| thebishop | i know this is off topic, but does ubuntu use any software for managing test plans and hosting unit tests w/ scripts? | 13:52 |
| fader | thebishop: checkbox and jenkins for managing/executing tests, test cases are stored in the wiki I believe | 14:32 |
| fader | You might get better answers than I can provide on the Ubuntu QA mailing list :) | 14:32 |
| thebishop | fader, that's already helpful | 14:34 |
| thebishop | maybe i just need to use wiki for my project. what i have in mind is a wiki-like interface for documenting the whole test plan outline, with each section having links to the detailed test steps/objectives/results/etc, and a built-in repository for automation/scripts | 14:36 |
| thebishop | wiki basically does what i want, but i was hoping a test-specific package maybe with a dashboard view graphing test results and stuff | 14:37 |
| fader | Yeah, a wiki would probably work well for that, at least until you need to scale way up | 14:37 |
| fader | thebishop: There's a jenkins dashboard here if you want to see how it looks: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/ | 14:38 |

| fader | Though I can't tell you much more than the URL. No idea how to set one up :) | 14:39 |
| thebishop | fader, yeah, this is a cool ui, but jenkins seems more geared as a continuous integration build server with some automated tests | 14:39 |
| fader | Indeed | 14:39 |
| thebishop | we already have a build server, and what i'm looking for is really just managing test cases | 14:40 |
| fader | Yeah, no idea there, sorry :/ | 14:40 |
| thebishop | don't even need issue tracking, since we already have Trac | 14:40 |
| thebishop | fader, that's cool, i wasn't aware of jenkins or checkbox before | 14:40 |
| thebishop | fader, have you seen the Sikuli project? | 14:54 |
| thebishop | it's a pretty impressive gui-automation IDE that works through OCR on screenshots | 14:55 |
| thebishop | cross-platform :) | 14:55 |
| fader | thebishop: I have, actually :) When I was on the Ubuntu QA team we took a look at it and discussed using it, but decided not to | 14:56 |
| thebishop | fader, yeah? what were the cons? | 14:57 |
| fader | Mostly because we already had a project (written by ara) doing something similar but more Linux-centric called "mago" | 14:57 |
| thebishop | yeah i just read about mago | 14:57 |
| fader | IIRC the cons for us were that it required installation of the JRE, so it wasn't very useful for testing the default desktop or for install/ISO testing | 14:57 |
| fader | Whereas mago and preseeding could do that testing with a much lower footprint and do it faster | 14:58 |
| fader | Don't get me wrong, we though it was a really cool tool and one we wanted to keep an eye on. It just wasn't the right fit for our specific testing needs at that time | 14:58 |
| fader | I think I still have a VM somewhere with my sikuli playground on it :) | 14:59 |
| thebishop | i see | 14:59 |
| thebishop | i can understand how it wouldn't be ideal for those cases | 14:59 |
| thebishop | but man, it's ridiculously better than any gui-automation i've used in the past, including some pretty expensive solutions | 14:59 |
| fader | Yeah, it's a really slick tool | 15:01 |
| Janusman | question: I successfully found out how to get an All-in-one PC working (Lenovo C205) with Natty. Where should I share this? | 18:02 |
| goshawk | hi | 23:49 |
| goshawk | i'm testing oneiric beta 1 server and i found that if the server has a power-cut, when it's powered on it stucks on grub menu by default | 23:49 |
| goshawk | i think it's a thing people do not want | 23:50 |
| goshawk | on a server | 23:50 |
| goshawk | anyone ? | 23:58 |
| goshawk | should i file a bu ? | 23:58 |
| goshawk | bug ? | 23:58 |
