== 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
=== Test Strategy ===
[[Property:Build stream]]


To build queries that list test cases, edit [[TestCase Queries]] and copy the <tt><nowiki>{{#ask:&nbsp;...&nbsp;}}</nowiki></tt> markup.
'''Purpose:''' <br>
For other examples of queries, see [[Testcase Query Examples]]
The purpose of testing is to measure and document the quality of a product.

== Testing areas ==
:''These "User stories" tests date from 2007-2008''
<!--
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
'''Plans:''' <br>
-->
The XO software can be [[Emulation|emulated]] on a number of environments, which means many people are helping out with the testing at the unit and module level for software. Our partners who are closest to the hardware and firmware have provided test resources to test in areas that not accessible in the open source community.
High level topics for "User stories testing" can be divided into a few major categories:


=== One Hour Smoke Test ===
There are also many people now from early trials or the developers program who have a laptop and can help out with testing on the hardware. We are working on the idea of a 'Test Activity' that loads test cases directly onto the XO; and sends test results back to olpc. More on that as it materializes.


# [[Smoke test]] links to the 1-hour smoke test for different releases, and other smoke tests.
User-focused test plans are being developed for all the basic features of the laptop, for many of the activities, and for the interaction with the school server, collaboration, connectivity, etc. Please follow this link to read, review, and help create test plans:

=== Network/Time Sync ===
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.


# [[Tests/Time sync]]
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:
# [[Tests/Network mgr]]


=== SchoolServer ===
'''< http://dev.laptop.org/milestone/Trial-2 >'''




===In-house testing (from 2007?) ===
'''Trial-3'''
''Old''?


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


* All keyboards. - [[Tests/Keyboard_mappings|Test: Keyboard Settings]]
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.
** Keys match the layouts designed
** Language, keyboard, keymappings match the settings
** All language and keyboard settings are preserved across updates
* Languages - [[Tests/Language_settings|Test: Language Settings]]

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
