Revision as of 00:17, 19 August 2010

This page describes how to test each application installed on the Live GIS Disc. Application test steps describe how an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application can try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly within 5 minutes. Test Results document when the application was last verified to be working.

This page is maintained at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing and copied onto each release of the LiveDVD.

Please try to move the app list into more of an alphabetical order ...

Template

Tests written for: .package. [version], osgeo-live [version]
Test Description last updated: .date.

Steps

Ideally, steps will mimic the Quick Start documentation, so both can be tested at once. Otherwise, use following:

.action.

Verify that ...

Eg: From menu, select GeoSpatial->Application->Start

Eg: Verify that a browser opens at url: http://localhost:... and shows the application start page.

Update the wiki with test results (after these test steps)

Results from .date.

Run by: FirstName LastName

System: VMWare Player, 2Gig RAM, on ubuntu 9.0 base

Version: distribution version: eg: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: {{Pass}}, Pass with {{Issues}}, {{Fail}} (use curly-bracket template)

Add more test results below, most recent results at the top

Boot and Installer

Steps

Ideally, steps will reference Quick Start documentation, otherwise use following:

. Straight up Live DVD Disk
. Installer (into a VM if that is easier to clean up after)
. Testing is performed offline

Verify that ...

. You arrive at the desktop
. Help opens
. Firefox opens up

Update the wiki with test results (after these test steps)

Results from August 6th

Run by: Jody Garnett

System: Thinkpad T43, 2 GB, on live dvd

System: Macbook Pro, 4 GB, on live dvd

System: VirtualBox, 1 GB, 30GB HD image, on windows 7

Version: distribution version: eg: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: Pass with issues

Bootloader

. shows version 3.0
. think pad boots fine
. mac needed to hit ENTER to get to the initial boot loading screen

Installer

. tried with vitural box vm
. install says "Arramagong live"
. obviously installing will allow you to enter a user name; will this break applications expecting "user" ?
. my install failed; not enough space on the device. Need instructions indicating how much space is needed

Desktop

. think pad displays fine
. macbook pro - test OSGeo LIVE DVD Barcelona is cut off (and this one has higher resolution than many laptops)
. virtual box - could not adjust the screen resolution beyond the initial 800x600, instructions for open-vm-tools were fine, oh wait it wants a reboot - of a live dvd?
. never did get virtual box to have a different screen resolution even after adding the open-vm-tools

Suggestions from IRC:

. change background to not have text
. text at bottom of desktop being cut off is probably a function of screen aspect ratio
. indicate that "user" is the password in a box or make it more visible (good idea jasonbirch)

atlasstyler

Run Quickstart

Quickstart:

http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/quickstart/atlasstyler_quickstart.html

Results from August 6th, 2010

Run by: Jody Garnett

System: Thinkpad T43, 2Gig RAM, on live dvd

Version: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: Atlas styler fail

Application is in "Education > Atlasstyler" (Not Science > Atlas Styler)
Quickstart is not specific enough; it is more a link to other docs
Application "window" is messed up; the window tilebar is folded up under the desktop bar; you can resise the window; but not move it.
Tried with natural_earth countries, a warning was provided that it would use the default style, progress bar is taking a long time
Oh wait the tutorials link to their website (I am offline); but the styling layers with SLD tutorials in french and english are actually included on the disk (verified both links work)
The application never came back to me; and the window issue result in a fail
darn I was looking forward to this one
figured out a workaround; clicking on task bar and asking the application to maximiz finally lets me get at the window tilebar
Whew was able to use "ps -ef | grep java" and "kill" to shut it down

geopublisher

Run quickstart:

. http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/quickstart/geopublisher_quickstart.html

Go to applications->education-> and open Geopublishing documentation
- Verify that the green page from file:///usr/share/doc/geopublishing/index.html open in a browser
Scroll to the bottom and click the demo atlas.
Unzip it do your Desktop
Go to applications->education-> and start Geopublisher
Load the atlas.gpa from your Desktop/ChartDemoAtlas
- Verify that Geopublisher load the atlas. You should see a triparted GUI with a map-pool, data-pool and menu area.
Select File->Export and follow the wizard..
- export online and offline version of the atlas to a new directory Desktop/ChartAtlasExported
- When the export has finished, click the "open folder" button
- Close Geopublisher
Go into the Desktop/ChartAtlasExported/DISK folder and run start.sh
- Verify that an atlas opens
- Verify that you see a "Charts available" button at the top right
- Verify that clicking selecting the chart opens a chart window

Let that be the basic testing for Geopublisher now.

