Testing Summary: Auckland 26 March 2011<div><br></div><div>Tested build au862 on XO-1.0 on MESH 1</div><div><br></div><div>Speak - basic speak functions work, pitch/rate adjustment, mouth/eyes change, robot responds (still doesn't know its own name), </div>
<div>When testing spanish robot if you use the upside down question mark ¿ (as one should) the robot doesn't recognise the string in some cases and opposite in others. The robot can answer "Where do you live?" in English with "Earth" but "de dónde eres?" in spanish is answered with "vivo en" with no place followed by "¿y tú?". </div>
<div>Audio chat via MESH 1 works with two XOs. </div><div><br></div><div>Record - could collaboratively take photos, videos, audio and see them on each others XOs. There was a delay before it started recording audio but the user didn't know (so missed first line of the song being sung). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Maze - works, collaborate started but one XO froze and couldn't move (happened a few times) </div><div><br></div><div>Write - collaborated with 3 XOs. Sometimes if someone is joining while someone is typing everyone loses the bit that was being written. Added image that we took in Record. It can be really hard to resize images. Added table successfully.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Scratch - created basic script with sound and movement and it worked, icon in Sugar home view didn't change colour when played</div><div><br></div><div>Paint - tested functions work, created minor masterpieces, can add image from journal but cannot resize it (though can mirror and put upside down). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Read - no books to read :-(<br></div><div><br></div><div>Turtleart - basic testing worked, could create basic script and could show images from journal. </div><div><br></div><div>Chat - worked with two XOs</div>
<div><br></div><div>Music painter - broken, won't play</div><div><br></div><div>Deducto - one user tested, couldn't figure out how to play</div><div><br></div><div>Typing turtle - liked getting a medal, certificate and positive feedback, works, hard for adults on small keyboard</div>
<div><br></div><div>Labyrinth - works, could add a picture, could add links and labels</div><div><br></div><div>Clock - could see three types of clock, display time in full letters and display weekday and date. Talking clock didn't seem to do anything. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Tessellations - really hard to do with the touchpad, easier with a mouse, this is the "pygame mouse issue", not the "funky xo-1 touch pad issue". Even using a mouse, i accidentally stopped activity because of the stupid mouse issue after completing 10 of 12 tessellations, then when restarting the activity it took me back to level 0, not very happy at all. Luckily starting from the journal allowed me to go back to level 11. There needs to be an option to choose the level from within the game. This activity probably should not be included in XO-1.0 build due to the touchpad difficulties, better suited to SoaS with a mouse. The last pattern is the most awesome. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Implode works.</div><div><br></div><div>Physics works.</div><div><br></div><div>Memorize - collaborated with 3 XOs but first game it got muddled as to whose turn it is and we ended up all having to quit as it just got more muddled as to what was going on. started a new game and all joined it.second game got muddled as well. Third game (each game a different XO started game) and this time we joined the game one at a time with big waits in between. But worked. Tested numbers, letters and music. <br>
<br><br><br></div>
<div><br></div><div>We had a 10yo so we gave her an XO-1.5 to use while we tested, it was running 861 10.1.3-au2 Sugar 0.84.31. Here are her comments (some written by me and some by her, sorry for the changing between 1st and 3rd person)... </div>
<div>Physics you could use this for maths for learning about weights and balancing, could you add a scale please? and other than that I liked it!!!</div>
<div>Wikipedia you could use wikipedia for writing and reading, all subjects, could help teachers decide what to do (planning)</div><div>Browse you could use for ICT</div><div>Turtleart you could use for ICT, art, maths</div>
<div>Write - she likes the fonts, is good for writing and topic studies, she wonders if you type a swear word can Write stop you from writing anymore and make you take it out, </div><div>Finance is good for learning maths</div>
<div>Chat could be used as a writing activity</div><div>GCompris Click game could be used for eye training but could be harder </div><div>tam tam mini activity could be for music</div><div>read needs books so that you can read</div>
<div>scratch could be used for art</div><div>tuxmath could be used for math and I found it really fun</div><div>arithmetic activity is fun can be used math could be harder</div><div>implode can be for a math game early finshers</div>
