Daniel,
Yes, you are right, for projects that have a quickstart, the testing
steps can just say:
"Run the Quickstart". This was the original idea, but I can see that we
have been sloppy in defining that. (I'll endevour to do better on the
next release).

Hi Hamish,
Probably many of us, who joined the LiveDVD project later (like me),
are not aware of this wiki page. I saw it first time when Cameron
mentioned it in an email, and if all tests were as outdated as the
pgRouting test was, then you probably couldn't run any test with
success ;-)
I think that it will be difficult in the future to ensure that every
project doesn't forget to keep all different documents up-to-date:
there is a Google Docs spreadsheet, the wiki page with tests,
quickstart and introduction document ... maybe there's even more. I'm
not sure.
It would be nice to have things a bit more together, so information
doesn't get lost over the time and doesn't get so messy.
In my opinion the quickstart document would be a perfect test and
nobody needed to check and update the wiki page then. So maybe for the
next release it would be worth to think about to require a quickstart
document and write it in a way, that it can be a test as well.
Also information that is currently in the spreadsheet could for
example move into the header of the introduction document.
Just an idea,
Daniel

Hi,
a lot of the app tests are failing because the test instructions
are out of date. looking for medford database, old sample data
paths, etc. when in fact the program is ok. please make sure the
test instructions for your favourite project is up to date!
thanks,
Hamish
