This should take less than one hour to do. See [[smoke test]] for more.

== Useful Links ==
* [[Test Config Notes]] (information on how to configure laptops for different tests)
* [[Test Network Configuration]] (detailed information on how to check your network configuration)

* [[Things to test after updates]] (These tests should be run when we get to a good candidate release)

== Start-up ==
# insert battery into laptop,
# open laptop and tilt screen to operating position,
# start the laptop by pressing the power button,
# '''verify''' power LED and panel backlight appears, followed by boot animation (XO icon, ring of dots, Fedora remix logo),
# wait for the laptop to boot to Sugar,
# '''verify''' that the activity ring is displayed,
# XO-1 only: '''verify''' the laptop [[Network_Configurations|connects]] to one of the following (whichever one is highest on the list and available to the laptop); a school server, a preferred access point, an MPP, or a local mesh. ''If there is a school server present, the laptop MUST be tested against the school server. If it cannot connect to the school server, that is a major failure.''
# XO-1.5 only: '''verify''' the laptop is not connected (the wireless LED will be off), and then connect manually to a nearby access point.

== Try out a few Activities ==

Test that activities can be opened and closed, that the microphone captures sound, that the speakers emit sound, that the volume control works, that the privacy indicators light, that the camera captures an image, and that the Journal can be used to save and restore previous work.

== Trying different Connection Types ==
=== School Server ===
(this requires being in a location close enough to a school server)

''Actions''
# The laptop should boot up and connect to the school server by default if you are near one.
# If you don't want to reboot to connect, click on the Mesh Network Channel, which the school server is on, in the mesh view.
# Wait for the inner part of the circle to stop blinking, and the outer part to start connecting (testing 8.2 just hover your cursor to ensure connection).
#* This means it has connected to that portal point.
## To check your connection, go to terminal one. (ctrl alt mesh)
## At the login, type "root", and then type olpc-netstatus. (for newer build, type "olpc" instead of "root")
## Note whether the result of Telepathy is salut or gabble.
# Go to the mesh view (ctrl alt home and then mesh)
# Note the XO's you see. Are they laptops around you, or ones most likely beyond the reach of the laptops wi-fi.
# Do the same with a second or third laptop to ensure that it's in the same configuration.

''Verify''
* The laptop connects to the school server by default after reboot.
* (alternatively) The laptop connects to the school server if you click on its portal point in the mesh view.
* The result of running olpc-netstatus is:
** IP msh0 :
*** 172.x.x.x(172.18.x.x when connected to the School server in OLPC offices)
*** 192.168.x.x
*** 10.x.x.x
** Config : School server
** Telepathy :
*** salut (means failure to connect to a jabber server
*** gabble (then the result of Jabber is : {name of jabber server you're connected to}
* If you're running salut, you only see laptops that are around you and also connected to the same server.
* If you're running gabble, you see laptops connected to the same jabber server.
* NOTE: laptops running gabble cannot see laptops running salut and vise-versa.

== Filling up the Journal ==

''(OPTIONAL: can take a long time. Once a script is written to fill up the journal, this test will be easier to do)''

''Actions''
# Take many pictures with the Record Activity.
# Add the picture that's on the clipboard many times to the journal.
# Open other activities, do one thing, and close them.
#* Do these things until you have 200 items in the Journal.
#* To count the number of items, go to the terminal, and type: ls /home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore/store/ | wc -l
# Reboot the laptop.

''Verify''
#*The Journal does not crash (give a blank screen)
#*The laptop does not slow down significantly.
#*Booting into X does not take much longer than normal.

== Suspend/Resume due to Cover close ==
'''NOTE: should only be done on laptops with production ECO or MP build'''

''Actions''
# Close the laptop almost fully. (just to the point where the screen goes blank)
#* Another way of achieving the same result is pressing the power button. Pressing the power button again will bring the machine out of suspend
# Open and close the laptop repeatedly
#* Maybe five or six times
#* Wait for the laptop to come out of suspend each time before closing it again.
#* If the laptop does not come out of suspend on open, try pushing a few buttons and/or touching the mouse pad.

''Verify''
* The laptop comes out of each suspend successfully.
* The laptop never hangs in suspend or reboots itself when coming out of suspend.
