== How To Test ==

~~<!--This does not~~ need ~~to be~~ a ~~full-fledged document. Describe~~ the ~~dimensions of tests~~ that ~~this feature is expected~~ to ~~pass when it~~ is ~~done. If it needs to be tested with different hardware or software configurations, indicate them. The more specific you can be,~~ the ~~better~~ the ~~community testing can be.~~

===Under a tree===

* you need two computers with wireless capabilities

* on machine A reveal the palette of the network device (in the frame at the bottom) and click 'Create Network'

* a network item called "<your name>'s Network" is added in the neighborhood view

* on machine B connect to this network

* verify that both machines are connected to the same network; the network device is in connected state and both machines are in the same IP range (listed in the device item's palette)

~~''Remember that~~ you ~~are writing this how to for interested testers to use~~ to ~~check out your feature - documenting what~~ you ~~do for testing is OK, but it's much better~~ to ~~document what~~ *~~I* can do~~ to ~~test~~ your ~~feature.''~~

===Internet Connection sharing===

* you need two computers with wireless capabilities; one needs to either have a second wireless interface or a wired network interface; furthermore you need a wireless or wired connection to the internet

~~''A good "how to test" should answer these four questions:''~~

* connect the machine with two interfaces to your internet connection

* create on that machine an ad hoc network as well

* ~~''What special hardware / data / etc. is needed~~ (~~if any~~)?

* connect on the other machine (B) to that ad hoc network

* ~~''How do I prepare my system to test this feature? What packages need to~~ be ~~installed, config files edited, etc.?~~

* machine B should be able to use the internet connection of machine A; use for example the Browse activity to verify this

* ''What specific actions do I perform to ~~check that~~ the ~~feature is working like it's supposed~~ to?

* ''What are the expected results of those actions?''-->
