Notes on Battery Testing

Mock battery propreties are available for testing purposes.

The testing properties are DBus properties published on busname "com.canonical.indicator.power", object path "/com/canonical/indicator/power/Testing", and interface "com.canonical.indicator.power.Testing". The four properties are "MockBatteryEnabled" (boolean, default false), "MockBatteryLevel" (uint32 [0-100], default 50), "MockBatteryState" (string, default 'discharging'), "MockBatteryMinutesLeft" (minutes remaining to charge/discharge, uint32, default 30).

Example use:

To show the testing properties:

$ gdbus call --session --dest "com.canonical.indicator.power" \
             --object-path /com/canonical/indicator/power/Testing \
             --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll \
             com.canonical.indicator.power.Testing

To enable the mock battery:

$ gdbus call --session --dest "com.canonical.indicator.power" \
             --object-path /com/canonical/indicator/power/Testing \
             --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set \
             com.canonical.indicator.power.Testing \
             MockBatteryEnabled \
             "<true>"

To set the mock battery's charge to 10%:

$ gdbus call --session --dest "com.canonical.indicator.power" \
             --object-path /com/canonical/indicator/power/Testing \
             --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set \
             com.canonical.indicator.power.Testing \
             MockBatteryLevel \
             "<uint32 10>"

Test Case: indicator-power/unity7-items-check

Procedure

• Log in to a Unity 7 user session
• Go to the panel and click on the Power indicator
  • Ensure there are items in the menu

Test Case: indicator-power/unity7-greeter-items-check

Procedure

• Start a system and wait for the greeter or logout of the current user session
• Go to the panel and click on the Power indicator
  • Ensure there are items in the menu

Test Case: indicator-power/unity8-items-check

Procedure

• Login to a user session running Unity 8
• Pull down the top panel until it sticks open
• Navigate through the tabs until "Battery" is shown
  • Battery is at the top of the menu
  • The menu is populated with items

Test Case: indicator-power/detect-charging-or-discharging

Procedure

• Begin with a discharging device
  • The indicator's icon should denote a discharging battery; e.g. an icon without the '⚡' sign
• Plug it in so that its battery is charging
  • The indicator's icon should change to show a charging battery
• Unplug it again
  • The indicator's icon should revert back to the same one in step one

Test Case: indicator-power/low-power-notifications

Procedure

• Wait for the system's battery level to drop to 10% (or fake it, see 'Notes on Battery Testing' above)
  • A notification should appear
  • Its title should read "Battery Low"
  • Its text should read "10% charge remaining"
  • The icon should be a low power icon
  • It should have two actions, "Battery settings" and "OK".
  • A warning sound should play
• Tap OK to dismiss the popup
• Wait (or fake) the battery level to drop to 9%
  • No new notification should appear -- we're still at the "Low" level
• Wait (or fake) the battery level to drop to 4%
  • A notification should appear
  • Its title should read "Battery Critical"
  • Its text should read "4% charge remaining"
  • The icon should be a critical power icon
  • It should have two actions, "Battery settings" and "OK".
  • A warning sound should play
• Tap 'Battery Settings'
  • ubuntu-system-settings should be launched to the Battery page

Test Case: indicator-power/low-power-icon

Procedure

• Wait for the system's battery level to drop to 21% (or fake it, see 'Notes on Battery Testing' above)
  • The indicator's icon should use the non-critical coloring (eg, grey)
• Wait for the system's battery level to drop to 20% (or fake it, see 'Notes on Battery Testing' above)
  • The indicator's icon should use the critical coloring (eg, red)

Test Case: indicator-power/device-brightness-slider

Procedure

• On a device, pull down the power indicator's menu
  • The menu should include a brightness slider with icons
• Make sure "Adjust brightness automatically" is not checked. Uncheck it if it's not.
• Slide the brightness slider back and forth
  • The screen should get brighter and darker in sync with the slider's position
• Launch unity-system-settings' Brightness panel
• Move both the indicator's and the settings panel's sliders
  • Both sliders' positions should stay in sync with each other
  • Both should have the same effect on the screen's brightness
• Make a note of the current brightness level and slider position
• Reboot the device
  • The screen brightness should be the same as it was before rebooting
  • The indicator's brightness slider should be in the same position as it was before rebooting

Test Case: indicator-power/device-brightness-slider-auto

Procedure

• On a device, pull down the power indicator's menu
  • The menu should include a brightness slider with icons
• Tap the "Adjust brightness automatically" button to enable auto-adjustment
• Expose the phone to different brightness levels; e.g. walking inside and outside, shining a flashlight on the device's light sensors, and so on
  • The screen should get brighter and darker in sync with the varying lighting conditions
  • The slider in the power indicator's menu should move to reflect the adjusted brightness
• Launch unity-system-settings' Brightness panel
• Expose the phone again to different brightness levels
  • The screen should get brighter and darker in sync with the varying lighting conditions
  • The slider in the Brightness panel should move too
