Manual GUI test

Repeat tests on all platforms.

Only importing samples from Python examples is worth repeating for different Python versions.

All steps are given in order of execution.

Backward compatibility

  • open projects from Tests/GUIprojects
  • for each project check that all parameters are loaded and represented properly
  • check that jobs are loaded
  • rerun all jobs and ensure that the new simulation results look as expected
  • repeat simulations for each instrument choosing it from the list in “Simulation” view
  • close GUI

Importing samples from Python

  • install Python package
  • open GUI application
  • open new project
  • go to “Sample” view and load one example from specular and one from scatter2d

Pure simulation

  • switch to “Instrument” view
  • create instances of “GISAS”, “Offspecular”, “Specular” and “Depthprobe” instruments with default parameters
  • switch to “Simulation” view
  • create simulations:
    • with “scatter2d” example for “GISAS” and “Offspecular”
    • with “specular” example for “Specular” and “Depthprobe”
  • switch to “Instrument” view
  • add distributions:
    • lambda, alpha and phi to GISAS instrument
    • lambda, alpha to Specular instrument
  • switch to “Simulation” view
  • turn on simulation options “Average layer material for Fresnel calculations” and “Include specular peak”
  • repeat simulations with distributions
  • export simulations as script and run them in Python as is

Data loading

  • switch to “Data” view
  • load 1D data from ba-intern, units: 1/A
    • data should be loadable with default loader settings
    • look at the plot axes, labels, units, values should be correct
    • link 1D data to the “Specular” instrument, click “Yes, please modify instrument” if asked
    • switch to “Specular” instrument in “Instrument” view
    • check that scan points are picked from the loaded data and non-editable
    • open “Properties” panel and check that axis units are switchable after linking
  • load 2D (REFSANS filter) data from ba-intern
    • switch to “Mask Editor” presentation and add a mask
    • link 2D data to the “GISAS” instrument, click “Yes, please modify instrument” if asked
    • open “Properties” panel and check that axis units are switchable after linking

Simulation with data

  • specular simulation:
    • switch to “Simulation” view
    • choose specular instrument with corresponding sample and 1D data
    • simulate
    • check that both curves are given at the same argument points
  • GISAS simulation:
    • switch to “Simulation” view
    • choose GISAS instrument with corresponding sample and 2D data
    • simulate
    • check that all color maps have the same range and scale
    • check that mask is present in both simulation and loaded data

Save and load

  • save the project
  • close GUI
  • open GUI
  • open the project
  • check that everything is loaded correctly
