Hello testers<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>All XOs on build 8.2.0-764 or 8.2.0-767<br><br><br>Moon-8 (Edward led test)<br>Wiki page exists and has good description of the activity. Has screenshots. Behaviour matches description.<br>
Test page exists.<br>
Rotate screen function does not display correctly on 90 degree and 270 degree turn - moon has sides chopped off, though text does display in full. Does display correctly at 180 degree turn. <br>Feature request - change date function would rock.<br>
Ticket #8992 created for rotate function.<br><br><br>Maze-6 (Tabitha led test)<br>Wiki page exists and has good description of the activity. Has screenshots. Behaviour matches description.<br>Test page exists.<br>Rotate screen function does not display correctly on 90 degree and 270 degree turn - no resize so only see half of maze and no scroll option. Does display correctly at 180 degree turn. <br>
We love the three players on one XO functionality using arrows on keyboard and the Left and Right of screen controllers. <br>Collaboration - random freeze 30 seconds into first maze two XOs, freeze for 10 seconds, then resumed with no further problems for several games. <br>
It would be good if maze could remember how far you have come (like ten games successfully completed) or if you could choose levels. <br>We could not "keep" a game. This function did not seem to work at all. So no save. :-(<br>
One XO can join the initiators maze and exit and rejoin again successfully, however another XO could not rejoin at all after exit, even with a fresh restart - it just starts its own maze. The initiator cannot rejoin the maze (with another XO still in it) once the initiator has left. <br>
Rename of activity does not work from within activity but can drag letters in name. Can rename from Journal.<br>Ticket #8992 created for rotate function.<br>Ticket #8994 created for renaming function. <br><br><br>Memorize-28 (Carl led test)<br>
Wiki page exists and has description of activity. Has screenshots. Behaviour matches description.<br>Test page exists. <br>Further information to come from Carl, but here is a start.<br>Collaboration of up to 4 XOs. Found that XOs joining part way through game did not synchronise correctly. So if a pair had already been identified by another XO the new XO did not see the cards won. It also stopped the process moving correctly between each players turn, so each XO shows that it is a different persons turn. Sometimes it crashed the game and no one could turn over the cards. Activity still running as can restart game. (Game state is not updated on client if the state has changed between the player clicking join and the player actaully joining the game. Result: New player is out of sync with with rest of game.)<br>
<br><br>Implode-5 (Alastair led test)<br>Wiki page exists and has description of activity. Has screenshot. Behaviour matches description.<br>Test page exists.<br>In the wiki page for this activity, found "test" section and a link to a test page - so there is <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Implode" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Implode</a> and <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Implode" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Implode</a><br>
On the tests/implode page there is a note that says using Journal creates new game. Found that clicking on the Journal entry actually does restore to appropriate state, not new game now. <br>Game keys work fine for game but need to be able to navigate a menu with them after finishing a game. <br>
Rotate screen works well. <br>In black and white mode green and orange blocks look very similar so harder to play. <br>Using game key arrows stops ability to start new game using the square (moves focus off game field). <br>
Collaboration not existent at all. Can see other XOs in the frame so appear to be collaborating in activity but the blocks are not being shared and each player can start new game without impacting on each others games. <br>
<br><br>General comments:<br>Multiple collaboration side of activities does not appear to be stress tested. <br>We need a better list of generic things to be tested on each activity... e.g. rotation, black and white mode, collaborate enabled/disabled (if not collaboration enabled then should not be able to share with neighbourhood), game key functionality, keep/save, re-enter activity from journal (and state) and re-enter activity from frame, invite vs join. Separate collaboration tests - simple mesh, school server, ad hoc network, access point. Test - does this activity have sound and does it work? Does this activity use webcam and does it work? <br>
How do we test the activity cleanly releases resources (like sound, webcam). Run all tests from a clean boot - i.e. the only activity run since restart. Also we should test how an activity impacts on other subsequent activities. Run all tests on two XOs if possible and note XO names (in case hardware differences).<br>
Less pages on the wiki would be easier for newbies. It is hard to work
out what to test and which page to update when there are many. <br><br><br>Ideas on building test/develop relationship:<br>In the community testing meeting can we ascertain who is a tester and who is a developer at the start of the meeting - it would be good if both there and mix/mingle a bit. <br>
It is helpful if testers email reports to developers and get feedback post their report (this has happened in the past so just keep it up). Keeping the "Upcoming features" part of activity pages is also of use to testers as we know that someone has thought of it and working on it so we don't need to ask for features multiple times. <br>
<br><br>Thanks to Alastair Munro, Edward Munro, Grant Patterson and Carl Klitscher for there testing efforts today. If anyone is free please join the community testing meeting IRC on Friday 11am NZ time.
