The test cases documented <br>
<br>
a) Execute `update-manager -d -c` from a terminal (<a
href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1310/info">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1310/info</a>)<br>
b) ISO-based upgrade (<a
href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1498/info">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1498/info</a>)<br>
<br>
apply to at least 4 distinct upgrade scenarios:<br>
<br>
1. 12.04 occupies a full HDD or SSD.<br>
2. 12.04 is dual-booted with Windows.<br>
(Dual-booting and Windows should still function as before
after the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04)<br>
3. 12.04 is dual booted with another Linux distribution (E.g.
fedora).<br>
(Dual-booting and the other Linux should still function as
before after the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04)<br>
4. 12.04 is dual booted with Unix (E.g. netbsd).<br>
(Dual-booting and Unix should still function as before after
the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04)<br>
<br>
#1 is probably the most common scenario.<br>
#2 is unique because of the requirement to coexist with the
Microsoft boot-loader.<br>
#3 and #4 are different from #1 because of potential boot-loader and
grub version differences (potential conflicts).<br>
<br>
NOTE: I left out Android because the probability of someone
dual-booting Android (Linux kernel but yet another boot-loader
scenario) and Xubuntu 12.04 at the moment is not significant. Other
opinions? However, next time (16.04?) could be a different matter.<br>
<br>
#2 can be set-up by downloading a legal evaluation copy of Windows
8.1 from here:<br>
<a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/default">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/default</a><br>
Note that you will be prompted my Microsoft to login or register if
you are not already logged in. Registering is legally cost-free.
Please do not use illegal bitorrent methodologies.<br>
<br>
I'll do all 4x2=8 cases as soon as all of my "day jobs" permit, in
the above priority order (other opinions about order?). I am
downloading W-oink as I type. <br>
<br>
Someone else PLEASE do as much as possible of the same as I my
test-rig is still an Intel-abandoned Intel CedarTrail/PowerVR
motherboard (D2550MUD2). Yes, I am going to get rid of it during
1Q2014 since nothing fully makes use of the hardware including
Windows. Still kicking myself for poor research 12 months ago! (-:<br>

14.04 Trusty Tahr LTS.<br>
<br>
Up to now we have been concentrating on package and image
testing for Trusty.<br>
<br>
Now, we need to start running upgrade tests, most importantly
the LTS to LTS upgrades (from 12.04 to 14.04) and as usual, the
regular upgrades (from 13.10 to 14.04).<br>
<br>
Testcases are present for both 64 and 32 bit at <br>

As there is no specific testcase available at present for the <u>LTS
to LTS</u> upgrade - please use the comment area of the
tracker report to note which type of upgrade you tested - LTS or
non-LTS<br>
<br>
It would be infinitely better to be have upgrades tested with
real data, but at worst tests via Virtual Machines will check
the basic upgrade path.<br>
<br>
<b><u><big>NOTE: If you are testing with real data, please make
backups first!</big></u></b><br>
