I use LibreOffice a lot - particularly Write; if I can be of help there
please let me know.

Re: Manual Application Testing plans for beta1

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Chris, yes you should still file them locally. If the issue is an
upstream one (and not ubuntu specific), the bug should get upstreamed.
You may be asked to do this, or you can do this yourself if you wish by
opening a bug upstream and linking it to the lp bug. However, it's
important to report bugs to lp first, as they may be ubuntu specific.

On a semi-related note, I'm trying to help get some more libreoffice
tests for beta2.. the libreoffice team has been responsive so far, so
fingers crossed ;-)

 Beta2 should offer a much more full set of tests -- they'll
 just continue to grow.

Re: Manual Application Testing plans for beta1

[chris hermansen]

I checked this morning (Vancouver time) and this problem has already been
reported in Precise, so I added myself to the bug and also a few details.

Any comment on my other question with regard to testing LibreOffice - bug
reports in Launchpad or upstream?

Re: Checkbox

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Thanks Brendan. And yes, for beta2 I hope to be using the new interface
so this issue doesn't occur (and we'll get to enjoy the work the
checkbox team has been doing on the UI ;-) ). Thanks for testing John!

Agreed. Use ubuntu-bug packagename and file a bug with any weirdness you
see, as part of testing the beta or not :-)  Thanks for testing!

 Nicholas I would love to write a manual plan for testing software
 center but currently I am completely raced off my feet.  If I
 get some
 down time I'll have a look at throwing something together.

 in the meantime key tests should be:
 install a gui based app
 ensure icon appears in the launcher
 sync to another pc/vm instance
 install a 0$ app (or a paid for one that utilises the ppa system)
 reinstall previous purchase on a second system
 removal of an app
 ensure icon is removed from app launcher

 That should give you a good ground work if I don't get time
 till the
 release it out (fingers crossed I will though)
