Sri Lanka Testers

OLPC Sri Lanka QA Page

Testing teams have been organized by Sri Lanka to do a more comprehensive functional and regression testing. Functional testing is about ensuring that the OLPC functions as it was intended by the designers. This is different to usability testing that is typically carried out. However functional testing needs clear requirements and standards specifications, which the OLPC activities are often missing. Thus the initial part of functional testing was to gather the requirement specifications from the community in order to be able to write the test cases. You can find out more about this at the following references. [Ref: Requirements based Functional Testing, Types of Testing ]

Introduction

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Foundation affiliated with MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Labs in Boston creates educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.

Virtusa Engagement

Virtusa Colombo Test Engineering Office in collaboration with Virtusa Global Technology office has started giving Test Engineering support for OLPC Foundation, US.

Virtusa Process

When we are testing a product as a team we have to share our knowledge and have gather requirements much as we can. Usually we had a conference call every Tuesday at 9.30am. We have mentioned the process how we are testing.
