Manual Testing Sample Transmission calculator

[MohamedAlmaki]

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.
• Disable Usage reporting before you start testing
• Close the this issue once you are done.
• Time how long this manual test takes for you to do and leave a comment about it in this issue.

Specific Notes:

Make sure that inputs and outputs work sensibly, stress test with some bad inputs (e.g. letters in a numeric input) See https://developer.mantidproject.org/Testing/General/SampleTransmissionCalculatorTestGuide.html

In single wavelength spin boxes you can use , which is ignored but should not be able to type it

This is not a regression - seen on v6.10

Two of the sub-output plots in the Inelastic BayeFitting, under both the Quasi and Stretch tabs, appear to have incorrect labels. Specifically, two items are suffixed with '_result' rather than their actual plot names. For instance, on the Quasi tab, the first plot, 'prob,' is correctly labelled as 'datasetname_prob.' However, 'Amplitude' and 'FWHM' are labelled as 'datasetname_result,' when they should likely be 'datasetname_amplitude' and 'datasetname_FWHM,' respectively
