We were hoping that the effort to get autotesting for flavour iso's
would work out - it hasn't yet.
During the last cycle we had an iso test on the tracker (Image Test)
which was a manual effort to check the iso boot and document it, this
has now been removed.
From this cycle forward we will be using http://dev.xubuntu.org/#tab-qa
to document the current development Daily iso status.
The tracker tab should be fairly self-explanatory - a green tick for a
pass, a red cross for a fail. When it resets, at 02:00 UTC, it will show
the last recorded result in a dimmer green or red with (unconfirmed)
alongside.
It is still a manual check - it get's done once daily, early morning UTC
by a member of Xubuntu's QA team.
To make this clear - _this only tests that our iso(s) boot to a desktop_
- it does not test applications and/or installation from the iso - those
tests all still need to be run.
It is intended only to make it obvious to our testers if there is a
known boot issue with an iso.
Thanks to Pasi from the Xubuntu team for setting up this tracker page.
