Test management overview

Manual and Semi-automated Testing

The main phases for manual and semi-automated testing are test planning, execution and reporting.

The figure below illustrates the process. The process is explained in more detail after the figure.

Test Planning

• Test plans are created and edited by using Testplanner
  • The test cases can be linked to specific bug and feature ID's
• The created test plans are avalaible at Gitorious repositories
  • In addition to plain XML format, the test plans can also be viewed in more user-friendly format as presented at testplans.meego.com/
• Since Gitorious is a version control system, the plans can be used and edited by several users
• The decision on which tests are to be executed is done in weekly test management meetings

Test Execution

• The tests can be executed by several test engineers by using different execution tools
  • Testing can be done manually or by using automated testing environment OTS
• The testing is done by using agreed MeeGo release
• Testrunner and testrunner-lite are tools that can execute test plan files and produce results in specified XML format

Test Reporting

• The results can be published at qa-reports.meego.com either manually or automatically
• The report shows the results for each test case and for each feature or bug

Automated Testing

The work flow in a nut shell with fully automated testing goes like this

• BOSS creates test automation enabled images from OBS projects (This part is not working yet. Currently OTS uses self made images.)
• OTS downloads the image and installs it to a device under test
• OTS executes tests found in the image
• OTS sends results to qa-reports.meego.com
