'~~''Changing in a few minutes~~ - ~~it's~~ a ~~draft, I'm still writing this~~. [[~~User:Mchua|Mchua~~]] 16:~~00,~~ 21 June ~~2010 (EDT)'''~~

Our test process, which is under construction, will consist of the following:

# An agreed-upon image each week for testers to attack (the daily build on $datetime of each week, for instance)

# An agreed-upon set of test cases for them to execute (iow, the "test plan" thing we haven't had before)

# An agreed-upon place and format for the results from running those test cases to be reported to

# An agreed-upon $datetime each week by which all test results for that week will be submitted - so that the development team has a chance to look at those results and revise the build before the next test image goes out.

The first thing we are doing is getting a weekly image under test to automatically appear at a static link; see [[#Test image]] below. We are going to set up a cron job so the nightly build (from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/ - which we need to start up again from the Fedora side) grabs and archives the appropriate image-under-test each week.

The last weekly testing update was 6/21/2010: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2010-June/001560.html

~~Our build/test/release process can be summarized as follows:~~

=== Test image ===

~~1) An agreed-upon~~ image ~~each week for testers to attack (~~the ~~daily~~ build on ~~$datetime of each week, for instance)~~

The test image is the most recent [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/ nightly build] as of 23:59:59 on the most recent Thursday. Past test images are available at http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/test/.

~~2) An agreed-upon set of test~~ cases ~~for them to execute (iow, the "test plan" thing we haven't had before)~~

=== Test cases ===

~~3) An agreed-upon place and format for the results from running those~~ test cases ~~to be reported to~~

We do not yet have test cases. They will appear here when they are available.

~~4) An agreed~~-~~upon $datetime each week by which all test results for that week will be submitted~~ - ~~so that the development team has a chance to look at those results~~ and ~~revise the build before the next test image goes out.~~

A basic template for reporting simple smoke test results is [[Testing/Activity Test Table]]. This needs to be moved to a proper namespace, and instructions need to be written. Instructions will be listed here when they are available.
