This should provide an overview of the issue/functionality/change proposed here. Focus here on what will actually be DONE, summarising that so that other people don't have to read the whole spec. See also CategorySpec for examples. Karmic and Lucid are both supported on the OMAP3 beagleBoard. Maverick should also be ported to the platform.

When these changes are implemented tests written for LDTP and, specifically, for Ubuntu Desktop Testing, Checkbox will be used to run desktop tests and reporting will be consistent.

Line 18: Line 20:
We want to have a consistent test harness for the majority of our tests. Checkbox, formerly hwtest, it is a tool to run tests. It is flexible enough to be used to run all kind of tests, including desktop tests. The rational behind the activity is to offer continuity and support for the platform.

=== Permissions ===
We need Checkbox to be able to run as a normal user, rather than running always as root. This need changes from both Checkbox and Ubuntu Desktop Testing

 * Checkbox can be run as non-root:
{{{
./bin/checkbox-cli --config="checkbox/plugins/blacklist=permission_prompt"
}}}
 * Suites and scripts are written on installation under /usr/share/checkbox, with root-only permissions. It would be better to have a .checkbox folder in the user's home folder to store this kind of information.
 * Results are stored by default in /var/lib/checkbox, and this is only writable by root.
 * Ubuntu Desktop Testing package installs scripts in /usr/share/ubuntu-desktop-tests only readable by root.

=== Test results ===
You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.

Summary

Karmic and Lucid are both supported on the OMAP3 beagleBoard. Maverick should also be ported to the platform.

Release Note

This section should include a paragraph describing the end-user impact of this change. It is meant to be included in the release notes of the first release in which it is implemented. (Not all of these will actually be included in the release notes, at the release manager's discretion; but writing them is a useful exercise.)

It is mandatory.

Rationale

The rational behind the activity is to offer continuity and support for the platform.

User stories

Assumptions

Design

You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.

Implementation

This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like:

UI Changes

Should cover changes required to the UI, or specific UI that is required to implement this

Code Changes

Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.

Migration

Include:

  • data migration, if any
  • redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any
  • how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary.

Test/Demo Plan

It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during testing, and to show off after release. Please add an entry to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Coverage/NewFeatures for tracking test coverage.

This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.

Unresolved issues

This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.

BoF agenda and discussion

Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
