• Launchpad Entry: karmic-qa-unr-testing-automation

• Created: UDS Karmic

• Contributors: Ronald, Marc

• Packages affected: Checkbox

Summary

Perform install testing of UNR on all laptop and netbook class devices as part of a regular rotation of flavours. Incorporate automated desktop UNR tests from the OEM team.

Rationale

UNR is a standard *buntu variant using the same plumbing as Ubuntu and should be tested regularly. The OEM and Mobile teams are writing a series of tests that we will leverage.

Assumptions

We get Live CDs installing successfully.

Design

Install UNR images and run standard Ubuntu tests plus UNR-specific tests as they become available.

BoF agenda and discussion

Current Testing Issues

• Clutter is not testable (no toolkit support for a11y)
  • adding ATK support is a target for Karmic
• Some hardware on netbooks have no tests in Checkbox
  • 3G
    • don't have enough SIM cards to leave these in machines in Lexington
    • don't have SIM cards at all in Montreal
    • can partially test by looking to see if the hardware is detected
  • TV tuner
  • video out
    • do we need specialized hardware? (e.g. a KVM)
    • can XRandR provide info?
• Need to ensure that both wired and wireless networking is tested
• audio
  • internal and external mics
• detect windows that exceed the screen resolution
  • might be added to OEM application launching tests

Action items

• Assign someone in OEM to become familiar with Checkbox Satellite (Chris Gregan)
• Pseudo-sprint to determine design needs of this system (Ronald and Chris)
  • followup with Marc to get it implemented
• Find out about how to get SIM cards for hardware (Ronald)
• Integrate all OEM tests into mainline Checkbox (Ronald and Chris)
• Look into sound generation and reception testing (Ronald)
  • get results to Chris and Marc
  • Colin King also uses something similar (or possibly the same thing?)
