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?
- 3G
- 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?)
