+Not all testing cycles will use all the milestones available to us, though in general an LTS cycle will include them.
 While Daily testing is an on-going requirement, at times during a development cycle we approach //Milestones//. At those points the iso build is halted in order that a period of prolonged testing can take place.

 ==== Notes ====
-<sup>1</sup> If downloading the iso daily then it makes sense to use the link to the current iso, this being the latest iso at any point, perhaps in conjunction with an alias. For example one member of the QA team uses this 'image' alias to grab the daily for both the 32 and 64 bit iso's and to remove the zsync old file once done, changing the release name once a cycle, wily to xenial for instance:

 alias image='cd /mnt/Spare/iso/Xubuntu/Xenial/ && zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-i386.iso.zsync && zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync && rm /mnt/Spare/iso/Xubuntu/Xenial/*.zs-old'
 <sup>2</sup> You might find that your result gets edited, while there could be many reasons for this, it's possible that Xubuntu QA have un-failed your result, sometimes there is a fine line between a fail and pass and we might allow an issue under particular circumstances.
