Test Cases for the Keyboard Test (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Before running each test case, a dialog box prompts you to confirm that you want to continue with the test. All test cases require that you interact with the test. Follow the instructions on the screen in order to complete the tests.

After you run test cases 50, 53, and 54, the test prompts you with a question about the status of the test. If you choose Yes, the test is logged as passing. If you choose No, the test prompts you to run the test case again. If you choose No a second time, the test is logged as failing.

Test cases 51, 52, and 55 detect failure without your interaction and time out if no input is registered. If a failure is detected in these test cases, the test prompts you to run the test again. If you choose No, the test is logged as failing.

The following table shows the test cases for the Keyboard test.

Test case Description
