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.


{{Latest Releases | firmware = inline | devel = inline | rc = inline | livecd = inline |server = inline }}
=== Test Strategy ===
== Release info ==
There are many people and organizations who are helping out with the test effort for the '''XO''', network communications, the server, performance and system testing. This page will summarize all the test efforts and link to more details where ever possible.
=== Testing for release 11.3.1 ===
Testers are reporting test results on the testing [[Mailing lists|mailing list]] or by [[reporting bugs]].


They are ''not'' using [[Test group release notes]].
The open source community is providing a good test effort for much of the open source code. In our local test plans we need to concentrate on areas that are not easy or possible for the community due to lack of physical '''XO''', Server, or other OLPC specific equipment.
=== 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 ===
[http://dev.laptop.org/ Trac] is being used to track bugs found during test. We currently don't have a system for test case management, but we may want to implement something for that as well.
* [[10.1.3/Testing]] for [[:Category:Community testing]] of the [[Release notes/10.1.3|10.1.3 release]]
* [[Smoke_test/10.1.x/1_hour_smoke_test]]


=== Testing for major release 8.2.0 ===
The test group maintains [[Test_Group_Release_Notes|release notes]] about current builds.
* [[Release_notes/8.2.0#New_features_in_8.2.0|New features in 8.2.0]], on top of [[XO_Base_Features]] of 8.1.1
* [[TestPlan 8.2.0]]
* [[Test cases 8.2.0]], a set of test cases developed in the wiki
* [[TestResults 8.2.0]]


=== Testing for minor releases 8.1.x ===
== Release Criteria ==
* Release 8.1.3, [[OLPC SW-ECO 7]], More Amharic support
* Release 8.1.2, [[OLPC SW-ECO 6]], Nand-full, SD card corruption, support of C3 production boards
* Release 8.1.1, [[OLPC SW-ECO 5]], Amharic and Kreyol support
** [[Release_notes/8.1.1|Release notes for 8.1.1]]


=== Testing for release 8.1.0 ===
'''Trial-2'''
[[Release notes/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==
The release criteria for Trial-2 software is based on meeting the expectations of as many as 2000 children and teachers using OLPC products to evaluate whether this is the right product for their school/country. It is expected to be alpha level quality with no serious crash bugs. It is important to be able to demo some of the new features that make our product unique: collaboration both locally and with access to internet, good power consumption, great mechanics/hardware to meet environmental conditions, "open" product -- hardware, firmware, software, activities.
People interested in testing should join the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing Testing mailing list], which is also mirrored on an external [http://olpc.396210.n2.nabble.com/Testing-f1469263.html forum].


The awesome New Zealand testers use a very simple [[Activity testing template]].
With that in mind, we need to focus on a few good features to demonstrate 'explore', 'express', 'communicate', and 'collaborate' with good quality. This translates into the prioritized feature set for the Trial-2 milestone, which is found here:


* [[Systematic testing]]
'''< http://dev.laptop.org/milestone/Trial-2 >'''


Test beds:
* [[Creating a testbed]]
* [[Wireless Sparse Testbed]] - Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil
* [[Ejabberd resource tests/try_5]] school server jabber testing


''Older'' obsolete community efforts:
'''Trial-3'''
* [[Community testing]]
* [[Friends in testing]]
* [[Activity testing project]]
* [[Testing matrix]]
* [[Activity testing template]]


== Links of Interest to Testing ==
Trial-3 needs to meet our beta level expectations. Many more features and activities are demonstrable with collaboration and a solid journal/sugar UI. It is also key that we have activation and upgrades working well. This is the first step in our BitFrost security plan.
* [[Creating new test cases]]
* [[Test Config Notes]] - Links to configuration info that are useful in testing
* [[Test Group Release Notes]] - Quick info/smoke test on the latest builds. Read this before you bother to load a build
* [[Upgrading the XO| Different upgrade paths and which to use]]

** [[Peabody Setup]] - 100 laptop test setup in Peabody, MA
* [[Activation and Developer Keys]] - how to activate or get a developer key
* [[Scenario taxonomy]]
* [[Requirements]] (no longer used)


Equipment specs:
We will not be adding many new features (perhaps none) between trial-3 and first deployment, so we really need to focus on blocking and high priority bugs associated with basic features and functionality including mesh, connectivity, power management, and activities.
* Infrastructure_AP: Zoom 4400 AP+2 Wireless-G Access Point (Approx. $50 USD)

== 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 <tt><nowiki>{{#ask:&nbsp;...&nbsp;}}</nowiki></tt> markup.
For other examples of queries, see [[Testcase Query Examples]]

<!--
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

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.

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
