Test Plan

The Macintosh Test Plan is based upon two threads. Although the testing of the Macintosh ICA Client is predominantly governed by the various platforms in use, variations within the different operating systems software must also be considered carefully. Indeed, as certain versions of the OS only work with particular models, a careful study of the various routes people could have taken to arrive at their current version of the OS, as well as the various Localisation issues, must be made in order to arrive at a sensible [i.e. minimm time consumption] yet fair [i.e. cover a good range of permutations of system and platform] test strategy. Thus we will consider the system architectures designed by Apple, followed by the Operating Systems that will run upon these platforms.

Operating Systems

• System 7
  1. 7.0
  2. 7.0.1?
  3. 7.1
  4. 7.1.1 (Pro)
  5. 7.1.2 (PPC 601 minimum - NuBus 6100/7100/8100)
  6. 7.1.3 (Stable)
• System 7.5
  1. 7.5 (Shocking)
  2. 7.5.1 (Little better)
  3. 7.5.2 (603 Support)
  4. 7.5.3 (603e minimum 5400?)
  5. 7.5.5 (68000, 68020 maximum)
• System 7.6
  1. 7.6
  2. 7.6.1 (68030 maximum)
• System 8
  1. 8.0
  2. 8.0 (v2 G3 minimum?) Sydtem Enabler
  3. 8.1

Other Considerations

Major System Changes

• OT
• QT
• Desktop Printing
• GX Printing
• Network Physical Layer Ethernet/AppleTalk

Other Problems

• system picker[restoring all systems back to bootable]
• filesharing[turning off apple talk],
• changing monitor[without losing menu]
• desktop printing
• keep it clean/stable
