Test Case Specifications for new print UI

Please find the following test cases for the different TabPages of the print dialog

General tab page

Basic test

• Open a new Writer document
• Type some text
• Go to Menu File – Print...
  • Your text will be shown in the preview
  • The default printer should be selected
    NOTE: the printer Properties button is not available on Mac OS X!!!
  • Range and Copies is set to „All pages“
  • Number of copies is set to 1
    The check box „Collate“ will be enabled as soon as the value of copies is more than one
  • The “Comments” pull down menu is set to “None (document only)”
    Besides it is disabled, due to no comments available
• Click Help button
  Related help window should appear
• Click on Properties button (Button is not available on Mac)
  Here you can adjust the printer settings that are provided by the printer driver
• Range and Copies options
  As long as no text is selected, the option “Selection” won't be visible but “All pages” and “Pages”
  If you've selected some text before, then the option “Selection” will be enabled and selected by default.
• Set Number of copies to 2
  See the collate icons changing by activating and deactivating the “Collate” check box
• Click Cancel button
  Recall and check if everything is set to default again in case it wasn't before canceling

Next level

• Create a text document with at least 3 pages
• Insert a comment into two pages
• Select some text
• Call the printer dialog
  Now all options should be available at this tab page
• The preview should show 1/1 page with the selected text
• Click to Pages in the Range area and change it to e.g. 1-2 or enter only one number
  The number of pages below the preview should change accordingly
• Click All pages in the Range area to test the Comments pull down menu.
  In this case you have three pages. Two of them have one comment each
• Select “Comments only”
  The preview shows only one page with both comments you set
• Select “Place at end of document”
  The preview shows four pages. Both comments are summarized on the last page
• Select “Place at the end of page”
  The preview shows five pages. The comments will be inserted as an additional page, immediately behind the page the comment is part of
• Set all options back to default
• Set Number of copies to two, deactivate check box Collate and Print
  The print result should be: 1-1; 2-2; 3-3
• Repeat the last step, this time with activated Collate check box
  The print result should be: 1-2-3; 1-2-3
• Check that the Collate check box is persistent
  The preview is good to save paper for the most of this tests but don't trust it implicitly and compare your printed results to it with some print options ;-)

Advanced test

• Create a text document with at least 8 pages
• Open print dialog
• Click “Pages” option and enter following: 1;3;5-7
  Preview shows 1/5 pages
• Click Print button
  As a result you should get the following pages : 1-3-5-6-7

For the next test, you should use a duplex printer

• Open print dialog
• Click “Pages” option and enter the following: 1-3
• Click the Properties button and enable Print on both sides; Flip on long edge; quit with OK
• Set the Number of copies to 2, enable the check box Collate and click Print.
  You should get 4 pages: first page for the numbers 1 & 2; second page for number 3; third page again for 1 & 2 and the fourth page for number 3

Now you are familiar enough to do additional tests by your own taste :-)
