I think that in our case, categories should represent our way of work. So for community team, current categories are probably fine, but for QA engineering they may not be well suited (you may want an additional manual/automatic note). I don't think we should stumble on this issue for too long, so I'd recommend to go with the following scheme, and update it if we feel necessary. So it would go as this: * *Applications* (for application related tests, such as testing editors, browsers, etc). * *System* (for testing system built ins, such as, maybe, services scripts, global/local settings, default system configurations, etc) * *Hardware* (for testing hardware components) * *Install* (for test cases performed during the installation process) * *Upgrade* (for test cases performed during the upgrade process) ** CasesMods (I have no idea what it is right now, so if anyone does please let us know).* I am going to use this selection on the Test Cases Rewriting document, and if anything changes we'll update accordingly. -- Alex Lourie -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

I second that. I recommend prioritising here, so I believe it is better to begin with ISO test cases, then continue to application test cases. Moreover, we should probably prioritise the ISO cases as well, so we concentrate on more important ones first. OK, so thinking about this further, I came up with the following: 1. As I previously recommended, work on ISO tracker test cases first, deal with everything else later. 2. Select few representing flavours from the list on [1] 3. Rewrite mandatory test cases. 4. When 3. above is done, rewrite the run-once test cases. 5. When 4. above is done, rewrite optional test cases. 6. Repeat 3-5 for other flavours until all test cases for ISO testing are rewritten. 7. Approve all tests. ( I recommend at least one peer review per test, just to be on a safe side). Feedback on this would be extremely helpful, especially I'd like to have the consensus on the first bunch of flavours to rewrite (I guess, main Ubuntu i386 Desktop/server, Kubuntu and Xubuntu should get there). I'd set a first bunch to 5-7, so we see how it goes.

Re: ISO manifest inconsistent with installed packages
It won't be consistent, because you'll make some choices during
installation that will affect which packages are actually installed. Not
everything on the CD ends up in the installation of Ubuntu.

Diff the manifest and the current installed packages (with only the

diff --ignore-space-change precise-desktop-i386.manifest

All output from my process attached. But here is the diff2.txt (below

It seems like the manifest is not reflecting 100% what is installed,
unless I am missing something?
Thoughts?
First file is the 'precise-desktop-i386.manifest' and the second file
is the 'dpkg-name-version.txt' (which is the currently installed
packages via dpkg).

We could split it in different tasks for different people if we generate first a list of apps that we can use for the generation of test cases. I'd like to start by encouraging some debate here. As a developer of Ubuntu, there are certain tools that are critical such as Python itself. However to what extent is it worthwhile testing that Python works for example? I guess it can't do any harm. One thing I would like to see tested is apt - the ability to install packages is critical. Personally I think the most important thing is to test as many different configurations as possible (which we may already be doing), such as encrypted home and selecting (or not) to install non-free software/updates while installing. 2) We need to fix the existing test cases in the tracker and convert them to a better, more understandable format. Basically we need to convert them to unambiguous and meaningful test cases. Some of them are redundant, some of them are too long to be just one test case, some others do not make sense anymore. This is a tidy up task that needs to be done. Is this to be done before putting them into Litmus? I can gladly help either way. - Metrics (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-qa-metrics): 3) I have some tasks here that could use some help. We need to look at the codebase of Ubuntu main and see how to instrument the code so that we can start generating code coverage metrics. This is about compiling the Ubuntu code with gcov and generating binaries that can be used (still to be seen how to install them) for this end. - This task requires code in-depth knowledge and familiarity on how things are built and can be changed to build in a different way. We should decide where to start instrumenting and why. The software-center developers have a very good implementation of code coverage reports, so it's worth looking at that package (in the 'tests' directory) at least for how to do this with a Python application. This is the task I'd be most interested in helping with. 4) Look into how to do test escape analysis with launchpad. TEA is an analysis that will tell us, after Precise, if we missed some problems that were found by someone after we did our testing and that should help us understand whether we should be adding new test cases in those missed areas or not. Are we tagging bugs that 'we' found (I'm assuming the 'we' here means the routine testing such as smoke testing and ISO testing rather than regular use by end-users) in some way? 5) Gather test cases from defects. This is about making a list of defects that have been fixed for Oneiric and that have a set of steps to reproduce the problem that needs to be gathered and written into a proper test case. Does someone already have this list? Release managers for example? - Test Case Management System (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-qa-test-case-management-tool) 6) Still not available, but when it is, review and give feedback about litmus and its usability. Also help decide how to configure it to make it more suitable for the Ubuntu community testing. Just let us know when it's ready ;) - QA Backlog tasks (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-qa-backlog) 7) Review and change the wiki to reflect the new approach to QA. Please, bear in mind that since we don't have the test case management tool up and running yet, we need to keep our test cases in text files or open office documents (prefereably spreadsheets) for now. As soon as we have chosen a tool to handle them, we will be using that. I have added a template at the bottom of the test cases page, feel free to use it for your newly generated test cases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase You can also modify it to contain a link to the old test case whenever you are improving an existing test case. Let us know which tasks you are interested in and I will be mapping tasks in the blueprints to people, so that we keep track of what everyone's doing and do not duplicate work. I have numbered the tasks to make it easier to discuss about them. You don't need to take an entire task if you feel you

