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.

Also, the developers ask advanced users to try early builds with new features, see [[Friends in testing]].

== 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]].
''This is temporary place for a sample of the test case format. Actual test cases, created in a different format, can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/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]].

The contents of this page are considered outdated and some of the information may be stale.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

Comments at Semantic MediaWiki#Issues for Test cases.

Areas that we need to test in house (due to the use of special equipment and quantities of laptops) include:

  • All keyboards. - Test: Keyboard Settings
    • Keys match the layouts designed
    • Language, keyboard, keymappings match the settings
    • All language and keyboard settings are preserved across updates
  • Languages - Test: Language Settings
  • Firmware
    • WPA - Richardo/Michailis
