Test cases for deployment and general functionality

  • Article

Here are a few suggested test cases for deployment.

  • Install on a platform where the user interface language of the operating system does not match the language of the application.

  • Make sure that language settings that were active when the application was installed are different from when the application is uninstalled. If the application implements language switching, change the language between installing and uninstalling. You can also change the UI language of the operating system between installing and uninstalling the application.

  • Choose languages that are fully localized in the system and the application.

  • On Windows, use Windows Language settings with the system language different from the user language. This helps uncover issues where different parts of the application are using inconsistent settings.

  • Verify the ability of the application to work with localized operating-system objects. Localized operating system objects include special folders, account names, and registry entries.

  • If the application implements language switching, make sure its default UI language follows the default user language from the operating system.

  • Verify that the code does not have unwanted dependencies on specific language settings.
