[Libreoffice-qa] QA Team: Get ready to rumble with robots! (Android Viewer is here)

[Robinson Tryon]

Hi all,

As most of you have undoubtedly seen, Collabora announced the release
of the new "LibreOffice Viewer for Android". This isn't a
fully-fledged LibreOffice implementation yet, and is still in beta, so
in addition to opening a number of different documents, it's prone to
crash at times.


BASIC INFO

Google Play has the viewer here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collabora.libreoffice

Basic info about the viewer is on the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Android

Dev info is here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Android

As the tool is in beta, I suggest we all run daily builds, which you
can get from the regular dev-builds server:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Android-ARM@24-Bytemark-Hosting/current/


QA PLAN FOR ANDROID

I expect QA for this platform will be pretty similar to how we deal
with other platforms. If you're unsure about the current level of
support, take a look at the Google Play page for a basic description
of supported formats, etc.

Trying to copy version #'s from Android, or use a browser in Android
is painful, at least on my phone, so I grabbed the version/build
date/sha1 info from the build-info text file...
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Android-ARM@24-Bytemark-Hosting/2015-01-22_01.45.51/master~2015-01-22_01.45.51_build_info.txt

...and added that to my bug reports:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88667#c1


BUGS

Bugs should be filed under the new 'Android Viewer' component. Here
are links to the existing bugs in that category:
ALL: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?component=Android%20Viewer&product=LibreOffice

UNCONFIRMED: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&component=Android%20Viewer&product=LibreOffice

Our eventual goal is to triage *all* bugs within 1-2 weeks of filing,
so let's start right now with the 'Android Viewer' Component. We've
only got 1 UNCONFIRMED bug, so let's try to keep that list nice and
short!

Questions? Comments?


Best,
