# Open Source Contributors : Code Review & QA

> Your eye for quality is worth something. Reviews and QA slots are paid work.

You don't have to write new features to contribute meaningfully. Reviewing code and testing features is as important.

### Two Roles

[**Code Reviewer**](https://docs.gooddollar.org/for-developers/open-source-contributors-code-review-and-qa/code-review) — You read PRs, check logic, flag issues, and approve or request changes. A first-review trial applies: your first review is evaluated by a maintainer before payout is approved. One-time gate — once passed, you're treated as an established reviewer.

[**QA Tester**](https://docs.gooddollar.org/for-developers/open-source-contributors-code-review-and-qa/the-qa-process) — You test features against acceptance criteria, produce a demo video, and report bugs. No prior PRs required. <br>
