Test Plan

This test plan is not supposed to be complete; use it to guide your manual testing so they don't miss big functional areas that are part in the component; also this should be used as guideline to inspire the exploratory testing which should be adapted smartly based on the real content of a MP

  • Successful run of automated CI testing
  • In addition update desktop from archive
    • Install packages from build silo:
      • $ sudo apt install mir-demos mir-graphics-drivers-desktop
  • Mir-on-X
    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.). These tests run for a default 10 seconds,
    • Start a terminal sessions to launch the tests.
    • Test that S/W rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ mir_demo_server --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_multiwin

    • Test that EGL rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ mir_demo_server --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle

  • Mir-on-Mir
    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.). These tests run for a default 10 seconds.
    • Start two terminal sessions, one for a "host" server, one to launch the tests.

      • Start a "host" server: $ mir_demo_server --window-manager system-compositor

    • Test that S/W rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ mir_demo_server --no-file --host $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_multiwin

    • Test that EGL rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ mir_demo_server --no-file --host $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle

    • Close the "host" server
  • Mir-on-KMS
    • go to a VT. These tests run for a default 10 seconds.
    • Test that S/W rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ sudo mir_demo_server --no-file --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_multiwin

    • Test that EGL rendering clients run and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ sudo mir_demo_server --no-file --test-timeout 10 --test-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle

  • Basic GDK support On zesty and Xenial

    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.). Note that support by the demo server is limited: e.g. menus and popups need not appear in the correct place.
    • Start two terminal sessions, one for a Mir server, one to launch the tests.

      • Start a server: $ mir_demo_server

    • Test that gnome-terminal runs and can be moved(resized) with Alt+Left(Middle)-Button:

      • $ GDK_BACKEND=mir gnome-terminal --app-id com.canonical.mir.Terminal

    • Test that GDK applications can be run from the terminal:

      • $ gedit

    • Close the server
  • Basic Qt support
    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.). Note that support by the demo server is limited: e.g. menus and popups need not appear in the correct place.
    • Start two terminal sessions, one for a Mir server, one to launch the tests.

      • Install Qt support and kate: $ sudo apt install qtubuntu-desktop kate

      • Start a server: $ mir_demo_server

    • Test that qterminal runs:

      • $ unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME

      • $ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=ubuntumirclient qterminal

    • Test that Qt applications can be run from the terminal:

      • $ kate

    • Close the server
  • Basic SDL support
    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.).
    • Start two terminal sessions, one for a Mir server, one to launch the test.

      • Install a sample SDL application: $ sudo apt install 7kaa

      • Start a server: $ mir_demo_server

    • Test that 7kaa runs and can be used:

      • $ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=mir 7kaa

      • Note that 7kaa crashes on exit: That is not a problem for this test.

    • Close the server
  • Basic X11 support
    • Use an X11 based desktop (Unity, Gnome, etc.).
    • Start three terminal sessions, one for a Mir server, one for Xmir, one to launch the test.

      • Install Xmir: $ sudo apt install xmir

      • Start a server: $ mir_demo_server

      • Start Xmir: $ Xmir -rootless :2

    • Test that gedit runs on Xmir and can be used:

      • $ DISPLAY=:2 gedit

      • Interact with gedit, write a text document, save it, load another.

  • MirAL support On zesty and later

    • install kate, neverball, qtubuntu-desktop, mir-graphics-drivers-desktop, mir-demos, qterminal

    • Run the example: $ miral-desktop

      • This should switch you to a miral "desktop" on VT4 with a gnome terminal window
      • Ensure that gtk applications (e.g. gedit) can be launched from the terminal and used

        • At present, on Artful, gtk-mir doesn't always render to the correct size. MirAL/Mir is not thought to be the cause.

      • Ensure that Qt applications (e.g. kate) can be launched from the terminal and used

        • At present kate has problems on qemu-kvm - it presents a blank, unresponsive, "untitled" window. This is Mir bug lp:1639745 (see second note below).

      • Ensure that SDL applications (e.g. neverball) can be launched from the terminal and used

        • At present SDL applications sometimes exhibit problems on exit (7kaa often segfaults, neverball often hangs). MirAL/Mir is not thought to be the cause.

      • Exit the MirAL desktop by closing the terminal session

    • Run the example: $ sudo mir_demo_server --vt 4 --arw-file --window-manager system-compositor

      • This should switch you to VT4 with blank screen
      • switch back to your desktop and start another terminal session (used for the next two tests)

    • Run the example: $ miral-app --host /tmp/mir_socket --window-manager tiling

      • switch back to VT4
      • This should switch you to a tiling MirAL "desktop" on VT4 with a fullscreen gnome terminal

      • repeat the application sanity tests as above the active application will be on the left of the display

      • after exiting the terminal session switch back to your desktop

    • Run the example: $ miral-app -kiosk -launcher qterminal --host /tmp/mir_socket

      • switch back to VT4
      • This should switch you to a tiling MirAL "desktop" on VT4 with a fullscreen qterminal

      • repeat the application sanity tests as above the active application will be fullscreen

      • after exiting the terminal session exit mir_demo_server by Ctrl-Alt-BkSp

    Note: To "kill" an unresponsive app use Alt-Shift-F4

  • Unity8 support On zesty only

    • Install unity8-desktop-session: $ sudo apt install unity8-desktop-session

    • login to unity8 desktop and utilize applications such as browser, play with dash
    • allow screen to blank, wake up
