There are a lot of new terms, tools and procedures we want to use for Testing on Ubuntu Personal. This page is here to document those processes.

Silo Testing

Prechecks

  • All merge proposals must have been reviewed and approved.
  • All automated tests must pass.
  • New features must come with automated tests.
  • New strings must be marked for translation.

Installation

Install phablet-tools package in your desktop machine.

  • Flash the phone with the latest development image (instructions here )

  • citrain device-upgrade <silo number> <password>

  • Overlay PPA
    • In case of Vivid + Overlay PPA, the silo packages need to be pinned to a higher priority. Otherwise, silo packages won't be installed.
    • Create this file: sudo vi /etc/apt/preferences.d/silo.pref

    • Add these lines (silo number must be 0-padded, e.g. landing-001):

Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-ci-train-ppa-service-landing-<silo number>
Pin-Priority: 1002
  • Save the file.
  • Update the package list: sudo apt-get update

  • Upgrade the packages: sudo apt-get upgrade

Test Plan Locations

Reporting New Cases

Any relevant silo bug should be added to the Regression Test Suite as draft.

FAQ

  1. How can the community help?
    • The community are the main users of the currently supported devices so:
      • Knowing what is wrong (bug reports, see point 2)
      • Knowing what is right (ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net send a mail here the devs would love to know what you love)

      • Knowing images are working (Bug reports when the don't, see point 2)
      • Knowing if something is missing (Bug reports, please don't be dismayed if they get marked as wishlist lot to do, alternatively talking to the development team/creator of you favourite app about a port to Ubuntu is good too Smile :) )

  2. What info do you need in bug reports?
