x Documentation page for more info.

Test Plans

Anyone is welcome to execute tests that are defined in the official JSPUI and XMLUI Test Plans. The reports in these plans should be based on observations with tests on demo.dspace.org. If you found a problem with one of the tests in your own local installation of DSpace 6, please always verify this behaviour on demo.dspace.org before reporting your feedback.
