Test meeting, July 2, 2007

Attending: Zack, Wad, Scott, Cameron, John Fuhrer, Mitch, SJ, Kim

• Marvell's Laptop test plan
  • We reviewed the test plan from Ronak and discussed the difficult parts: configuring the mesh to ensure specific paths and then change those to get a different configuration.
  • Not sure of the benefit to repeating MPP discovery and pinging 10,000 times; but probably hundreds of times could be good.
  • There was some discussion as to whether all the laptops downloading a 300MB file is a good (realistic) test.
  • The test where the laptops are sending files to the school server is very unlikely to be a 300MB file, so this one should probably be much smaller.

• 100 Laptop Test Plan
  • Add a test case for updating 100 laptops from the school server.
  • Add a test to backup 100 laptops to the school server. We discussed the backup procedure and decided that this needs to be on a 1 hour cronjob (at least for Trial-2).
  • Add a test to restore laptops from the school server.
  • Add a test to download a book from the internet as well as the school server.
  • Add a test to download something from many different urls (not cached)
  • Some test cases should be repeated with one mesh channel; and with 3 mesh channels
  • Add a test case to use the neighborhood mesh view to search/filter.

We briefly discussed the first release candidate, RC1, and some of the issues.

NOTE:
As of the next build, Tuesday, we will be using the latest marvell firmware, which is incompatible with earlier versions. So 406.15 will NOT talk to 406.16+; and 478 will NOT talk to 479+. Also the school server at olpc has already been upgraded - so nothing in the office talks with it right now. Tomorrow, we should be able to upgrade all XOs in the office.
