QA checklist

This document contains a list of things which should be tested before releasing a distribution image as 'finished'.

Platform specific

• The latest version of the 'firmware' is included
• /dev/vchiq is owned by group 'video'

Basic configuration

• ifplugd is installed and properly configured
• A default user has been created
• If a desktop environment is installed, it defaults to Raspberry Pi branding
• sshd either starts at boot or is trivial to enable (and this mechanism has been tested)
• An NTP daemon is installed and configured
• eth0 isn't renamed when the same SD card is put in a different Raspberry Pi
• sudo is installed and configured
• ssh host keys have been removed and will be generated on first boot or first invocation of sshd
• apt-get clean has been run to remove cached packages

Functionality tests for desktop images

• When plugging in a USB memory stick, it is automatically mounted
• Wireless dongles with free firmware work out of the box
• The default browser works for GMail and other JavaScript-heavy sites
• /opt/vc/bin/tvservice has been verified to work
• Verify after installing gparted it can be launched from the graphical menu and that in pcmanfm 'open folder as root' works (checks PolicyKit configuration).
• Run fsck on the root partition to ensure the image generation process produced a clean filesystem
