Preparing for the Session
You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with performing the testing in advance so you have a basic understanding of what to expect. This is best done by performing a test yourself before the day of the jam.
It is recommended you perform testing on the development version of ubuntu during the jam. To do this, you will be booting a live session of the development version of ubuntu and testing applications. Additionally you may perform an installation of the development version on real hardware or in a virtual machine.
Asking people to prepare for the Jam
Have participants come prepared with a laptop and usb key (2 gb or greater) that can be wiped clean.
Ensure they have a Launchpad/Ubuntu SSO account
- Bring a laptop
- Bring a usb key (2 gb or greater)
Ask them to download a copy of the latest image
You may wish to have extra usb keys already loaded with the proper image in case folks have trouble creating them.
Holding the Session
Let folks know they will be helping test there hardware and look for bugs in the development version of ubuntu.
Setup
Follow the guide to ensure each participant has valid a bootable usb stick. Should this cause issues, follow the guide for virtualbox and have them test in a virtual machine.
Contributing Results
If possible participants should try to test both the installation and the desktop / applications. If participants are unwilling or unable to test the installation, they can focus on testing the desktop instead inside a live session.
Booting the image
Boot the image and be sure to select the option allowing you to try ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu, etc. This will boot into a live session of the default desktop.
Once booted into a live session, you can perform application testing.
Application Testing
Application testing is the manual testing of specific things (test cases) in applications.
What's tested?: The default desktop applications
Tutorials: Application Testing Walkthrough
Testcases to execute: Application Testcases
Getting more advanced
Once you've completed testing the default desktop applications, it's time to try an install.
Image Testing
Image or iso testing consists of running through an installation of ubuntu.
What's tested?: Iso image ubiquity / debian installer
Tutorials: ISO Testing walkthrough
Testcases to execute: Image Testcases
Filing Bugs
If / when you find an issue, please be sure and file a bug for it!
Other forms of testing
If you're adventurous and want to check out what the future of Ubuntu is going to hold, see Unity8Desktop for more information and help with testing Unity8.
If you want to file bugs, use the unity8-desktop-session package. The unity8 team will reassign your bug if necessary, please file any issues you find!
