Because of the impending 0.84 release and the need to have a simple answer to the question "does build X work?" Colin, Elsa, and I came up with http://sugarlabs.org/go/Smoke_test. It is meant to be a <20min "does this build work?" test for developers. It can also be used to verify that your new development/testing environment has set up correctly, or as a quick (but boring) intro to Sugar's basic functionality.
As you can see, this smoke test only tests Sugar. It uses some Activities in Glucose to verify basic sugar functionalities, but it does not smoke test that Glucose Activities themselves work; we'd encourage Activity maintainers to make smoke tests for their Activities. There are (again, draft) instructions - http://sugarlabs.org/go/Creating_a_smoke_test will hopefully be enough to start. This is a draft/stub; edits/comments/criticism/help is very welcome, both of the tests and the format they're listed on in the wiki. Work on this will continue; I'll be running these smoke tests myself on Monday and Tuesday during QA Party Time (Join us on IRC! http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-February/011970.html) Needed: * a link to good 0.84 installation/setup instructions (step-by-step "here's how to set up to test our latest build" directions) - can someone point us in the direction of whatever is considered canonical for this release? * crucial features list and test cases to be finished/uploaded (Colin, I think you have our features list, can you upload?)
