Ekiga pre-release test flow
It's a fact that we released buggy code in the past. A "normal" bug - something very hidden - is not the problem. That happens. But a bug that's something obvious and that just wasn't fixed because nobody tested some simple use-cases, is bad. To minimize that risk in future, we should follow a basic test-flow.
Basic source code review
- configure[.in] checks for the right versions of PWLib/OPAL
- configure script was generated
Compile time
For these tests, please compile with LC_ALL=C set in environment.
- make >/dev/null - any error messages?
Runtime
For all runtime tests, please run Ekiga with LC_ALL=C set in environment. That ensures the strings specified in the code are used, and the error messages tell us something.
The basic structure of the runtime tests follows the categories describing the features of Ekiga.
GUI general
- Obvious HIG violations?
- Typos in strings?
- Something written unclear? Everything makes sense?
- Do all hotkeys work?
- Breaking behaviour of popup-windows?
- Does the tray icon work like intended?
Documentation
Verify the documentation follows recommendations from the GNOME Documentation Style Guide and the GNOME Handbook of Writing Software Documentation.
