|
SMALL/SIMPLE.
Each single test suite within a module
test case has a value of 25 points. However, not all test suites are
relevant to
localization. Choose wisely. Install and uninstall module procedures
are useful to see
messages. Any test case or suite that displays windows, panels, menus,
and buttons will help to test the UI.
|
50
|
MEDIUM.
Each single test suite within a module
test case has a value of 50 points. However, not all test suites are
relevant to
localization. Choose wisely. Install and uninstall module procedures
are useful to see
messages. Any test case or suite that displays windows, panels, menus,
and buttons will help to test the UI.

LARGE/DIFFICULT.
Each single test suite within a module
test case has a value of 75 points. However, not all test suites are
relevant to

Propose or create a new test

How
to Perform
Localization Testing
This testing consists of downloading and
installing the
latest
daily build
(Multilingual contains Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified
Chinese, and English), then choosing a configuration (OS, browser, Java
SE, App/Web Server, or Database, depending on the test case). Perform
either the
standard or
advanced testing detailed
below. Add
your name to the
NB wiki
test assignment matrix so
others will cover more configuration options. Upon completion of
the test, enter the PASS/FAIL into the assignment matrix and any bug
IDs. To receive points, send an email as specified below.
Although the primary new feature for NB 5.5 is JavaEE 5, none of the
NetBeans IDE product has ever been tested in Brazilian Portuguese.
Therefore, we will focus on much more than just the new features. It is
recommended to test as much of the product as possible to see as
many of the UI and messages as possible.
Standard
Testing
This means to install the product and follow one
of the tutorials,
checking the localized
Brazilian Portuguese UI and messages against the same English ones,
reviewing it for completeness, accuracy, correctness and terminology as
defined in
Purpose
of Localization Testing.
Follow the test cases here:
http://translatedfiles.netbeans.org/pt_BR/contest-standard-testing.html.
Advanced
Testing
This type of testing is quite extensive and
recommended for
intermediate to advanced developers or testers. It can be useful for
testing specific and individual modules. Follow the test cases here:
http://translatedfiles.netbeans.org/pt_BR/contest-advanced-testing.html.
Logging
Test
Assignments and Results
A matrix like this one will be created on the
NB
Brazilian Portuguese
wiki so that each participant can update the matrix without
assistance. Log your assignments here so others can see what is not yet
being tested. Then later, log your test results here.