Re: QA tasks available
I'd be interested in starting on ISO Testing and task 1. I think it would give me some good initial exposure to the overall picture--installed applications, some testing priority and making some ISO smoke test--test cases. If that sounds okay? Is there a notification for when packages with changes are submitted to the code base? Or some other process for knowing what packages have been added and changed? Has there been any initial discussions on testing priority? I'm sure I can come up with an initial list and we can start from there if not. I'd be interested in having a clear picture of what has changed between builds/releases and help determine what should be included in the smoke testing, etc. Getting a list of the packages isn't hard so I was thinking about how to determine testing priority and making the test cases, etc. Unless someone is already on it or if you'd like me to look at something else instead...

Re: Starting once more
Hi Javier, thanks for your email. Nice to see other fellow Spanish collaborator in the list (apart from the ones I already knew :)! Regarding the blueprints, we normally put them together before UDS and discuss them there. For those of you who weren't there, this is the overall strategy we presented for the coming two years. It is only very clear for the next six months and we will be defining together the coming cycles as we get closer and see what we have achieved: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/Strategy As per the definition of test case, that is my mistake, I should have pointed to the exact same public page in the wiki (I will change that in the blueprint): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase As you can see the blueprints more or less match what is explained in the strategy, some of them have tasks that we also need to do due to the lab requiring updates, etc. that are not necessarily there. This cycle is all about enabling the developers and engineering teams do their job better. Next one will be about adding more test cases (increasing the coverage) to our test suites. As I said, I will try to put a list of tasks together for Monday, where people can choose the ones they like from the ones we have available and are doing in those blueprints. Things keep coming up and we keep adding more things to the blueprints as we go along. One thing you could do is express your interest in one blueprint or another and we can match tasks with people's levels of expertise or get the people with less experience to collaborate with the more experienced ones. We can also look into the minimal CDs testing if you want, but at the moment we are going to focus on getting right the ISOs we have available, before expanding into new things. More info to come soon, Gema On 01/12/11 07:45, Javier Domingo wrote: Hi all, First of all, I want to say that I have been reading all the mails you have regularly sent, and I want to say I'm glad that there are going to happen big changes. Refering to those changes, thought I have not been quite active this year, I am particularly interested on minimal CD installations. I think they are the best way to install OS for people that already knows they want it, and they don't want to install it and then update it [1]. In this way, I would like to see those Minimal CDs into the iso tracker. I don't know actually why they are not there. What involves the test-case definition blueprint, I am not allowed to see the canonical wiki (don't know if this is actually pretended). And it would be nice an explanation of what blueprints, etc. are. I actually pretend to do more than just testing, I have no idea of how are things organized, which teams there are, etc. Greetings, Javier Domingo [1] I would like to say that I random times experienced problems when installing from minimal CDs. Those times were when I used my spain's (my country) archive copy. I don't know if there might not be any difference, but after selecting the archive, it gets stuck randomly.I would like to have more facilities at install time to know what is happening (any debug info or sth).

