Now it's time to add some more testing around these applications as they have reached a basic functional level of usability. Automated testing via autopilot to the rescue!
To help kickstart this process we've put together a recipe for writing autopilot tests specific to QML applications and added it to developer.ubuntu.com. In addition, we'll be hosting a hackfest next week on June 13th to help add basic autopilot testcases for each of the core apps. Folks will be on-hand ready to field your questions and hack together on the autopilot testcases needed for the applications. Join us and help support the wonderful community of application developers making awesome applications for ubuntu!
So how can you help?
- First, go read through the recipe on writing autopilot tests for QML applications. It's also a good idea to have a look through the official tutorial for autopilot and bookmark the API reference link so it's handy.
- Armed with your new knowledge, start hacking on some autopilot tests for the core apps. Here's a list of core applications along with the status of autopilot tests. Choose something that looks interesting to you and add some tests.
- Follow the contributing guide to help you get your work contributed into the ubuntu touch core application project you chose.
- Finally come out to the hackfest! It's your chance to share your work, ask questions, get your tests sorted and merged and socialize and meet other members of the community.
- Don't forget there is a wonderful quality community you can be a part of and get help from if you get stuck! There's a mailing list for ubuntu-touch, and ubuntu-quality as well as IRC channels #ubuntu-touch, #ubuntu-autopilot and #ubuntu-quality. Use these resources to help you!
