Testing plans

0.88 Features

For instructions how to test the Features listed below please have a look at the section "How to test" of each Feature page.

• Enhanced Gettext Testing plan - Enhanced Gettext adds an extra search path for translation files for Sugar activities. This would allow deployments to add and update activity translations independently of the release process.

• 3G Support Testing plan - Allow the Sugar user to connect to 3G networks.

• Font configuration - Distributors/deployers need a way to be able to customize the Sugar font size.

Language Tests

• Test your own native language (can be set using the Control Panel).
  • is the 3G Feature listed in the section above fully translated?

How to write a good bug report

You should note the following in the bug report:

• the version you are using
• steps to reproduce

In most cases it is of interest to the developers to look at the Sugar logs. Instructions how to get the logs can be seen here.
