Test plan for 0.9.0

FreeMind Test Plan for Release 0.9.0 - version 0.1

NOTE: This is a DRAFT Document that is currently under construction.

This test plan is meant to be used as a rough guideline for testing the FreeMind application. Right now, all testing is done manually. We hope to automate at least some of the testing in the future, but for now, the more people we have testing, the more likely we'll catch all the bugs.

Important: This is version 0.1 of the test plan. If you are testing using this plan, make sure you give us the version of the test plan and the test number, which is the number beside the heading. For instance the test number for the File->New menu item is 1.1.1.1 in Test Plan 0.1. Some tests will have additional test items within them. Those items should be numbered. So, the first test in the File menu test should be numbered 1, so the full designation of the test is Plan Version 0.1 Test 1.1.1.1 Step 1. This will help us understand the problem more quickly. As with all bug reporting, when in doubt, write it down. The more information we have, the better.

This test plan should represent the version of Free Mind that is currently being considered for release, or being actively developed. (Later, we'll split the test plan into two versions, one for the current release, and one for the release under development. If Hotkey: necessary, we can add others later, but I suspect two is all we can expect to maintain.)

Basic Menu Functions

These tests are meant to test all the menu choices and make sure they work properly.

File Menu

New

Hotkey: Ctrl-N

1. Verify that using the File->New menu item opens a new Mind Map in the main window without destroying or closing any currently open Mind Maps.
2. Verify that pressing Ctrl-N produces the same result as selecting the menu item.

Open

Hotkey: Ctrl-O

1. Selecting File->Open should give you a dialog box that allows you to select a previously created MindMap. When you hit the Open button, the mind map file should be loaded into the program and displayed.
2. Using Ctrl-O should give you the same results as the previous step.
