OLPC Sri Lanka QA Page

Testing teams have been organized by Sri Lanka to do a more comprehensive functional and regression testing. Functional testing is about ensuring that the OLPC XO functions as it was intended by the designers. This is different to usability testing that is typically carried out. However functional testing needs clear requirements and standards specifications, which the Sugar activities are often missing. Thus the initial part of functional testing was to gather the requirement specifications from the community in order to be able to write the test cases. You can find out more about this at the following references. [Ref: Requirements based Functional Testing, Types of Testing ]

Introduction

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Foundation affiliated with MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Labs in Boston creates educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.

Testing Engagement

The focus of testing for the Sri Lankan team has been functional testing. 800+ test cases have been captured after seeking input from the community on the expected functionality and from the various standards and documentation in the WIKI. You can find the detailed test cases and results of testing below.

Testing Process

Below is a depiction of the high level process we followed when testing the OLPCs.

Quick Start for new Testers

The following documents provide a packaged quick guide and reference for new testers who wish to quickly come upto speed with testing process for the OLPC. It contains much, specific to testing that has been extracted from the OLPC WIKI, community discussions, trial and error and some of the Virtusa best practices as well.
