'''Purpose:'''<br>
[[Test cases 8.2.0]] lists the test cases created for the recent [[Release notes/8.2.0|release 8.2.0]].
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.


Test results are in [[TestResults 8.2.0]]


The {{tl|Community testing}} navigation template is shown below:
'''Plans:''' <br>
{{Community testing}}
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.


<br clear="all" />
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.
The navigation template {{tl|Test-nav}} is shown below, it should be updated and many related pages need to be merged:
{{Test-nav}}


== 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.
'''If you want to help:'''
# Sign up on the bugtracking system: [http://dev.laptop.org/ Trac]
# Load the latest developer's build: [[autoreinstallation|Install/upgrade]]
# Choose a test plan [[User_Stories_Testing|User-Focused Test Plans]]
# Follow the steps.


All these test cases are in [[:Category:Test cases]] and most are listed by the queries in [[Test cases 8.2.0]].
If you find a bug you would like to log in trac, please follow these steps. Here is an example bug to look at: [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5156]:
# Log into Trac: [http://dev.laptop.org/ Trac]
# Use the search to try and determine if your bug has already been reported
# If a bug like yours is there, you can add notes about your instance of this bug in the add/change section.
# If you need to start a new bug, please try to include the following information:
#* A short, but descriptive title (think about what you just tried to search for)
#* What build you were running; both the OS and the firmware if you can
#* Description of what happened (if the title is not enough)
#* Steps to reproduce the bug -- this is really important and will save a lot of time if it is easy to reproduce
#* Add files or logs to help for debugging. See the [[Test Config Notes]] for info on how to turn on logging
#* Choose the component that you think is involved in this bug.
#* Choose the priority -- how important you think it is.
#* Leave the milestone as 'Never Assigned'. A triage team will review the bugs for priority and add them to the appropriate milestone.


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 ===
Now go to the [[Activity Testing Project]] to pick an activity to get started.


To add test categories to the pull down menu in [[Form:Test case]], modify
THANKS for your help!
[[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]]

===Testing at OLPC/Partners===


== Testing areas ==
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:
:''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
* [[User Stories Testing|User-Focused Test Plans]]

High level topics for "User stories testing" can be divided into a few major categories:


=== One Hour Smoke Test ===


# [[Smoke test]] links to the 1-hour smoke test for different releases, and other smoke tests.
Areas that we need to test in house (due to the use of special equipment and quantities of laptops) include:

* All keyboards. - [[Test_Keyboard_mappings|Test: Keyboard Settings]]
=== Networks ===
** Keys match the layouts designed
# [[Tests/100 laptops]]
** Language, keyboard, keymappings match the settings

** All language and keyboard settings are preserved across updates

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.

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
