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. If you want to help, please refer to the '''[[Community_Testing|Community Testing]]''' page for more details.
[[Test cases 8.2.0]] lists the test cases created for the recent [[Release notes/8.2.0|release 8.2.0]].


Test results are in [[TestResults 8.2.0]]

== Test cases and test results ==
Test Plan/Release Criteria for 8.2.0
Mid-2008 users including Femslade, Charlie, and Kimquirk created test cases for [[8.2.0]] that can be created and modified using a form.
This is a work-in-progress...
Testers can also use the same form to add testing results, see [[Reporting test results]].
Major test areas/features to be covered are:
Hardware/Firmware (robust behavior, ability to operate with user-oriented (touch-pad, keyboard, etc.) and external devices (mouse, etc.)
Power Management (Power Control & Conservation)
When the lid is closed or when the power button is pressed while Sugar is running, suspend in order to conserve power.
Resume from suspend in response to lid opening or power-button presses
Cut power by holding the power button for several seconds
Power off or reset the machine via the Central XO-person's Palette
Control screen brightness and suspend state from the root command-line
Control screen brightness with the brightness keys in Sugar


See, e.g. [[Tests/Activity/Write/Public_sharing]] as a sample.
Peripherals
Reliably store user data to and retrieve user data from FAT16/VFAT formatted USB Mass Storage devices.
Reliably store user data to and retrieve user data from FAT16/VFAT formatted SD/SDHC devices.
USB ethernet adapters, keyboards, and mice should function similarly to their normal function on other operating systems.
Login via serial consoles.
We do not have strong expectations about the behavior of other peripherals.
Firmware


All these test cases are in [[:Category:Test cases]] and most are listed by the queries in [[Test cases 8.2.0]].
Developer keys should grant access to OFW.
Should be able to flash any build from OFW.
Should be able to rewrite manufacturing data (e.g. language, write-protect tags) from OFW
Should respond to gamepad Cheat codes
Installation of Software (operating system, Sugar, activities) and firmware. Field upgrades.
W/ internet or preparation: install new activities and library content on a raw OS via the internet or via USB keys.
W/ internet: install new software via 'yum install' or 'rpm -U' on a raw OS via the internet. Data in /home should be PRESERVED.
W/ internet: olpc-update to new versions of the operating system via the internet. Data in /home should be PRESERVED.
W/ preparation: olpc-update to new versions of the operating system via USB. Data in /home should be PRESERVED.
W/ preparation: reflash appropriately signed builds via USB. NO DATA should be preserved.
Access the root account via the virtual terminals or via the Terminal activity (if present.)
Some downstream partners such as Uruguay intend to disable user access to the root account as part of their theft-deterrence plan.
Access to the firmware "ok" prompt w/ developer key, requestable through Browse and installable through the Terminal.
Sugar GUI
TBD
Datastore
Be able to display and edit DOC, ODT, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WAV, OGG, HTML, JS, some SWF, and several other less-well known formats.
We expect NOT to be able to display restricted formats including MP3, MPEG, most AVI, RM, FLV, etc.
Activities
Interact with one activity or "location" at a time
Switch between the current activity and other locations with the view keys or the frame
Switch between activities with Alt-Tab or the activity ring


In 2007 and early 2008, tests were just wiki pages, e.g. [[Tests/Browse]]. Those older test cases are mostly in [[:Category:Test Plans]] and/or [[:Category:Tests]].
Start new activities and stop running ones with the frame, ring, or activity toolbar.
Pippy, Record, and TamTam will be able to play and record sounds.
Pippy and Record will be able to take photographs.


=== Test case management ===
Record will be able to record short videos.


To add test categories to the pull down menu in [[Form:Test case]], modify
Measure will be able to measure signals with or without DC voltage bias.
[[Property:Test category]]


To add stream checkboxes to [[Form:Test case]], modify
Volume keys on the keyboard will adjust the speaker volume while Sugar is running.
[[Property:Build stream]]


To build queries that list test cases, edit [[TestCase Queries]] and copy the <tt><nowiki>{{#ask:&nbsp;...&nbsp;}}</nowiki></tt> markup.
Control audio volume with the volume keys in sugar
For other examples of queries, see [[Testcase Query Examples]]
Pictures can be composed with text in a system editor such as Write. (We actually expect Write to do a lot of other things.)
Fancier multimedia like video, audio, and programs can be manipulated in an environment like EToys.

