Unscripted Testing ISIS SANS (v2 GUI)

keeeto commented 6 years ago

You have been assigned unscripted testing. The hope is to catch as many problems with the code before release, so it would be great if you can take some time to give a serious test to your assigned area. Thank you!!

The general guide to unscripted testing:

The tests must be performed on the installer versions of the final release candidate. Not on local compiled code.
Serious errors involving loss of functionality, crashes etc. should be raised as issues with the current release as a milestone and an email sent to the project manager immediately.
Minor and cosmetic issues should be raised as issues against the forthcoming releases.
First try things that should work, then try to break Mantid, e.g. entering invalid values, unexpected characters etc.
Don't spend more than a few hours on the testing as fatigue will kick in.
If you find errors in the documentation, please correct them.
Comment against this ticket the OS environment you are testing against.
Close the this issue once you are done.

@MikeHart85 Will you have a chance to look at this in the next day or so?

MikeHart85 commented 6 years ago

@NickDraper No, I'm afraid I have my hands full at the moment.

Testing on Ubuntu 16.04

Just some very minor issues:

When a file can't be found the error message reports the row as a 0-based index (e.g. "there was a bad entry for row 1" means the second row, not the first). This would probably be less confusion for users as a 1-based index.
Tab order on the Q settings tab, beam centre page and diagnostic page is quite random
On the Sum Runs tab, if you forget to enter a name for the output file then the result gets saved as .nxs, which is a hidden file on linux, so it looks like it hasn't done anything. The old GUI gave it a default name (although didn't have an option to specify the name).

Other than that all looks good to me :+1:

@Mantid-Matthew what do you think?

Matthew-Andrew commented 6 years ago

@NickDraper I think these all look like relatively easy fixes which if it's ok with you I might try and get in for the release ?
