TestPlan 8.2.0

OLPC Test Areas/Features for 8.2.0

This is a work-in-progress...

Below is the major test areas/features list that will be used to create test cases:

Collaboration/Connectivity

Between XOs with simple mesh.

Between XOs with a school server with an active antenna and/or an 802.11 b/g access point (with or without WEP and WPA1(?) encryption). Access point connectivity is currently a priority.

In a mixed environment (when various wireless points of contact are present in the area), allow switching between different modes of connectivity.

Journal/Datastore

List, search, and filter records of actions on the system by time or title (?).

Filter records of actions by title.

Be able to display and edit DOC, JPEG, GIF, WAV, HTML, MP3, MPEG, AVI, ???) formats. (Which ones are covered in 8.2.0??? - this needs correction).

Power Management (Power Control & Conservation)

When the lid is closed or when the power button is pressed quickly while Sugar is running, suspend the machine in order to conserve power.

Resume from suspend in response to lid opening or quickly pressing the power-button.

Power off a machine by holding the power button for several seconds.

Power off or reset the machine via the Central XO-person's Palette.

Control screen brightness with the brightness keys in Sugar.

Installation/Upgrade

Original software must be installable at the factory. It can be upgraded via an USB stick (clean install) or over the network (upgrade). Clean install will result in deleting all previously existed user data. When upgraded over the network, user data collected while running previously installed software must be preserved and appear existed after the upgrade.

Firmware

Developer key should grant access to OFW.

It should be able to reinstall firmware If needed) without reinstalling the whole build.

It should be possible to rewrite manufacturing data (e.g. language, write-protect tags) from OFW (?).

Security

Laptops should travel through the delivery chain unactivated.

Laptops should not boot until they are activated.

Laptops can be activated locally (via USB) or wirelessly (with a school server) (?).

Localization

Keyboards Must support all keyboards that we developed. "Support" is defined as:

1. There is a keyboard silkscreen, approved and able to be produced at Quanta
2. The keys on the keyboard map to the appropriate characters on the display
3. The text on the screen renders legibly and is directionally correct (left to right, right to left)

The tests to determine items 2 and 3 only include text that is typed in the Sugar UI, Write and Browse.

Translations Translations need to be developed and approved by the country as OLPC does not have language expertise.

User documentation

Inside XO and online (wiki) available

Help Activity for G1G1

USB/SD Peripherals

USB read, write, mount and unmount must work.

Mouse and keyboard must connect and work.

Reliably store user data to and retrieve user data from FAT16/VFAT formatted USB Mass Storage devices.

Reliably store user data to and retrieve user data from FAT16/VFAT formatted SD/SDHC devices.

USB ethernet adapters, keyboards, and mice should function similarly to their normal function on other operating systems.

Login via serial consoles. (very low priority)

Sugar GUI

TBD

Activities

Installing or removing activities should never change the ability of the system to run.

Interact with one activity or "location" at a time

Switch between the current activity and other locations with the view keys or the frame

Switch between activities with Alt-Tab or the activity ring

Start new activities and stop running ones with the frame, ring, or activity toolbar.

Browse must render the same web sites as before. See also

Pippy, Record, and TamTam will be able to play and record sounds.

Pippy and Record will be able to take photographs.

Record will be able to record short videos.

Measure will be able to measure signals with or without DC voltage bias.

Volume keys on the keyboard will adjust the speaker volume while Sugar is running.

Control audio volume with the volume keys in sugar

Pictures can be composed with text in a system editor such as Write. (We actually expect [go/Write Write] to do a lot of other things.)

Fancier multimedia like video, audio, and programs can be manipulated in an environment like [go/EToys EToys].

Copy-and-paste media clips between activities

Download media clips into the Journal

Performance/scalability

Loading activities should take the same time or less than previous release.

The number of laptops that can share/collaborate should be as many or more than the previous release for each scenario.

Hardware/Firmware

Robust behavior, ability to operate with user-oriented (touch-pad, keyboard, etc.) and external devices (mouse, etc.)