System: Thinkpad T43, 2Gig RAM, on live dvd

Version: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: GeoPublisher pass with issues

. Application > Education (not Science)
. You could just have the demo atlas link in the quickstart?
. I need a bit more advice no unzipping the demo atlas (firefox opened archive manager; but I think a picture is needed for those new to linux)
. Open Folder button did not work
. It is running and is very pretty

geoserver

Run quickstart: - http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/quickstart/geoserver_quickstart.html

Previous test definition:

Select the "Start GeoServer" icon.
Wait ~ 60 seconds for GeoServer to start.

Verify the GeoServer web page opens at http://localhost:8082/geoserver/web

In the firefox browser, click on "Layer Preview", wait ~ 30 secs

Verify you get a list of map layers

Select the 'OpenLayers' link on one of the layers (say the TOPP:States)

Verify you should see a web page with sample data in an interactive map

Results from August 6th,2010

Run by: Jody garnett

System: Thinkpad T43, 2Gig RAM, on live dvd

Version: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: Pass with issues

Quickstart document is not rendering correct; images rescale and text is pushed out of the way
Start GeoServer icon is not specific; it is in Web Services now; or in the Education menu (sigh!)
Nice progress bar as it starts up (who did that?)
Helpful having the start page link in the docs; but that new little progress bar opened the page for me
Suffers from the same "Firefox is in offline mode" error and cannot see local host (sent to email list)
No need to login if all you are doing is showing the layer preview
Warning is about the read-only file system; the live dvd provides this; so is this warning needed?
the directory needs to be /home/user/data/natural_earth (since the live dvd user name is "user" )
So adding a layer was fine; the sectino for adding the style to the layer is empty

Results from August 7th, 2010

Run by: Angelos Tzotsos

System: VirtualBox 3.2, 1Gig RAM, on OpenSUSE 11.2

Version: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: Pass

Embeded GeoWebCache WMS TMS document throws an error.
Quickstart: the path to find the data is /usr/lib/geoserver-2.0.2/data_dir/data instead of /usr/lib/geotools-2.0.2/data_dir/data

gvSIG

Go to applications->education and start gvSIG

Verify that gvSIG starts correctly

Create a new view and add some shapefiles from /usr/local/share/mapserver/demos/itasca/data

Verify that the shapefiles are correctly added to the view

Create a new view and add any of the two TIFF files from /usr/local/share/mapserver/demos/itasca/data

Verify that the raster files are correctly loaded to the view

If you have Internet access, try to add a WMS layer from the combo list (i.e. the NASA JPL server)

Verify that a WMS layer can be accessed

Open the sample project included in the LiveDVD at /usr/local/share/gisvm/app-data/gvsig/sample-project.gvp

Verify the project loads all the data and layouts configured are available.

You can also try to access any of the other data available from the LiveDVD like the PostGIS Data, or WxS services by the map servers configured

This tests are related with the correct functioning of the other software installed on the LiveDVD

Testing

If no GPS is plugged in

Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
You should see a map of downtown Barcelona, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
Set the map scale to 1:150,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass). After a moment you should see all 3 FOSS4G 2010 venues.
Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
Try clicking on the Workshop venue and mouse-wheel to zoom in on it
Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

Click on the "Find" button on the left
Set "maximum distance" to 1.0 km
Click the POI-Types drop down menu and select Food \u2192 Restaurant \u2192 Restaurant
Click the Find button in the top right
Click on the nearest restaurant, and "Select Target" in the bottom right
Make your way there and enjoy a nice meal

Downloading maps

Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see the limits of the PostGIS/Mapnik/OpenStreetMaps road database for the conference area.
Click the "Map Control" button on the left hand side, and turn off Mapnik Mode.

You should now see a continental image

Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on an island in the Med
In the top-left menu, pick Options \u2192 Map \u2192 Download
- Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
- When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
- This will be of more use in remote areas.
Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
Options -> Map -> Download
- Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:40,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
- [Download Map]
- When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:40,000 and you should see a road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

Overlay a GPX track

If you have a GPX track file lying around ...
Options -> Import -> GPX track
Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load
A red trace should appear

If a GPS is plugged in

Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet. (you may want to switch out of Mapnik Mode in the Map Control window)
See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

maptiler

you need an GeoTIFF or other raster geodata to test the functionality. So download for example this: http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/utm.tif (when you use Firefox it will automatically save the files into ~/Downloads).
start MapTiler: click on "Applications" -> "Graphics" -> "MapTiler"
in the MapTiler application select on the first page "Google Maps compatible" tiles and click "Continue"
in the second page of wizard add the tiff, it should be ~/Downloads/utm.tif and click "Continue"
continue trough all other steps in the wizard (default options are fine) and then start "Render"
when the rendering is finished you will see a link to the directory with tiles, click to open it (it opens in Firefox as a directory)
open the "googlemaps.html", you should see a black&white overlay displayed on top of Google Maps hybrid layer. You can also open "openlayers.html" to see another presentation of the results.

