+Testing New Releases and Updates
+================================
+
+Testing new Qubes OS releases and updates is one of the most helpful ways in which you can [contribute] to the Qubes OS Project.
+However, you should only attempt to do this if you know what you're doing.
+Never rely on code that is in testing for critical work!
+
+Releases
+--------
+How to test upcoming Qubes OS releases:
+
+ * Use [qubes-builder] to build the latest release.
+ * Test the latest release candidate (RC), if any is currently available.
+
+See [Version Scheme] for details about release versions and schedules.
+See [Release Checklist] for details about the RC process.
+
+Updates
+-------
+How to test updates:
+
+ * Enable [dom0 testing repositories].
+ * Enable [TemplateVM testing repositories].
+
+Providing Feedback
+------------------
+If you're testing new releases or updates, we would be grateful for your feedback.
+
+We use an [automated build process].
+For every package that is uploaded to a testing repository, a GitHub issue is created in the [updates-status] repository for tracking purposes.
+We welcome any kind of feedback on any package in any testing repository.
+Even a simple <span class="fa fa-thumbs-up" title="Thumbs Up"></span> or <span class="fa fa-thumbs-down" title="Thumbs Down"></span> on the package's associated issue would help us to decide whether the package is ready to be migrated to a stable repository.
+If you [report a bug] in a package that is in a testing repository, please reference the appropriate issue in [updates-status].