Re: New ISO testing tracker for Precise Alpha 1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Thanks everyone for helping with Alpha-1 testing. It seems like the new ISO tracker worked pretty well this week, I tried to note, prioritize and when possible fix most of the issues I've been told about during the week. If you've been using the new ISO tracker (http://91.189.93.73) and have suggestions on how to improve it, please let me know. Also note that daily images are now being published on the ISO tracker, so feel free to use it to report your daily testing results too! We're now waiting for a code review before upgrading the main instance of the ISO tracker (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com), hopefully this will all be done by Christmas and we'll be enjoying all the new features (turned off for alpha-1) when testing alpha-2. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJO1/JNAAoJEMY4l01keS1ngw0P/jDJPD3Rym7e/QmKr1x/uEw+ NjmVbh2Fw0R5V/tMQDLdyZqFOC2QEtgssOz+4ClLZ53MqlrMrfaoIhuPE921WCQ/ jBgf0YXhZdaIFgO0tlCO1l5HlpCgtACr8FHagp+G1L98j1WpKDgZ8ZLC2i5f7ZAz cDj3edK05XOCwB54rM9gunXqTJIoAa7GizD+QO9xIieUwjUHZ4bz084JfnPZyoaV 2zL969O/yJXCrkH7hpsfDszkQ9IqyZWUPi3jBJQc7bq2+TwyYnjkbbe5vVPM+e+j oqzQGiejvLnlfzNhvNlrIjBctNP+fVGENurpjCzFb7m8DSioiFdYi874qkwrSWuc BgzydaEbqKy9gnE5PRmuB1J77b9nxGlEEOxCPGK0uFMPNe1j/aKeVhfJLTKY3Oa4 U70GFKy4icGfPExaoZ2qVh5q7C8p1tBUFbe5ebn/JrRxSCe0noDKGqZTBBNACH2V 5MZwfPPDKjgGvVsU9P1+P9va0bJ0xdTt1t9pcRLnCM43cLlvnnSmCT4eyOb0wcZC JMYx3F8jNyD3zb1L2eAPTy8QsG3PkzEmm245xm9KlYHICcE3g/1N0J0rqJCd+rtP 4Zupxr9ciVlQxILcMJj4Wq65dUJmlgp4yZ/ZrPMtM16SlBXVMTrJPnfUpZarkrx9 5lCnMeMtBHacgVRN7hUZ =bkd/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Re: well, here's my hello as well
Hi Aaron, welcome to QA! It's very valuable for us the experience you show in your CV, I am sure you'll find interesting the challenges we are facing when trying to make the most of the testing we are doing. You could, not only contribute yourself but also help others get up to speed with the QA concepts and basics. Since there is many of you guys who have expressed the will to help in new things, I will put together a list of tasks that are in progress or about to start that you all may find interesting and send it to the list to see if there are any takers. I work mainly for the Ubuntu projects, maybe the guys from other distros that are also in the list can do the same, so that we have a good pool of things for new starters to have a go at. I am off for a long weekend starting tomorrow so I will probably send ours on Monday or so.

Introductory email
Hi all, I have just realized I sent yesterday's email without having introduced myself to the ubuntu-qa team, my bad. I am a QA Engineer and in August I joined the QA Platform Team at Canonical. I love being part of this initiative to improve the quality of Ubuntu and I am looking forward to collaborating with all of you. Regarding my experience as QA Engineer, I worked for years at Symbian/Nokia first as a Test Integration Engineer, later as a System Test Engineer. Later I worked for VMware also as QA Automation Engineer. My main aim at those companies has been test automation, which I am passionate about (but only when it makes sense, automation is very expensive!). You can have a look at the QA Team strategy here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/Strategy During this cycle we are going to be making ISOs stable and reliable so that further and more rewarding testing is possible during the whole cycle. We are also piloting a tool called litmus, for test case management, we'll let you know when it is ready to be used. We'll also be putting together some metrics so that we can measure how good is our automated testing going forward and so that we can add test cases where they are needed the most. If you like testing and you are a programmer, you may want to get in touch with us. If you have a bunch of test cases you think are good and help you find plenty of defects each cycle, you can send them to the list and we can discuss whether it is worth automating them and how to proceed. We have established a definition of test case that we should all use from now on when writing test cases (either automated or manual): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase Any questions please send them here so that we can all learn from them.

QA Team Meeting and Bugs Meeting split from next week
Dear all, in an attempt to get more involvement from the community in *bug analysis and triaging* and *quality assurance and testing*, the BugSquad and QA Platform Teams have decided to split the Wed 18:00 GMT Ubuntu QA Team Meeting in two separate meetings with separate objectives. Since we are going to be putting a lot of effort this cycle into ensuring testing and bug triaging are done better and we are going to be contributing in different ways to improving the quality of Ubuntu, we've decided to schedule two meetings so that people interested in bug triaging do not need to hear all about the testing and vice versa. Having said that, we are aware that some contributors are interested in the two areas, so we've scheduled the new QA Team meeting one hour earlier than the Bug Squad meeting, so that if someone wishes so, they can attend both without too much disruption. Please, for further information keep an eye on: * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings - Wed 17:00 GMT *Focus*: QA platform activities, calls for testing, community feedback, etc. *Who should attend*: Anyone interested in contributing doing testing for Ubuntu is welcome to attend and start sharing their views, contributing. We'll make sure all the efforts count towards the quality of the coming release. * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Meetings - Wed 18:00 GMT *Focus*: Bug triaging, mentoring of new members, ongoing activities discussion, etc. *Who should attend*: Anyone interested in bug triaging, bug management, bug metrics and classification of bugs. Next week we will be discussing the new agendas and agreeing on a new format that makes sense. Pedro will be chairing the Bugs meeting and I will be chairing the QA Team meeting, we hope we see you all there!

