After a long summer vacation we're back with the Live Dev Blogs! First out is QA who will answer all your questions about Quality Assurance and what it is they do.
To participate in the Live Dev Blog you have to have EVE Voice active and join the in-game channel "Live Dev Blog". If you can't make it we will provide a downloadable copy of the chat on Friday and as soon as we can we will also add a transcript.
This is the questions thread, please do not discuss the Live Dev Blog here, just post your questions for the Devs!

Hooray for QA! Bug Hunting is tough work! I'd like to see bug hunting statistics on the EVE Online site as well I think everyone would be very surprised at the load we handle!

at 1st: thank you for not shutting us down 
and now some questions:
1. a) what over improvements are to be expected for the BR-section for players? i think most appreciate the new
system due to it's increase in communication between the BHs and the players.
b) will there be a push to increase the cmunication even more? (out-dated known issues, testing, in development
sections)
2. if you are familiar with the capability-maturity-model, at what stage do you see the development process at CCP?
3. what kind of tests are performed before the code hits Sisi or any other server for that matter (unit test etc.)?
4. are these tests defined before the coding starts?
5. a) what methods are used to calculate the time plan for development projects?
b) how accurate have they been in the past?
c) how many time (in %) is reserved for QA in each process? do these times fluctuate?
all other questions would violate the NDA, but i can poke you on IRC 
keep up the good work!

Looks like our qeustions dont get an answer at all. The dev live chat was all about heat and hardly about something else. So we stay in the dark with most of our qeustions.
looks like your a bit confused with past chats. The chat for this thread is about to start today evening.

I somehow have the feeling that people are getting confused with a general QA = questions and answers and QA= quality assurance.
Anyway one more question from me:
The latest dev blog stated, that ECAID will help with the localistaion of the clients. This is a very good thing!
So what kind of tools will be available for this?

Having been in the ISD BH team for 3 years now I have seen many changes.
1. What future steps have/will QA implement to further reduce the amount of bugs that slip through onto Tranquility and how do you see the Bug Hunting team will fit into this?
2. Something I have always been interested in knowing is how much of an impact does the Bug Hunting team affect the overall QA process.
Thanks

Don't forget that this is a QA Dev blog and not a Content Dev blog. QA tests the problems Content makes
