Testing Descriptions
Testing is split into 3 main parts.
- Image Testing.
- Application Testing
- Hardware Testing
The following descriptions can be used to help people decide how they want to participate.
Image Testing
Image or iso testing consists of downloading a copy of the latest daily ISO images, burning them to CDs/USB keys (or loading them into VM's) and testing them. This brings to light many issues that might have been missed by other early adopters and developers, especially in the CD builds and installers.
Application Testing
Application testing is the manual testing of specific things (test cases) in applications. Regression tests are specific tests for potential breakages from one release to another (they're also relevant for SRU testing, above).
Hardware Testing
Hardware Testing is about the manual testing of specific things (test cases) mainly related to laptops hardware. The goal is to get Ubuntu to work great on as many different makes and models of laptops as possible and this can be done knowing which hardware works straight off the install CD and which hardware needs configuring or is poorly supported.
Requirements
A computer.
A Launchpad Account.
An image of the current daily development version of ubuntu
A network connection.
Finally a virtual machine, such as KVM/Qemu/Virtualbox, unless installing on hardware.
Asking people to prepare for the Jam
Download a copy of the latest iso
Material
Important links:
The Iso Tracker.
The Package Tracker.
The Hardware Tracker.
Using VirtualBox (older version but works pretty much the same now).
Towards the bottom half of the page gives you the general idea for a kvm command.
Holding the Session
You are encouraged to perform each type of testing in advance so you have a basic understanding of what to expect. In addition, it's encouraged for you to read the following pages:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities
For each of the different types of testing a ubuntu global jam milestone should be setup on each tracker with the testcases ready to and and results ready to be reported against. See the tests on this milestone page
Note that unless folks are willing to do installations (via VM or real hardware) they will be testing using the live session of the image they brought with them (by booting it up into a VM or on real hardware).
Introduction Session
Provide an overview of each type of testing and let folks know they can choose to do any or all of the different types during the jam. Milestones will be setup on all three trackers, a summary of what all can be tested can be found on this milestone page.
Application Testing
NOTE: Ubuntu global jam is a milestone, just like cadence testing. Thus the following tutorial can be followed. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough
Install Testing
Follow the guide here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough
Hardware Testing
Boot your hardware up into a Live session, then follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures
