Manual Testing ORNL Powder Diffraction

[sf1919]

You have been assigned manual 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 manual 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.

Specific Notes:

I have tested this out for our daily routines for all of the four powder instruments and I am associated with -- POWGEN, NOMAD, HB2A, and HB2C. All routines are working as expected, and in fact, the outcome from current implementation and the previous version of the release is all consistent.

This issue thus should be closed. Thank you!
