Amarok currently has several open bug reports that have not been confirmed yet. The student should try to reproduce these bugs with the given steps and eventually ask for more details if the steps indicated in the bug are insufficient to reproduce the bug.

The tests should be made with the latest git version, as we are currently in the bug fixing period and a lot of changes are committed on a daily basis. Please see the links below on how to get the most recent git version in a local build.

Some of the bugs might need a special setup the student doesn't have (special media devices or a payed subscription to a service), these bugs should be skipped and the student should indicate the reasons in the report.

Prerequisites:

The student should have logic thinking, be able to follow exact steps. Previous experience with Amarok is a plus.
 

Task completion:
