Create New Test Cases

First review the set of test cases that already exist Test_cases_8.2.0#Test_cases. Some of them are stubs to be filled out and others include procedures. Also review the category and sub-categories being used to choose your test case name.

  • Use /Tests/category/sub-category(as needed)/testname as the name of the new test case
  • Use the following categories:
    • Tests/Boot/, Tests/Network/, Tests/Upgrades/, Tests/Journal/, Tests/SugarUI/, Tests/SugarControlPanel/, Tests/Power/, Tests/Peripherals/, Tests/Activity/, Tests/XS/ (school server), Tests/I18N/, Test/SmokeTest/

The form has several fields for you to fill in. Here is what they are used for:

  • Name of the test case: Short description of the test case.
  • Category: The category this test case falls under. Select the value you used for the <category> part of the name for the new test case.
  • Sub-category: The sub-category this test case falls under. Select the value you used for the <sub-category> part of the name for the new test case.
  • Stream: What stream of builds does this test belong to? Is it specific to Joyride? Update.1? Any stream?
  • Build: If this test is for a specific stream, what is the earliest build number that it applies to? (optional field)
  • Component being tested: What is the activity or feature of the XO that this test case is for?
  • Wiki link to the feature: Text field.
  • Summary: A brief description describing what functionality the test case is intended to verify.
  • Tools: Do you need any special tools for the test? In most cases, the answer will be no.
  • Setup: Do you need the laptops to have specific builds or activities? Do the laptops explicitly need to be registered (or not) with a schoolserver?
  • Procedure: The steps the tester must take to finish the test case.
  • Expected results: What should happen if everything is working as expected? What must happen for a run-through of this test case to be considered a pass?
  • Notes: Anything else that doesn't fit in the other fields.

Add Test Results

When creating a test case with the form, you can also add test results if you're running through the test case as you write it into the form by clicking on the "add another" button under the test case form. Here are what the fields are for:

Tested Release
What release build was this? 8.1.1? 7.1.0? A Release Candidate?
Tested Stream
What build stream was used? Joyride? Update.1?
Tested Build
What is the build number that was used?
Pass/Fail
Did the test pass or fail?
Associated trac tickets
List the trac tickets associated with this test if any were filed.
Comments
How did the test fail? A short description of what went wrong.

You can also go to the test case's page and click the "edit with form" tab and add results for the test case using the same method.


Test cases

To add a test result, click the '+' sign next to a test case to edit it in a form, then click the [Add another] button on the form.

Activities

If you are creating test cases for an activity, please include the base functionality that is important for all activities; then you can include other functional testing as well.

Base Activity Testing:

  1. Activity installs from download (if not part of default installation) from website or USB key
  2. Activity starts up
  3. You can re-name the activity
  4. User specific data can be created
  5. You can force a save
  6. Activity closes properly from inside the activity
  7. You can resume the activity from the Journal
  8. You see the user specific data after resume
  9. You can close the activity from the Sugar frame
