Join in the Testing Effort
The Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka beta has just released and we need your help to spot and squash any bugs that may have crept in before the big release day. Testing is fun and easy! Start by simply downloading one of the various beta images (Found below), perform the variety of the relevant test cases found on the ISO Tracker and report your results. Tests can be performed in a virtual environment or directly on hardware. Testers can perform as few or as many test cases as they like.
Chat with fellow Testers
Testing is a community effort and a great opportunity to meet your fellow Ubuntu enthusiasts. Start chatting about your test findings on the Ubuntu Testing Matrix Space, on the Ubuntu Testers Telegram Group or on the #testing-cycles channel on the Ubuntu Hideout Discord server.
Download Beta Images
Below you will find links to the beta images for Ubuntu and its various official flavours. Please take note of the architecture you’re downloading as test cases may be different for each.
Ubuntu Flavours are an important part of our ecosystem and also rely on community testers to ensure their releases are stable and ready for general use. While their testing process is typically very similar to Ubuntu, it’s important to follow their community’s additional testing guidance.
