h2. {anchor:OpenSolaris G11n Testing Coverage}OpenSolaris G11n Testing Coverage
*Testing is focused on 2 main areas:*
* localization (l10n) testing - testing of translated content quality
* internationalization (i18n) testing - testing of i18n readiness of locales available in OpenSolaris
(e.g. input/output of special national characters, font quality, locale data - sorting, date formats ... )
*Areas of Interest:*
* Input: input methods and keyboards
* locale data and locales management utilities
* desktop and desktop application testing
* install/upgrade: GUI installation experience including new slim installer testing
* G11n conformance testing: testing without concrete instructions or testcases. Only general guidelines
and a list of applications are give.

h2. OpenSolaris Binary Distro Testing
OpenSolaris binary distro is being released approx. every half a year. First one OpenSolaris 2008.05 is out since May 2008 and the next ar planned in approximately 6 months release cycle (2008.11, 2009.06., ... Testing this distribution is the main goal for G11n test group, which is planning/executing regular test activities on this project.
* Project Indiana is working towards creating a binary distribution of an operating system built out of the OpenSolaris source code. The distribution is a point of integration for several current projects on OpenSolaris.org, including those to make the installation experience easier, to modernize the look and feel of OpenSolaris on the desktop, and to introduce a network-based package management system into OpenSolaris. The resulting distribution is a live-CD install image, and is fully permissible to be redistributed by anyone. It will also have the capability for developers to create their own, customized distribution based on Project Indiana.