Verify that ...

MapTiler application starts without problems when clicked on the icon
When you press on "Render" applications starts the processing and does not report any error.

Alternative "real" geodata for testing are for example USGS maps or NOAA RNCs.

Another way to try it:

Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georerence/srs)
Go trough all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
Once the render is finished you can click in the GUI to open a folder with tiles. When you open googlemaps.html or openlayers.html then you see your geodata warped to the overlay of popular interactive web maps as Google Maps.

The map tiles are displayed directly from your disk. To publish the map to Internet just upload the folder with tiles to any webserver or Amazon S3"

Itasca demo (and mapserv 5.6.5) work fine
Problems in mapserver_description.html
- Need to remove "GMap" demo link (since GMap itself has been removed)
- Need to update Documentation link to read "MapServer 5.6 Documentation" or even better: "MapServer Documentation" (with no version number so we don't need to update it in the future)
- The main page of the MapServer 5.6 Docs that's on the DVD is from 5.6.3, and the OSM map in that page does not work: the link to the tiles point to a dead server. This is a known issue and the current version of the docs on the MapServer website (v5.6.5) have the map disabled... so it may be a good idea to grab the latest version of the 5.6 docs for the DVD.

Map didn't render to scale where I could find any roads. Probably because I'm not connected to network. Apps loaded up fine though

main documentation

Steps

Open Help by selecting he help icon (a yellow sign with a wombat)

Verify that the firefox web browser opens at file:///usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.thml

Verify that the browser opens with "Home", "Contents", "Contact and Support", "Tests", "Sponsors" tabs.

Click on the above tabs.

Verify the respective pages are opened.

Open the "Contents" tab

Verify that each project is mentioned.

Verify that the project version numbers matches version numbers here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB

Verify that when clicking on each project title, a description page is opened.

Install a link checker

sudo apt-get install linkchecker

Run the linkchecker against the installed docs:

linkchecker /usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.html 2>&1 | tee /var/log/osgeo-live/linkchecker.log

Verify there are not errors in the log file

The following project listings had issues
52 degree North Web Processing Service not present in contents
Geopublisher should be listed as version 1.5 in contents ( it's 1.4 )
Geoserver 2.0.1 should read 2.0.2
Mapbender not present in contents
Octave mapping tools not present in contents

--disabled on purpose. --HB

Open Jump 1.3 should read 1.3.1
R Geostatistics 2.10.1 should read 2.11.1
SAFA GIS not present in contents
uDIG 1.2rc1 should read 1.2rc3
Zoo Project not present in contents

The apt-get command failed because I was not connected to a network ( I'm not supposed to be connected to a network, apparently ) and also I was asked for a SUDO password which is not provided.

--sudo password now in welcome message --HB

The linkchecker could thus not be run as I was unable to acquire it

Windows Installers

Steps

From a windows computer, or Virtual Machine, insert the LiveDVD.
Go to the WindowsInstallers directory on the LiveDVD

Verify the installers are the same version number as the rest of the DVD, as listed at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB

For each WindowsInstaller, run the installer, using all defaults

Verify the application installs without errors

If sufficient time, Open up the application and run the test steps above for the application.

System: Burned full DVD and Qemu-KVM

Version: 4.0rc9

Results: Pass with issues

/usr/local/share/ symlinks for both Mac and Windows installers are broken because /cdrom is a real file and not a symlink to /media/cdrom. Otherwise they seem to be correctly in place in the root dir of the DVD. This seems to be an Ubuntu 10.04 thing, only solution is to link to /cdrom instead of /media/cdrom in the install script.

Mac Installers

Steps

From a Mac, or Virtual Machine, insert the LiveDVD.
Go to the MacInstallers directory on the LiveDVD

Verify the installers are the same version number as the rest of the DVD, as listed at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB

For each MacInstaller, run the installer, using all defaults

Qemu + KVM

Test version 4.0rc9
Tested by: H Bowman
Pass with issues
Host: Debian/Stable (Lenny) with qemu-kvm 0.12.3+dfsg-4~bpo50+2 from backports.org
Started with:

   kvm -cdrom osgeolive-4.0rc9.iso -m 1024 -cpu phenom

- All seems to be working, except for /usr/local/share/*Installers symlinks, which are broken because /cdrom is a real dir and not a symlink to /media/cdrom. See also /etc/mtab vs. /etc/fstab.

+* On the LiveDVD burn it was good though, but of course a network connection was needed which should be mentioned in the quickstart
