The [[Activities]] on the XO have been developed by community members. Many of them are not well documented and there may not be much information on how to use them; so this testing can be described as 'Descriptive Testing', where you are helping to provide and/or correct the wiki pages that describe how an activity works. |

The XO software can be [[Emulation|emulated]] on a number of environments, which means many people are helping out with the testing at the unit and module level for software. Our partners who are closest to the hardware and firmware have provided test resources to test in areas that not accessible in the open source community. |
|||
See [[Community testing meetings]]. |
|||
There are also many people now from early trials or the developers program who have a laptop and can help out with testing on the hardware. We are working on the idea of a 'Test Activity' that loads test cases directly onto the XO; and sends test results back to olpc. More on that as it materializes. |
