Description

This test case verifies that BRLTTY functions correctly in Fedora, providing access to the console using a Braille display.

Setup

  • Install the pre-release version of Fedora that is to be tested on a bare metal or virtual machine, ensuring that BRLTTY is included in the installation.
  • Connect a supported Braille display to the system.

How to test

  1. Power on the system and wait for it to boot up.
  2. At the login screen, ensure that the Braille display is showing output from the console.
  3. Login using the console and observe the Braille output for correctness.
  4. Perform various console operations (e.g., listing directory contents, viewing files) and verify that updates are accurately reflected on the Braille display.
  5. Test the responsiveness of the Braille display by rapidly entering commands and checking for lag in the Braille output.
  6. Restart the system and repeat steps 2 to 5.

Expected Results

  1. The Braille display should initialize and start showing console output at the login screen without errors.
  2. Braille output must accurately reflect console content throughout the test.
  3. All entered commands should be correctly updated and displayed on the Braille device.
  4. System restarts should not affect the functionality of BRLTTY, with the Braille display continuing to work as expected.

Optional

Optionally, testers can try connecting different models of Braille displays to check device compatibility or simulate low power scenarios to see how BRLTTY handles display connectivity issues.
