Re: [SoaS] SoaS test cases: Quick way to test /Open Office.ods Spreadsheet of tested Activities in Mirabelle 501 USB- Updated

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am attaching an Open Office.ods Spreadsheet of tested Activities in Mirabelle 501 USB
(see method used below)
This should include all of the most recent versions of activities listed on

http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities/

Plus some downloaded from announcements on sugar-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and other sources.
There about 140 on it.*
(The spreadsheet is sorted in alphabetical order for easy lookup of the activity number on this link)

Please Feel free to use this to help us test applications.
I have only done a preliminary inspection for starting and shutdown for these applications
in Mirabelle 0.88.0 sugar. I also have a column with quick comments...

I just discovered a great way to TEST activities with Mirabelle.

Run them from a second stick.
They do not have to be installed or downloaded at all.

I am using a 2nd USB stick with 111.xo files on it downloaded from ASLO
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/ASLO-xo.tar.gz
loaded into a usb slot of a running USB of soas-i386-20100501.07.iso created USB
Note: this USB is not a live USB. It was installed with livinst command to a 4GB Firefly USB
from a liveusb-iso-to-disk persistent 2GB USB.
so it is ext4 based.
I used an ACER Aspire ONE laptop 532h with 2 USB's
Boot 4GB USB
ASLO.xo 1 GB USB with all of the .xo files on it.

It is also possible to download them directly from
http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities/ and load them onto a stick,
(2GB seems to be sufficient)

I have developed a Open Office Spreadsheet on my PC which includes the name and activity number of each of them I can sort this by name/activity number/ plus compatibility info for 0.82-0.88 sugar. I am now entering testing and compatibility info into this spreadsheet as I test.

I think that this method of testing may also work for Blueberry and Strawberry and maybe even the XO-1 (140py)
(I will test this later)
This technique depends on being able to see the 2nd USB and start applications from it.

I open the 2nd USB in the frame and then select the journal.
The 2nd USB then appears in left corner under the frame and when selected, displays each activity.xo.
these can be started by clicking on them.
Each activity on the 2nd USB can be started, tested, and run this way, without loading on the soas live USB.

Very Quick Usefull way to test. I hope others can adopt it also.

http://blog.melchua.com/2010/05/01/soas-test-cases-we-can-haz-them/ for more details and current test results: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Mirabelle. The short version is that everything's working except collaboration (which has a known fix, see below) and Read (not because the Activity doesn't work, but because there's nothing to read with it and it's therefore hard to test/quickly-start-using).

In terms of getting Mirabelle ready to go out the door, right now we need:

* this telepathy-gabble update, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc13, to be pushed to the Fedora updates repo – it has +3 karma but is still in testing, and must be pushed before Tuesday; without it, collaboration in SoaS does not work at all.

* download/install instructions for burning the image to a stick, for every major operating system, that can be followed by a classroom teacher without technical expertise. We know the Blueberry install instructions (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Blueberry) do not fit this criteria, and would love for someone – probably a non-engineer – to help rewrite them. Install instructions will either go on http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#downloads or be linked to from this page.

* quotes, stories, screenshots, and photos (CC-BY, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/, please) from Sugar/SoaS users on what they’ve done with the platform, cool things they’ve tried, how this fits into a classroom, and so forth, to be used on the spin webpage and related links – bonus points if you can talk about contributing to SoaS as well as using it!
