Hi Everyone,
So I started looking at the packages for the various metas and the
list of bugs already created for testcases.
Now, the majority of the applications used for the metas don't mean a
great deal to me. I /think/ I've got the bulk of them using apt-cache
show and synaptic ;) but I am in no doubt that things will be
missing, there that don't need to be. You get the picture.
What I'd really like is for people to check the wiki [1] I created
for a few things.
1 - do apps with testcase bug missing NEED one - if so please create
a suitable bug ( a link to the right place is on the wiki)
2 - if there is an app on the list - that DOESN'T need a testcase -
please remove it from the list
3 - do apps that have a bug - NEED one - if they don't please mark
the bug INVALID - if you can't then let me know
Next - we'll need to try and set some sort of priority for them all.
I can't do that.
*Writing testcases*
This is the crux of the issue, we can create all the lists we want,
we can create the tracker - but without the testcases that is all
completely pointless.
What I would like to know is who can help to write them, they aren't
particularly complicated to write - but they do need a knowledge of
the application - I could write a testcase for each one in an hour or
so - but all you'd be checking is does it start - does it close :)
So - if you'd like to get involved with pushing this forward - and,
like me have always wondered how you can contribute as you're not a
coder, then *now* is your chance.
It will be a fair bit of work to get them written - but it can be done.
If that is /you, /reply to this mail and we can make a start.
If there is a need to do so I can run a quick IRC session on the
basics of what you'll need to know.
Any questions feel free to ask.
Regards
Elfy

Hi Elfy,
I hope I can be one of the helping hands here. But as I am pretty new
to doing music stuff with Linux, I hope to use the exercise of doing
test cases to get to know the Ubuntu Studio applications. This will be
combined with a bit of bug triaging, which also helps to identify use
cases that could be test cases (some bug reporters also have unusual
use cases which will be ignored for now ;-) ).
As a first step I have added Audacious to the list of Test Cases. I
found a bug requesting a test case, which is "Fix Released", but it
does not appear in the qatracker yet. The bug pointed me to the
relevant lp branch for the test suite, and I was able to work through
it. I would like to expand the test suite with two more test cases
(playing a midi file & playing a CD).
So I suppose I should submit a new bug against ubuntu-manual-tests
asking for the extra test cases, and then I could merge the existing
one to my own branch & begin working on it?
Regards,
Ross
Hi Ross,
I've just read this after I found the pending audacious testcase update
mp - that's all done and synced to the package tracker now - so thanks
for that :)
