This is one of the most important phases in the editor development: "testing". A well done test period ensures that upgrading current installations of FCKeditor will just provide enhancements to your software, and not unexpected results.

So please, participate. As more testers we have as more tested new versions will be, and this reverts to advantage to you, FCKeditor community.

How to test?

Tests can be done online, by following the link provided at the end of the page. You can also download the installation package and test it in your local environment.

What to test?

Each version is an evolution of the previous one. So, the most important thing to check is that the new version is not introducing new bugs not present in the latest public version.

Important things to test are:

• Interface behavior: editing area, toolbar components, context menu, dialog windows, etc...
• Code generation: looking at the source view for wrong code.
• File Browser: can be launched from the Image, Link and Flash dialogs.
• All samples: be sure that every sample is working correctly. All test cases (_testcases directory) must also work well.
• The "What's New?" file is a good reference of things to be tested.
• Whenever possible, test it on real cases.

Testing on real cases

The best way to be sure FCKeditor will be ok when upgrading, is by testing it on your current applications. In this way, things that may be missing in the samples can be tested and specific problems can be detected.

Where to publish your results

For every new version, we’ll be opening our "Test Results" forum for discussions regarding the tests. Just go to that forum and leave any information you think is useful. Not only negative tests results are good in this phase, but also positive feedback, so we can measure the results.

Please just post information strictly related to testing results. I understand that all you have expectations regarding new versions, but consider each version as an evolution of the previous one. No new development will be done (even to fix know bugs on previous versions), just fixes to new issues.
