Dear developers and testing volunteers, |
|||
We are initiating a large-scaled testing on Update.1 release |
|||
candidates for the next two weeks, and we need your help! |
|||
As of 1/30/2008, the latest Update.1 build is 690. Build 690 is |
|||
unsigned, so you will need a developer key (or an unsecured machine) |
|||
to help testing. |
|||
In the long run, we constantly have to test the latest |
|||
software/firmware builds, as well as individual activities, so your |
|||
help will always be greatly appreciated! |
|||
(1) What can I do to help? |
|||
For developers, please create test cases for the activities you |
|||
developed, following the format of existing test cases: |
|||
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Test_plans (click on the articles |
|||
starting with "Tests/") |
|||
You can also help revise the existing test cases, so that it's easier |
|||
to test the core issues and to report the results. |
|||
For testing volunteers, please test the cases listed in |
|||
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update.1, |
|||
or choose some test plans from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Test_plans, |
|||
and then post the results in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update.1#Test_Results |
|||
(you might have to scroll to the bottom to locate the table entries) |
|||
(2) Do I need an XO? |
|||
If you have an XO, please read http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestMtg%2C_2008-01-28 |
|||
and download the latest build. |
|||
If you don't have an XO, please follow the instructions to run a |
|||
virtual XO on your regular computer: |
|||

|||
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Emulating_the_XO |
|||
(3) Communication Channels |
|||
Please take advantage of the IRC channel (freenode.net #olpc-qa) and |
|||
the mailing list (testing at lists.laptop.org) if you have any questions, |
|||
concerns, or suggestions about QA testing. If you have not signed up |
|||
to the mailing list, please do! |
|||
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing |
|||
We also plan to have testing meetings whenever necessary. Past meeting |
|||
minutes are posted at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_meeting_Minutes |
|||
(4) There are too many URLs. I'm lost! |
|||
Check out the "links of interest" at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_issues |
|||
Our major focus for the next two weeks: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update.1 |
|||
For all the existing test plans, check out |

Thanks in advance for your support! |
