+QA policy is to try and recreate the bug, if possible, in order to confirm
+that the update fixes the bug it claims to fix.
+
+We also test that the primary functions of the package works.  For example,
+in an update for unetbootin https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443
+the update did what it stated it would do, by invoking consolehelper,
+but the package didn't work.  It wasn't a regression, but as the packages
+main feature didn't work, the update was not accepted until it was fixed.
+
+Every update is treated on a case by case basis, as to what testing will
+be done, taking into account things such as the impact it will have on
+inexperienced users if a problem does get pushed to updates.
+
+Something like a game, will get minimal testing.  Something like
+packagekit-command-not-found, which could seriously break a system
+will get extensive testing, and will be blocked until it is safe
+to use.
