* add yourself here

= Prerequisite for Test Day =

* a USB Key (at least 2 GB)
* [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-beta.iso Download the SoaS v2 Beta]
* [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh Download the updated livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script]

{{admon/caution|Don't use your FAS password|This is just a demo instance to demonstrate a new reporting mechanism.  It is advised that you do '''not''' use your FAS password.  Feel free to create a new account, but do not use a password used for other important websites.}}

= How to test? =

# Download [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh livecd-iso-to-disk.sh] and [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-beta.iso soas-2-beta.iso] as noted in [[#Prerequisite for Test Day]].
# Verify that you downloaded the correct file by running {{command|sha1sum}} on the {{filename|soas-2-beta.iso}} file.  The results should look similar to those noted below
#: <pre>
#: 6b2a235251d545013c020ded05a8336eceff8114  soas-2-beta.iso</pre>
# As the ''root'' user, write the live image to your USB device by executing the following command:
#: <pre>
#: bash livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --unencrypted-home --home-size-mb 200 --overlay-size-mb 200 --format --reset-mbr soas-2-beta.iso /dev/sdx1</pre>

{{admon/caution|Mileage may vary|The {{command|livecd-iso-to-disk.sh}} command provides many parameters to fine tune your live image.  The most important parameter is the last parameter; the block device.  Be sure you are specifying the block device of your USB key ... and '''not''' your hard drive.  Additional guidance is available at [[How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB]].}}

= Test Cases =

== Don't forget ... ==

* In case you haven't used this wiki before, you might need to create an account before being able to login. When you're asked to login, click on ''Create Account'' and enter your FAS information, with which you should be able to submit your reports then.
* To add your smolt profile, start the ''Terminal Activity''.  Next, as the ''root'' user, execute the following commands:
<pre>
# yum update python-urlgrabber
# smoltSendProfile
</pre>
* In the ''Install Media'' section, please provide us with your USB key's name & model!

== Test Cases ==

=== SoaS_Boot ===

The following test validates booting the sugar on a stick live image.

# Put SoaS on a USB key using the instructions above.
# Insert USB key and boot for the first time: tell us how it goes!
# Try rebooting several times and report if you encountered any issues, i.e. whether the boot process got unreliable.

=== SoaS_Activity_Testing ===

# Boot into Sugar!
# Run three different Activities and report which ones you tried.
# If you have more than one machine available or coordinated with somebody else via IRC, please try the collaborative features and report if they work.

=== SoaS_Activity_Installation ===

{{admon/warning|Under development|The method described below is still under development and may wipe drives!  Check in on #fedora-test-day or look on this wiki page for the latest information.}}

# Boot into Sugar!
# Start the ''Terminal Activity'', become root and execute ''zyx-liveinstaller''.
# Click on ''Launch Partitioner'' and partition your hard disk in ''gparted'' by creating three partitions. 
#* a ''boot partition'', at least 512 MB
#* a ''/ partition'', at least 2 GB
#* a ''swap partition'', according to the amount of memory your machine has
# Close ''gparted'' and continue to click through the installation, where you will be presented an overview of the changes to be made.
# '''Optional Step:''' Unplug the USB key after the installation has finished but before rebooting to check if rebootless installation worked.
# Reboot your machine and report if the general installation succeeded.

= Test Results =

You may be familiar with previous Fedora Test Days.  All test results were reported into the wiki.  To report your experience for the ''Soas'' test day, we are using the '''new''' semantic wiki infrastructure that has been set up in sprint session in ''#fedora-qa''. 

== Add your results ==
For ''each'' of test case you work on ...
# '''Goto''' http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Form:Test_result
# If you haven't already done so, create a new wiki account and '''login'''
# '''Create''' a test result page following the naming convention: {{filename|Test_Case_Name - FAS_user_name}}, then click ''Add or edit''
# '''Complete''' the test result form as indicated (see [[:File:SoaS_Test_Result_Demo.jpg|screenshot]]).
