This document provides a guideline for testing and verifying the expected behaviors of the project. When a patch is ready for testing, the checklists may be copied and marked as they are proven to be working.
Tasks for a tester to verify when approving a patch.
Tasks which test the behavior of the CLI client.
- Power profiles can be queried and set
- Laptop with switchable graphics:
- Switchable graphics can be queried
- Command returns
not switchable
on a non-switchable system - Command returns

Tasks which test the behavior of the shell extension.
- Test that the power profile can be switched, and that the dots are correct
- Test that any power profile change from the CLI is reflected in the extension
- When switching to balanced, with screen brightness maxed, screen brightness drops to 50%
- When switching to battery, with screen brightness maxed, screen brightness drops to 10%
- When switching to balanced, with screen brightness minimized, screen brightness does not change
- When restarting the daemon, and the daemon defaults to a balanced profile, the brightness should not change
- When restarting the system, screen brightness should be the same as before
