Test cases 8.2.1

Introduction

This is the test plan page for the 8.2.1 release. A large part of it is based on the tickets given in the ECO.

Mel Chua is the test manager for the 8.2.1 release; please contact Mel with any questions, criticisms, concerns, ideas, and test results you might have. The preferred way for doing so is emailing questions to the testing mailing list and ccing mel at laptop dot org.

See Friends in Testing to download the latest build under test.

Status

See the page on the role of a test manager for more information about these two questions.

• Are we done yet? 0 out of 17 tickets (0%) have been verified as closed in the release candidate build.
• What are the risks? The largest current risk is that we do not know potential areas of risk, but connectivity is a potential regression area. (This question will become more important as the answer to "Are we done yet?" gets closer to "we think so.")

Help unblock testers!

These are things we need - things that are actively blocking our ability to test the 8.2.1 release. If you can get us these resources, it would be a great help - if you clear a blocker, please email the testing mailing list and cc Mel (see #Introduction) so that we're all informed.

• We need a build to test
• For each build we're expected to test, we need a build changelog.

Things testers need to do

• Each ticket needs to be examined (talk with developers!) for areas of potential risk/exploration, and additional test cases for those areas should be added.
• The smoke test needs to be turned from 4 hours down into 1 hour through whatever means we can find, without reducing coverage.

Tests

Smoke tests

Test results are not reported below. These are the tests that should be run on every build before it is listed as the build to test at Friends in testing.

{{#ask: Test category::SmokeTest

Test case	Short name	Test objective	Add test result
?Short name	?Test objective	format=template	template=test-case-query	default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Test category of SmokeTest?! }}

Network Tests

{{#ask: Test category::Network

Tickets for this build

Every test case that has a result for Property:Build stream 8.2.1 and also has a Property:Trac bug number — the ticket may be for a test result for a completely unrelated release!.

{{#ask:

 Build stream::8.2.1 Trac_bug_number::+
 | ?Build stream
 | ?Trac bug number
 | link=subject
 | default=No test cases found for Property:Build stream 8.2.1 with a Property:Trac bug number !?

}}

Test results

Note! The values in the different columns are unrelated. Just because a build and "Fail" are on the same row doesn't mean that's the failing test result. You have to look at the original test case to see what values are from the same test result.

{{#ask: Test category::SmokeTest

 |?Build stream
 |?Build number
 |?Trac bug number
 |?PassFail
 |link=subject
 |default=Nothing in Category:Test cases found with Test category::SmokeTest?!

{{#ask: Test category::Network

 |?Build stream
 |?Build number
 |?Trac bug number