These are tests for the builds, materials on them, networks, school servers, and any global synchronization. There is a [[Test activity]] being designed to make testing on an XO simple, and independent of the details of the backend that tracks test results.


Any volunteer who is willing to test should be directed to one single portal: [[Test_issues|Testing]], and s/he can choose which tasks s/he would like to execute. --Chih-yu, Jan 2008

#[[Tests/Groups view|Groups view]]
1 - Start activities at the same speed (including but not limited to all
#[[Tests/Neighborhood view|Neighborhood view]]
fructose activities)
#[[Tests/Frame|Frame]]
2 - Boot to home at the same speed.
3 - Cursor control the same, including number of XOs where it moves
without input or moves without correlation to finger on touchpad
3 - Connect to the same APs in the same time and with the same user
feedback. (e.g. blinks then shows white circle).
4 - Connect to active antennas in the same time and with the same user
feedback (e.g. blinks then shows white circle).
5 - Run all the same activities (can require activity upgrade within
documented bounds). Includes allowing activities to mesh the same way.
6 - Connect to mesh with the same number of XOs in the same time with
the same failure rate.
7 - Save and open files for all activities. Fructose activities at a
minimum otherwise all activities per 5 above. Including when journal has
thousands of entries.
8 - Use the same NAND space.
9 - Always boots up, especially when there is no space on NAND
10 - Open and close all activities per 5 above.
11 - Must support all languages and keyboards previously supported.
"support" means all previously translated strings still work in
activities and sugar. All language types work the same (e.g. RTL)
12 - No new cases where the XO crashes and needs hard reboot.
13 - No new cases where the cursor stops responding (AKA hangs) for more
than 30 seconds.
14 - Sound and video recording and playback must record at the same
rate. Must playback all the same kinds of files. Must playback with the
same quality (assuming all other variables constant, e.g. network,
RAN=M, disk space, etc.)
15 - Browse must render the same web sites as before. See also
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7421
16 - USB read, write, mount and unmount must work the same and for all
the same devices.
17 - Mouse and keyboard must connect and work the same
18 - Journal has the same capabilities.
19 - Must use the same or less power for the same user interaction
20 - Must have the same security mechanisms and be as secure as previous
releases.
21 - Must be installable in the factory and upgradeable from 656, 703
and 708 via USB or network.

The contents of this page are considered outdated and some of the information may be stale. Please use information here with caution, or update it.
  This page is monitored by the OLPC team.

The community and core team work through a slate of test issues for each major build and release. This page highlights the current tests being run, the testing process in general, and how to contribute your own results or bugs.



Release info

Testing for release 11.3.1

Testers are reporting test results on the testing mailing list or by reporting bugs.

They are not using Test group release notes.

Testing for release 11.2.0

See Test_cases/11.2 for information about testing the 11.2.0 release.

Testing for the 10.1.x releases

Testing for major release 8.2.0

Testing for minor releases 8.1.x

Testing for release 8.1.0

Release 8.1.0 was also known as "Update.1", see Update.1 tests for tests and Testing Update.1 Results.

Community testing

People interested in testing should join the Testing mailing list, which is also mirrored on an external forum.

The awesome New Zealand testers use a very simple Activity testing template.

The navigation template {{Test-nav}} is shown below, it should be updated and many related pages need to be merged:

Test cases and test results

Mid-2008 users including Femslade, Charlie, and Kimquirk created test cases for 8.2.0 that can be created and modified using a form. Testers can also use the same form to add testing results, see Reporting test results.

See, e.g. Tests/Activity/Write/Public_sharing as a sample.

All these test cases are in Category:Test cases and most are listed by the queries in Test cases 8.2.0.

In 2007 and early 2008, tests were just wiki pages, e.g. Tests/Browse. Those older test cases are mostly in Category:Test Plans and/or Category:Tests.

Test case management

To add test categories to the pull down menu in Form:Test case, modify Property:Test category

To add stream checkboxes to Form:Test case, modify Property:Build stream

To build queries that list test cases, edit TestCase Queries and copy the {{#ask: ... }} markup. For other examples of queries, see Testcase Query Examples
