Notice - As of August 1, 2016, the JBoss Tools Community Acceptance Testing (JBoss Tools CAT) will suspend operations. Many thanks to everyone who participated!
In place of the JBoss Tools CAT, we’d like to ask everyone who would like to contribute issues to JBoss Tools to enable the Eclipse Automated Reporting Interface (AERI) in JBoss Tools. You can read about configuring error reporting in JBoss Tools here.
Original JBoss Tools Community Acceptance Testing (JBoss Tools CAT) Documentation follows:
JBoss Tools CAT is an effort to obtain feedback from the JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio users that the features in early builds are working fine. This will help us asses the quality of the final release.
The goal of the JBoss Tools CAT is to get as much feedback on our Alpha, Beta and pre-GA builds as possible. We are looking for feedback on usability, stability, quality and performance for new features. Reports on any regression for any existing features that are already used is very important.

CAT Member responsibilities
What types of tests should you perform?
As a member of the JBoss Tools CAT team you are requested to give feedback on any two functional areas you choose to focus on. It is fully acceptable to only use the Beta and CR builds, but it is highly recommended and appreciated if you use and test the nightly development builds too.
So, select the features in JBoss Tools that you are most interested in, and start testing!
You can communicate to the JBoss Tools team and other CAT members via irc, mailing list or JIRA.
We may request additional input via surveys or online IRC meetings when JBoss Tools CAT is active and at the end of a release we will send a survey where you can express your opinion on whether the new features are ready for release and the features you depend on have not regressed.
What Happens to Bugs and Feature Requests?
The JBoss Tools CAT team managers will review and respond to all new bugs and feature requests.
