Title:
[testcases] Networking / NM Laptop Test section needs a revision
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
It appears that the Networking section for Laptop Testing, http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Plans/LaptopTesting , is outdated and needs to be rewritten by someone who knows what needs to be tested and how. The current test would fail every time as written. There is no longer a computer icon, so that may be an indication of how old this version was testing for. This is the section that will fail:
Verify Release of Device
Case ID: hcn-002
In the terminal, run sudo ifdown [interface] where [interface] is the interface name, above.
* In the terminal, run ifconfig and verify that only the loopback device ("lo") is listed.*
There is always at least four devices listed. Apparently a knowledgeable person can tell that the device is up or down but that is not what this question asks for. Someone tell me what we want and I will be glad to rewrite it. If we are looking for a device that is up or down, we need to write that in plain english so anyone can do this. I tried to address this as a question but was recommended that I file a bug.
1)lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04
2)apt-cache policy pkgname
N: Unable to locate package pkgname
Don't know where in the software center this information is.
3) I expected to test this application and give good, useful,
feedback.
4) I could not perform a useful test because of outdated testing
procedures.