Re: Idea for a new test in laptop QA
2011/10/18 Julien Cornuwel jul...@cornuwel.net: Hi, I recently reported bug #875686 and realised it isn't tested in the laptop QA. I really think it should be, as it is a very common situation to laptop users (closing the lid off their laptop). Hi Julien. As a default action, closing the lid should suspend the system. So I think (but can be wrong) that your issue is due to a suspend problem. In this situation, it's not necessary to add a new testcase because it's covered by the suspend/resume one.

Rebuild of Oneiric Desktop, DVD, ARM and Wubi in progress and need testing
Hi everyone, Thanks to your help 2 very nasty bugs have been discovered at the last minute (bug 322830 and another one in casper). Fortunately unstoppable Ubuntu developers, cjwatson, stgraber and infinity squashed them with no mercy. As a consequence, we are currently rebuilding desktop, dvds, arm and wubi images for all flavors. Which also means that these images will need to be re-tested. We are counting on all of you to help with testing these images today and make Oneiric one great release. Join #ubuntu-testing on freenode to be informed on what needs testing and what other are testing.

Fwd: [Lubuntu-desktop] Installer issues with PPC Ocelot
Hi QA, for my limited knowledge, this seems like a problem in the build engine as it is affecting both lubuntu ubuntu. I had previously pointed the OP to the bug affecting the 'mirror' problem. Should this be filed against Ubiquity or the build system, or something else? I'm certain that he would than happy to provide further information on what the system is doing etc if asked. @ Walter, as you can see, I've asked the QA team to issue guidance as to where best to report the problem.

My 12 PowerBook G4 has been waiting forever for this. Unfortunately, installation isn't going well. Desktop installer needed a bunch of upgrades (including to pygobject which caused an error) and then failed because of a supposedly fixed error in choose-mirror where mirror is the default rather than ports.ubuntu.com. This error IS fixed in x86 Ocelot but not in PPC. Standard Ubuntu PPC Ocelot has the same issue, so this is not just Lubuntu. I have tried to run Ubiquity without the network connection and yet still the installer attempts to download packages. I tried the alternate install CD and it boots fine, but when it comes to detecting the cdrom, it fails. The BusyBox shell fails to reveal mention of the cdrom anywhere: syslog, dmesg, /proc, /dev, etc. I tried to try again many times over to no avail. Interestingly, the latest Debian Squeeze PPC small CD, which I believe has the same installer, has no problems detecting the cdrom. So I don't know where to go next but I'm hoping that maybe the choose-mirror fix can be applied to the PPC version or that perhaps there may be some config file (like sources.list but for choose-mirror) I could manually edit.

Re: zsync
Hi Bob, As far as I know, and I'm sure if I am wrong someone will correct me, zsync is used to update the iso, so if you have a CD you would need to put it onto the hard drive as an ISO and then zsync would simply update the parts of it as the updates arrive, leaving you with a bang up to date ISO that you can then use to create CD's / USB boots etc. The theory is that you do not need to download the entire ISO again, it will simply just download ONLY the files that have been changed (newer versions). I've never used wget to try and update an ISO image, again I could be wrong, but I do not think wget can perform that function. Regards, Phill.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 (english below) Bonjour à vous tous, Mon nom est Mario Lemelin (lemelinm). J'ai fait le saut vers Linux avec Ubuntu 9.04. Je n'ai jamais été à l'aise avec les systèmes d'opération propriétaire (Microsoft, Apple, IBM) et les ordinateurs construit avec des pièces propriétaires et une version d'OS patentée pour optimiser leur ordinateurs (Compaq, HP, IBM). Ceux qui ont connu DrDOS se rappelle sa force comparé avec MsDOS. Et nous savons qui a gagné cette guerre, le moins bon. La philosophie de base de Linux (merci encore Linus Torvalds!) est tout à fait dans mon style de vie de tous les jours. Ancien professeur de mathématique à l'université puis de physique, mathématique et informatique au collégial, ceci explique peut-être pourquoi. Par mes lectures (web, revues), j'en suis venu à la conclusion qu'Ubuntu était la meilleur distribution (selon moi). Depuis, je participe à différents forums et cette année, j'ai décidé de m'impliquer dans le processus de création d'une nouvelle mouture de Ubuntu. Merci à tous ceux qui permettent à ce beau projet Linux qui offre une alternative contre le non-libre et ses tentacules! English Hello everyone, My name is Mario Lemelin (lemelinm).

