Builds of interest
See OS images for build streams, release candidates, joyride builds, etc.
For latest activities, run Software update in Sugar Control Panel, or download individual Activities.
Older builds and activities

Notes and minutes
- Testing meetings - Weekly meetings of interested test people, usually Thursdays
Test cases 8.2.0 lists the test cases created for the recent release 8.2.0.
Test results are in TestResults 8.2.0
The {{Community testing}} navigation template is shown below:
The navigation template {{Test-nav}} is shown below, it should be updated and many related pages need to be merged:

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

Old?
Areas that we need to test in house (due to the use of special equipment and quantities of laptops) include:
- All keyboards. - Test: Keyboard Settings
- Keys match the layouts designed
- Language, keyboard, keymappings match the settings
- All language and keyboard settings are preserved across updates
- Languages - Test: Language Settings

- WPA - Richardo/Michailis
- WEP - Richardo/Michailis
- Mesh - upgrade under loaded network - Scott
- Suspend/resume - Wad - Test: Suspend/resume
- Scaling/performance
- Jabber server scaling - OLPC/Collabora
- Link local presence (Salut) - OLPC/Collabora
- Journal/datastore
- Upgrades /backward compatibility

Other test plans
- 802.11s Connectivity Test Plan - Connectivity, wifi protocol from 2007
- File:B3-B4 OLPC Test Plan.xls - Low level test plan from 2007
Tinderbox Testing - automated testing for each build(outdated) --Chihyu 13:58, 29 January 2008 (EST)- XMPP collaboration and scalability testing - XMPP collaboration and scalability testing
- see Category:Tests and Category:Test Plans TODO: These older test plans should be marked obsolete or merged into test cases.
Schedule
Please see the official roadmap (from the trac main page) for schedule dates and features for each release.
Test setups
This section covers generic ways to set up before running different kinds of tests. (These are not specific test cases, but can be used as shorthand references to common procedures that are used across many test cases.
