Forwarding to Sugar-devel.. <div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tim McNamara <<a href="mailto:mcnamara.tim@gmail.com" target="_blank">mcnamara.tim@gmail.com</a>> Date: Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 4:43 PM Subject: Testing Summary - Wellington, 9 Oct 2010 To: OLPC NZ <<a href="mailto:olpc-nz@lists.laptop.org" target="_blank">olpc-nz@lists.laptop.org</a>> Really nice day today! Attendees: - Tim, Alastair, Kristina, Grant Non-testing activities: - Introduced OLPC/Sugar to a teacher and a few kids - Introduced Wtgn folk to the test request page, seemed to be support for it - Discussion on using luggage tags so that we can identify which computer belongs to who from the outside - Bare beginnings of testing manual (at bottom of message) ## spirolaterals-2 Tim => - perhaps rename activity to "spin", in keeping with Sugar HIG (Activities as verbs) - the background of icon while loading seems to pulse while loading - immediate thought: seems like a matching game, how do I make my turtle move? - had to click around on a few things before anything responded Here is a recording of things that I discovered.. - "cyan" gives me a new puzzle - hints can appear => thought: oh, the *are* significant - "green" means go - "black" means refresh (?) - ah! the turtle does its own looping! (orignally thought I needed to tell the turtle some how to loop a few times - the turtle only turns right? Alastair => - confused at first about the purpose of each of the buttons - clicking on the wizard brings up hints ## filemix-2 Tim => - perhaps rename activity to "mix", in keeping with Sugar HIG (Activities as verbs) - neat icon - no pulsing icon on load :( - immediate thoughts: super cool concept - perhaps use the user's colours, rather than olive green for the buttons? - had no files to test with - *lots* of text - I would like to tuck lots of this away in future versions - "You are urged to make your own" - perhaps reference a sound recording activity? - "midi device required" - how do I know if I have one? - shouldn't the activity be able to let me know? - suggestions for future versions: - make files selectable, renaming to soundin.1, ... ,soundin.4 is a lot of work - run through a diagnostics dialogue with sample files: - can you hear this? MIDI, MP3, OGG, WAV, ... Alastair => - no audio to test with ## juegos_flash-2 - coloured icon - flash would wouldn't render the chess board at the start - seems to be a compilation of non-free flash games from various sites - gnash gave me English menus, everything else in Spanish - "Penales" - "All rights reserved Flashfooty.com" FTW - games failed to load after 20 secs - "Penales2" - "Games1.com" Ad ?? - in English - selecting a team didn't seem to do anything - "EncontrarObjectos" - failed to load in < 20 secs on XO-1.5 - "Bar" - "Welcome to our pre-party cocktail mixing game for cocktail connoisseurs... or not as the case may be!" - omg, it's actually a game about alcohol consumption - kinda cute, in it's own way. Provides instructions along the way, which is what I had expected from spirolaterals - "Cocinarpizza" - seemed unresponsive to the XO's mousepad - "Ajedrez" - argh, flashing chess game again - "Futbal" - ran very slowly - when missing a goal, the text is "undefined" - "Tesoro" - loaded well, a little slow on XO-1.5 - teacher seemed to be silent - "Pes2002" - heavily screen flickering (gave up after 20sec) - "Bolos" - failed to load once "Play" was clicked" - "QueHariasConTuEx" - from "<a href="http://whackyourex.com" target="_blank">whackyourex.com</a>" - game does what it says ## F14/SoaS 4 Tim => - x86_84 failed to loaded - i386 takes a *long* time to load from the .iso - icon is the native Fedora icon until the Home view loads - have been asked to enter a new keyring password (obsessively # Frame - selecting 'My Settings' from frame resulted in the computer crashing # My settings - horizontal scrolling is annoying "Language" - languages are in English - took a while to load - restart dialogue: does it need to say "Warning"? "Software update" - appears to check things properly, but doesn't allow me to actually conduct an upgrade. The screen just goes blank. # changed to german - long time to load, screen went blank for about 20s a few times and flicked between a "thinking" icon, boot-up text, keyring password dialogue with assorted random character goodness - possibly disable the language option on the SoaS iso - restarted the VM, things worked find Kristina => - hard to get .iso file playing nicely on the Macbook. ## visualmatch-36 Alastair => - needs a bigger indicator that the game is finished Kristina => - seems to work really well Grant => - couldn't find any bugs - it's hard on hard! ## sliderule-21 Kristina => - failed to load: log exerpt :- /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sugar/util.py:25: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha 1286581194.867893 WARNING root: No gtk.AccelGroup in the top level window. 1286581197.192313 WARNING root: No gtk.AccelGroup in the top level window.

Should we grey things out that are not in plain text? ----- Testing Manual There are two types of tests that people generally do when we are supporting OLPC and Sugar Labs. - general mucking about: - we want to learn if there are any behviours that seem normal to the software developers that doen't seem normal to new users, especially kids. - we want to hold activites to a consistent standard. This means that buttons do what they say they do. - regression testing: - testing that a fix to bug actually fixes the problem it says it does - testing that a fix doesn't cause something else to reoccur </div> </div>
