+<h3>Goals</h3>
+
+<p>As part of our on-going effort to improve the release engineering
+ process, we have identified several areas that need significant
+ quality assurance testing during the release candidate phase.
+ Below, we've listed the changes in &rel; that we feel merit
+ the most attention due to their involving substantial changes to the
+ system, or having arrived late in the development cycle leading up
+ to the release. In general, our goal in the QA process is to
+ attempt to check a number of things:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>The system has not regressed with respects to stability, correctness,
+ interoperability, or performance of features present in prior
+ releases.<br><br></li>
+
+ <li>New features result in the desired improvement in stability,
+ correctness, interoperability, or performance.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To effectively determine this, it's desirable to test the system in
+ a diverse set of environments, applying a wide set of workloads,
+ forcing the system to operate both within and outside its normal
+ specification. Particular focus should often be placed on the
+ continuing (or new) capability of the system to perform correctly
+ when used in concert with systems from other vendors.</p>
+
+<h3>Features to explore carefully:</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>There was a large merge of the USB code from RELENG_5 into RELENG_4.
+ This requires as much testing as possible to make sure that no devices
+ have regressed in stability or functionality.
+</ul>
+
+<p>The <a href="../../relnotes.html">release notes</a> will always be
+ a good place to look for things to test.</p>
+
+<h3>Known Issues</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>No known issues at this time.
