MeeGo SDK Test Plan

Scope of this Document

This is overall test plan for MeeGo SDK(Software Development Kit) of MeeGo open source project, which defines test scope, test strategy, test configurations as well as test execution cycle for MeeGo SDK. It will give readers an overview of validation activities for MeeGo SDK of MeeGo open source releases. A series of component test plans will also be linked in this overall test plan to cover the detailed test approaches and test design for ingredients of MeeGo SDK.

Features to Be Tested

Overall the MeeGo Core Testing will cover below host, target and testpoints:

• P1: Test focus with main functionality, make sure common case work
• P2: Nice to have for coming release
• TBD: not covered in coming release

Tools to set up develop environment

Check Pointer

What will not Be Tested

Following feature category won't be covered in MeeGo SDK testing.

• Only lightly test for SDK image, not check all of the functionalities or applications inside it, but only major deamon and service of it.
• Not test for SDK package or image building, only check the built out package or images.
• Not cover Meego compliance test, but only check key package versions which should align with Meego release.
• 64bit support is in plan, will be 2nd priority for testing.
• VirtualBox support is still under investiagtion, will be taken into consideration for next step.

Test Strategy and Approach

The overall objective of MeeGo SDK testing is to ensure MeeGo SDK provide stable environment for developers to program on host machine within simulator or emulator, conduct build and debugging inside it, deploy the application to target and remote debug on target. The test cycle, bug lifecycle defined below may not apply to SDK testing because of not clear about if distribution will be involved for short term, but it can be refered and modified after we get synchronized on these opens.

Test Cycle

MeeGo SDK will be tested from the following different test execution levels according to detail development, release status.

Weekly Testing

Weekly Testing is a test cycle against the weekly images released from distribution team. Usually the test frequency is twice a week, which aligns with distribution's weekly image release cadence.

It's an incremental testing and includes two parts in general: test the basic distribution health to report out regression, test new features when they are ready for testing. We will also do bug verification and regression test which is set of tests to verify that changes from the last build (code enhancements, bug fixes) don't introduce new issues to the previous working code. The purpose of weekly testing is to early test the new features, to track critical/major issues got fixed in timely fashion, and to report out the overall quality status of the whole image so that people could understand where we are.

Milestone Testing

In the formal test cycle for milestone test, after a new build passed the BAT test, test team will start the full validation testing for it.

Regression Testing

This is a set of tests to verify that changes from the last build (code enhancements, bug fixes) don’t introduce new issues to the previous working code as well as new features work as expected. This cycle include the tests for previous major bug fixes and areas of the code that will be affected by new implementation.

The regression test will be taken in following test cycle:

• In the test cycle for milestone release, before the release criteria is satisfied, it is possible that there are several release candidates which includes bug fixes for previous release candidates. These bug-fixes need be tested
• In the intermediate regular release, only the modified features need to be heavily tested.
• Bug verification on weekly basis to make sure the bug fixes be verified within one week after bug fixing

Bug life cycle

• Bug life cycle follow Meego general definition, refer to MeeGo bugzilla guide
• SDK has customized bugzilla to meet project characters, refer to SDK Bugzilla Components

Test Report

• Send Test report to mailing list
  • Weekly MeeGo SDK Test Report (Bug verification, new feature exploration...)
  • Distribution Milestone Full Pass Test report
• Archive reports at MeeGo SDK Quality wiki
