Testing
The community and core team work through a slate of test issues for each major build and release. This page highlights the current tests being run, the testing process in general, and how to contribute your own results or bugs.
For the latest tests, see Update.1 tests.

Testing teams
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. If you want to help, please refer to the Community Testing page for more details.
Also, the developers ask advanced users to try early builds with new features, see Friends in testing.
This is a sample of the test case format. Actual test cases, created in a different format, can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.0
Test results are reported here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestResults_8.2.0
Test area: Sugar Control Panel
| Number/Title | 1/Change Timezone | |
| Objective | Verify that the user can change their XO's timezone from the default UTC setting. | |
| Feature | Users are able to change their XO's timezone to match the local time without having to go into a terminal to do so. | |
| Source | http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel#Date_.26_Time] | |
| Approach | Act as an end-user trying to change the XO's timezone to match the local time. | |
| Test Tools | No test tools required. | |
| Test Setup | One XO laptop running an 8.2.0 (pre-)release build. | |
| Test Procedure | 1. Open the graphical Sugar Control Panel from the Home view. 2. Click on the "Date & Time" panel. | |
| Expected Results & Pass Criteria | The timezone for the laptop has been changed correctly and the timezone is represented properly by the 'date' command. | |