The basic philosophy of Linux (Linus Torvalds thank you again!) is very much in my lifestyle everyday.

Re: Join Ubuntu Oneiric Beta 1 ISO Testing
It depends on what you want to test. If you run update-manager, it will automatically update you to the Beta 1 packages once they are out. You can report bugs against Beta 1 packages just like you could pre-beta. However, in order to do ISO testing, we need everyone to download and test the actual Beta 1 CD images. The focus of this testing is on the install and live CD aspects of the distibution more than on the individual packages. Both are quite useful, but Jean-Baptiste was definitely trying to get people to download the ISOs and test them specifically. :) - rm On 08/29/2011 10:32 AM, Michael Harden wrote: I currently have alpha 3 running, will it upgrade automatically to the beta 1 version?

Hi all, I am Vyas,a newbie for the QA team. I got interested with the ubuntu when i was building the network of ubuntu servers as a part of my course. So, that made me interested in getting involved with the ubuntu team. As a part of my course I usually do penetration testing so, i thought that i can even share my knowledge and can help to improve ubuntu along with others.

I have had a chat with our head of dev and this build process cannot be applied retrospectively, which is not a problem as we have the build scripts. However one item has sprung to my mind as we get to make a point release for the 10.04 system. Back then, we were using 0.5.x of PCManFM (as were xubuntu), we also had tried to get pyneighborhood to work for shares (smb / windows, etc). but to no real joy. PCManFM 0.9.x has resolved all those issues. Actually, Xubuntu has always Thunar, not PCManFM From a QA point of view, would a point release be allowed to jump from 0.5.x to 0.9.x which would require a couple of extra libraries. pyneighborhood would then be obsolete, but I am loathe to remove it as someone may be using it. I know that those builds do no really fall under the full rules, but I'd appreciate your views on the matter.

nVIDIA/ATI graphic cards and proprietary video drivers on Oneiric
Do you have a *nVIDIA* or *ATI graphics card? Do you want to help ensure users have a smooth experience if they choose to use the proprietary drivers? We are looking for committed volunteers to test nVidia or ATI. The goal of this testing is to catch regressions early in the cycle, and fix bugs before they reach a major audience. If you want to be part of the team you will need: 1. A computer with an nVIDIA (GeForce 6 or newer) or ATI (R600 or newer) graphics card 2. A spare partition on that system * If you don't have a spare partition you can easily create one. 3. One hour of your time per week 4. An Internet connection If you want to take part in this adventure, go to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/ProprietaryDrivers/Oneiric/VideoDrivers and follow the detailed instructions. Thanks for helping making Ubuntu even better! P.S. This project is to test the proprietary drivers. If you're interested in testing the free drivers, we don't need installation testing but help is always welcome. Check how at the Ubuntu X team page [1].

Workaround field for bugs
Hi everybody, Unfortunately I missed the last IRC Meeting but I've seen on the log that Brian Murray informed you about his research (thanks again Brian!). For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the relevant links: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugsKnownWorkAround https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/54652 So, at moment around 10.000 bugs have information about workaround but the point is that the information is not properly exposed. One example is the bug #753971 ( http://pad.lv/753971 ) Workarounds for this bug would be: - Log in on Classic Mode since only Unity is affected - Downgrade unity to 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 sudo apt-get install unity=3.8.10-0ubuntu2 unity-common=3.8.10-0ubuntu2 But the information is spread on the comments, although this is a well known bug in Natty in which many well known developers have ran into (and as far I understand this case isn't included in Brian research because there's no workaround keyword on the description). So, my opinion is still that we need to improve the workaround exposition improving launchpad itself, but I don't know where to move the next step. Suggestions?

I'd suggest creating an official bug tag for workaround and using the tag to search for bug reports with workarounds as it is not easy to search bug descriptions. We could then take the list of bugs with variations of the word 'workaround' in the bug description and tag them with the workaround tag.
