Line 7: Line 7:
There are certain problem areas in the kernel where we see a large volume of bugs reported in each cycle. This is because things like Audio, video, graphics, etc get used the most during a normal functioning of a laptop/netbook. You can find below a list of tests that will be executed by this test suite.

=== How are we testing it ===
We have created a custom live image which you can boot via pxe-boot or put on a USB disk and boot you laptop or netbook, the image will boot and auto launch the test suite wizard. The test suite wizard will guide you though the tests. You will have to click on "Test", and then answer "yes" / "no" to the question, and click on "next". In case you want to skip a test click on "skip". After all the tests have been run, the wizard will collect your test results, transmit the results to a central server and shutdown the system.

 

Ubuntu Kernel Compatibility Testing

Why test??

The idea behind this test effort is to get the latest development release of Ubuntu kernel tested on a large number of Laptops and Netbooks. This will give us an early look at issues that users might have wrt to device support and functionality. We have isolated key areas that we would like to see if Ubuntu is compatible with your hardware.

What are we testing ??

There are certain problem areas in the kernel where we see a large volume of bugs reported in each cycle. This is because things like Audio, video, graphics, etc get used the most during a normal functioning of a laptop/netbook. You can find below a list of tests that will be executed by this test suite.

How are we testing it

We have created a custom live image which you can boot via pxe-boot or put on a USB disk and boot you laptop or netbook, the image will boot and auto launch the test suite wizard. The test suite wizard will guide you though the tests. You will have to click on "Test", and then answer "yes" / "no" to the question, and click on "next".
