Introduction

This page is a list of tools that are used in OLPC community testing.

OLPC-specific tools

These are tools designed specifically for OLPC-related testing.

• Tinderbox
• Sugarbot (not yet OLPC-maintained, but probably should be... or SugarLabs maintained, at least.)
• Scripts for testing multiple XOs

General tools

These are tools that have been repurposed for OLPC-related testing.

• dsh (dancer's shell) - distributed (ssh) shell, used to monitor large testbeds

Resources and discussions

• Activity testing automation

Tools to investigate

Have an idea for a good tool that might be useful to OLPC testing? Post it here! Want to adapt a tool for OLPC testing use? Pick one from here!

• X Window System event scripting - needs investigation, and if useful, cleanup.
• Test automation - should be split into subpages; this page name should contain other content (probably act as a hub for redirects on automated testing).
• Testing checklist - should be folded back into Tinderbox; this page name should contain other content.
• Optical character recognition - needs evaluation. Is this useful? Are there easier ways to do the same?
