Testing Summary - 24 September 2011, Auckland NZ
Who: Fabiana, Oliver, Tabitha, Tom

Testing os6 customized on XO-1.75, XO-1.5 and XO-1

On XO-1.75:
Makes a loud scratchy noise after the start chimes.
Boot hangs with a white screen, had to fix with instructions from a ticket,
fonts a little funky now
Seems slower than os42 especially to start activities
Maze 12 was much too big and didn't fit on the screen
Stopwatch 11 worked
Paint 36 worked
Clock 6 was mute but otherwise worked
Implode 10 worked
Memorize 38
- sometimes incredibly slow (several seconds to respond to mouse
clicks), other times normal
- doesn't seem possible to save games that you create
- not clear how to create a new game -- it appears that you are deleting
the preloaded games but actually you're not
- new icons have confusing hover names
- no sound on sound games
- what is a grouped game? we think we know what a set equal pairs is
- got a "keep error" when pressing stop, and further errors when pressing
stop anyway, see attached log

Issues turning your/mine and you/I in conversation
Q: What is your name

XO-1
Physics
Crash on large squiggly drawing (reported before) otherwise fine

Memorise:
Fine except:
No longer a way of creating a new game and naming it for later use. The
edited game gets saved in the journal but we could only find the latest
version
After editing a game, the horizontal edges of the tiles disappear. Appears
to only happen with the 4x4 tiling

Implode
OK

Record
Photo ok
 Video with audio ok
Audio ok

Browse
Can connect to wifi, download games from activities site

Visual match
Not intuitively clear how to go about the activity, finally figured it out.
At some point a black tile with a yellow smiley face appeared and was unable
to get it to go away

Attempted to modify Measure to display the laptop battery voltage. Made
some progress but audiograb.py has a fairly complex and somewhat
incestuous relationship to the rest of the application. How do you tell
what is public api and what is private? Encountered many application
state incoherences (mostly failed to start error but app starts anyway
and application still running but gone from the frame (noticed this when
I ran out of memory)).

Noticed that, on XO-1 at least, the frame state can be lost, leaving the
frame permanently on the screen until you mouse in and out. Pressing the
frame key or clicking on the application does not get rid of it. This
seems to happen when the mouse very briefly activates the frame, perhaps
it is missing the onmouseout event because the mouse is gone before the
frame opens?
