G1G1 Activity testing

  This page is part of the OLPC Community testing Project. How to test an Activity | Reporting test results | Meetings

Goal

Get all G1G1-2008 Activities tested by Dec. 25, 2008.

There are several goals for this project.

1. Stress-test a good community testing participation framework.
2. Create a solid notion of what it means to "test an Activity," and how to do that.
3. Get OLPC used to giving the Community testing team the resources they need to work on what they want to work on.
4. And of course, get G1G1 Activities tested so that teachers, students, XO-deployers, Support gang volunteers, developers, etc. can make good decisions about what to use and what to fix and what to make based on solid knowledge of how our software measures up against their expectations.

Activity list

The key activities we want to test are the "G1G1" activity group for Release 8.2.0. The page that Software update accesses for this is Activities/G1G1/8.2.

As of 2008-12-04, those activities are:

Help activity | Browse | Read | Write | Paint | Record | TamTamJam | TamTamEdit | TamTamSynthLab | TamTamMini | Chat | Pippy | Etoys | Turtle Art | Calculate | Measure | Distance | Memorize | Implode | Maze | Moon | Ruler | Scratch | Speak | WikiBrowse English | Terminal | Log | Analyze

FYI, compared with the older G1G1 activity pack for Release 8.1.0, the G1G1 activity group for 8.2.0 adds Help activity, Implode, Maze, Moon, Ruler, Scratch, and WikiBrowse English; it removes NewsReader.

Activity info

This is a handy cheat sheet for people who are testing Activities or trying to decide what Activities to test, and who want to quickly find information about multiple Activities at once.

Query all activities with Property:Activity group of Activities/G1G1 — should match except for the four TamTam activities!

Activity pages can hold info for more than one bundle, if so then one of these Property:Activity versions (possibly the biggest number) is the best version for 8.2.0.

{{#ask:

 Activity group::Activities/G1G1

 |?Team member=Team member(s)
 |?Activity genre

 |default=No activities with Property:Activity group of Activities/G1G1??!

(Note that you can't just list 20 activities in a query — [[ Help activity || Browse || Read || Write || ... ]] — seems to break if you list too many)
