How do you test
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Testing follows these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* Set up your testing environment
|
||||
* Pick something to test
|
||||
* Test it
|
||||
* Back to 2 until something unexpected/bad happens
|
||||
* Check if what you found is really a bug
|
||||
* File the bug
|
||||
|
||||
Installing ownCloud
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
Testing starts with setting up a testing environment. We urge you to not put your production data on testing
|
||||
releases unless you have a backup somewhere!
|
||||
|
||||
Start by installing ownCloud, either on real hardware or in a VM.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find instructions for installation in the `admin documentation <../../admin_manual/#installation>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that we are still working on the documentation and if you bump into a problem, you can
|
||||
`help us fix it <https://github.com/owncloud/documentation>`_. Small things can be edited straight on github.
|
||||
|
||||
The Real Testing
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
Testing is a matter of trying out some scenarios you decide or were asked to test, for example, sharing a folder
|
||||
and mounting it on another ownCloud instance. If it works – awesome, move on. If it doesn't, find out
|
||||
as much as you can about why it doesn't and use that for a bug report.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the stage where you should see if your issue is already reported by checking the issue
|
||||
tracker. It might even be fixed, sometimes! It can also be fruitful to contact the
|
||||
`developers on irc <irc://freenode/#owncloud-dev>`_. Tell them you're testing ownCloud
|
||||
and share what problem you bumped into. Or just ask on the test-pilots mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, if the issue you bump into is a clear bug and the developers are not aware of it, file it as a new issue. See :doc:`../bugtracker`
