Hey, everyone! Just a reminder that the first GNOME 3 Test Day is
coming
next Thursday. I have the page up at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-03_GNOME3_Alpha , but
what we're really missing is good test cases; for now I've filled in
some of the standard desktop validation tests, and I'll update a few of
the others to match GNOME 3's mechanics and add those too, but it'd
really help to have some more specific test cases for whatever the
desktop team considers really important to test. If you don't want to
work out the details of writing full test cases, just quick one- or two-
liner suggestions in reply to this mail is fine; I can do the work of
fleshing them out into test cases, I just need suggestions of the most
important things we need to test at this stage.
Some thoughts from a quick skimming of the wiki page and the test cases:
- the volume control applet is now launched with 'gnome-control-center
sound', and not 'gnome-volume-control'.
- the desktop menus test case needs to be updated for GNOME Shell (you
probably already know that)
As for new test cases, I think it'd be nice to bulletproof some of the
more stable shell/control-center user interfaces at this stage...here's
a brief list of ideas:
- bluetooth: try connecting to a device and sending/receiving files from
it, using the system indicator provided by GNOME Shell
- background: try changing desktop background from the control center
widget, possibly covering all the fill options
- date and time: try changing date/clock time and timezone, and make
sure the shell picks up the changes correctly
- display: verify that dual monitor configurations work correctly with
the shell and the options provided by the control-center Display widget
work fine
- chat: make sure the shell-provided "inline" chat notifications work as
expected

Cosimo
