 * The testing focus will continue during the rest of the week until Sunday March 3.
 * IRC channel.
 * mobile-l mailing list
 * discussion page.

Testing mobile uploads
The mobile team is excited to work on Photo Uploads using the Mobile Web and Uploads to Commons using Android and iOS Apps. Our goal is to make it simpler for our mobile users to use their devices to take pictures and add them to relevant articles.

This is an activity open to anybody with a mobile device (preferably Android or iOS). No technical experience required.

Check our QA weekly goals and other exploratory testing activities at Features testing. You are invited to join the MediaWiki Group Features testing to learn more and get involved.

Objective

 * To test uploading any image from the device to Commons.
 * Validate workflow allows for multiple photos to be uploaded.
 * Validate workflow allows a title and description to be created.
 * Validate workflow allows for as many categories as needed, with autocomplete, to be added.
 * Validate that users receive notification of successful, or unsuccessful photo uploads.
 * Validate that the upload is performant.

Devices of Interest

 * iOS (App and Mobile Web)
 * Android (App and Mobile Web)

How to test - Mobile Web
The upload code changes will require you to be in beta mode

For tracking purposes, include "Mobile Web Upload Test" in the description or where appropriate when testing Mobile Uploads.


 * Some general testing "charters" (ideas for things to do):
 * Upload Photos
 * Use cropped or non cropped photos.
 * Upload multiple photos.
 * Check display of long text, unusual characters, etc.
 * Workflow

Some specific areas of interest for testing:

Navigation:


 * Logging in:
 * Given I am a mobile web user, logged in or logged out in the left navigation menu I see a menu item “Uploads” which links to the existing Special:DonateImage page.
 * Given I am on the uploads page there is a button ‘Donate an image’ below the heading ‘Uploads’ that when clicked allows the user to upload a photo.
 * First upload
 * When the user successfully uploads their first image the inspiring text+image disappears and the newly uploaded image appears and a toast message congratulates them.
 * First upload text: Success! Thanks for your first contribution!


 * Multiple uploads:
 * As a photo uploader using the Mobile Web, when I tap a link in the left nav, I am taken to a list of the files I have uploaded via mobile, so that I can see my work and stay motivated about uploading quality images:
 * When a photo uploads successfully I see a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen, the newly uploaded photo slides from the top of the page above all other existing images.
 * Given I am on the uploads page I can see a list of images I have recently uploaded to Commons with the most recent at the top. The description of each image is shown below it. If an image has no description the text “No image description” is shown.
 * All subsequent uploads: Success! Your image can now be used on $projectname (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc. – whichever project the user is accessing the uploads dashboard from).


 * Errors and issues:
 * Notification is provided when errors uploading images occur.
 * Canceling a photo uploading works as expected.
