Desktop/Testing: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:27, 8 January 2009

This page is meant as a starting point to collect useful information about testing the Fedora desktop.

There are multiple projects that aim to automate testing of desktop (specifically UI) functionality.

A list of tests for basic desktop functionality.

Handling of USB sticks:
- insert a usb stick
- verify that nautilus opens a window showing the contents of the sticks toplevel directory
- verify that the stick shows up in the nautilus "computer" window, and in the panel "places" menu
- open gedit, open the file chooser dialog, verify that the stick is represented in the left pane and you can open a file
Handling of audio cds:
- insert an audio cd
- expect that a nautilus window pops up that asks you what to do. It should offer opening in rhythmbox, sound-juicer, as well as picking another application.
- select rhythmbox and click ok
- expect that rhythmbox opens, with the cd selected
- verify that rhythmbox gets author, titles, etc and cover art for your cd
- repeat the same steps this time choosing sound-juicer, and verify that sound-juicer opens up, and also gets metadata for your cd
