Hi Peter,
I'm more than willing to run the tests under WinXP, subject to
being told where the tests are and assuming adequate documentation.
Ok, if you like to run the automated tests, you will find general
information about the testtool here:
http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/index.html
You would need to download the testtool binary from this page (as the
one, that is included in 1.1.5 is brocken :-( ).
Done that.
The second thing you need, are the scripts. If you are used to cvs,
you may get them via cvs (checkout qa/qatesttool with tag ooo115 or
StarOffice7). If this is a problem to you, please tell me .. I'll
upload a zip file of all with this tag (but this will need a little
time).
If it's not too much trouble for you, the upload option might be best. I
know what cvs is in principle, but I've never used it - never had the
need before now. Whichever you think would be quickest - I need to
become au fait with cvs anyway.
If you have both, start the testtool. There is not much that needs to
be configured. Just the paths to the scripts, logfiles ... (see
http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/OOo_testtool.pdf, page 8). On
settings tab "Generic" you should add a Area "GUI Platform" and a
value of "501" for that area (to tell the testtool, you are running
on WinXP).
If all is configured, try to run a simple test. OOo must not be
running (it will be startet by the testtool). Load the script
framework\first\smoketest.bas and try to run it (hit F5).
If this works for you, you may run more tests, starting them manually
or you may use the batch file script\win32\OOoTestRun_win32.bat.
This will run most of the relevant tests. (You will ned to change the
batch file for your environment ... path to testtool etc.) Running
all tests in the batch will take about 20hrs. Unfortunately you
Computer will not be usable for other things during that time (that's
much better on Unix systems).
I have several machines. Is clock speed/processor significant in respect
of the 20 hour, single use requirement? If it meets your requirements I
would prefer to run under Win2K on an 800MHz Pentium III, but I can also
run under an Athlon 3200+ with WinXP if essential. I suppose that a 200
MHz Pentium Pro with Win NT is useless for testing?
But feel free to ask, if there are questions.
Thanks, I will!
