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 :-)

Page layout

Basic view

  • Open a new Writer document
  • Type some text
  • Select Menu File – Print
  • Change to tab page “Page Layout”
    • Following default should be set:
      • Layout:
        • Control “Pages per sheet” is selected with value 1
        • Order is “left to right, then down”
        • The layout preview shows the number 1 (1 column; 1 row)
        • Check box “Draw a border around each page” is disabled
    • Control “Brochure” is disabled and is set to “Left to right script”

NOTE: If CTL support (in Tools->Options->Languages) is disabled, the drop down menu for the option brochure won't show.

    • Page sides
      • “Include” is set to All pages

Next level

Layout

Here we have a great playground in particular to print multiple pages on one page Each setting should be visible in the preview

  • Open or create a document with 20 pages including page numbers at the footer.
  • Call Print dialog
  • Change to tab page “Page Layout”

→ Print preview shows page 1/20

  • Select “4” at Pages per sheet option

->Print preview shows page 1/5 now ->Layout preview shows in left to right direction
1 2
3 4

  • Change order drop down menu to “top to bottom, then right”

->Layout preview shows in left to right direction
1 3
2 4

Do the same test with 6, 9 and 16 pages per sheet Keep a check to the page count at the left preview and make at least one hard copy print test. Use at times the option “Draw a border around each page”

Brochure Issue 108740
  • Click to option Brochure

→ Pages per sheet option is reset to 1 → Print preview shows page 1/6, the page is in landscape mode with text at the right part.

BTW. A duplex printer would be fine for this test. So you'll need 6 paper sheets for 20 pages to print. After the print, take all paper and fold them at the middle to have a small DIN A5 book. Now you can check the correct page order number by turn over the pages.

  • Select “Right to left script” at Brochure drop down menu

→ Print preview shows the text in the left part now

Note: This setting is not available, when you disable the CTL enhanced language support at Tools – Options – Language Settings – Languages

  • Page sides

This option can be combined with “Pages per sheet” or with “Brochure” option Here you can decide to print either all, the even pages, or the odd pages → The page count at the left preview will divide in half accordingly by choosing

  • “Back sides / left pages” or “Front sides / right pages”

The hard copy print test should bring the same result like the preview.

Advanced test

  • Select “Custom” at Pages per sheet option

→ The dialog will enhance with further options

Now you have nearly unlimited possibilities. As test example, set all 20 pages on one page. Play with distance and margin settings and monitor the preview Check the Orientation drop down menu

  • Automatic orientation:
    • Set Pages to 2 by 1

→ The preview should change to landscape

    • Set Pages to 2 by 2

→ The preview should change to portrait

  • Portrait orientation:
    • Set Pages to 4 by 1

→ Preview should stay in portrait mode

  • Landscape orientation:
    • Set Pages to 1 by 4

→ Preview should stay in landscape mode

Your turn Just combine all settings as you like and check:

  • that the preview shows the correct layout
  • that the print result is the same like the preview.
