<title>Test Scenario: Window Layout</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>
Window Layout</h3>
Purpose: To test window layout in Eclipse.&nbsp; We will open a perspective,
test the layout features, open a second perspective, switch between perspectives,
and then create some windows.
<p>Setup:
<ol>
<li>
Install Eclipse Platform.</li>
<li>
Create a project with 3 .txt files.</li>
<li>
Delete the metadata for org.eclipse.ui.</li>
</ol>
Testing a Single Perspective:
<ol>
<li>
Start the workbench.</li>
<li>
Drag the navigator over the shortcut bar (the vertical toolbar at left).&nbsp;
Verify that a stack icon appears.&nbsp; Drop the view on the shortcut bar.
It should become a fast view.</li>
<li>
Click on the navigator fast view button to show the view.&nbsp; Click on
another view to hide it.&nbsp; You can also hide the view by clicking on
the "hide" button or the fast view button.</li>
<li>
Close the Outline view.&nbsp; Then invoke Perspective > Show View > Outline
to show it again.&nbsp; Verify that it has the same position as before.</li>
<li>
Select a text file in the navigator and open it.&nbsp; Verify that the
navigator fast view is hidden and an editor appears in the editor area.</li>
<li>
Modify the contents of the editor and verify that File > Save becomes enabled.&nbsp;
Save the file and verify that File > Save is disabled.</li>
<li>
Modify the contents of the editor again and close the editor.&nbsp; Verify
that the Save dialog appears and you can answer, yes, no, and cancel.</li>
<li>
Open 3 text files within 3 editors.&nbsp; The editors appear in a single
folder.</li>
<li>
Drag one editor out of the folder.&nbsp; Verify that the relative placement
icons are shown when you are to the top, right, bottom, or left of the
existing editor folder.&nbsp; The "no drop" icon should appear if you are
over a view.&nbsp; Drop the editor below the existing folder.</li>
<li>
Drag another editor our of the folder onto the single view.&nbsp; Verify
that the first folder is deconstructed and that a new folder is constructed.</li>
<li>
Maximize the active editor by clicking on the title area.&nbsp; Minimize
it by clicking in the area again.&nbsp; Maximize it again and then close
it.&nbsp; Verify that the perspective layout is restored.</li>
<li>
Drag a bunch of views out of the window to create detached windows.&nbsp;
Try dragging these views on top of one another to create detached folders.</li>
<li>
Invoke Perspective > Reset.&nbsp; Answer yes to the dialog and verify that
the layout of the perspective is restored to the original.</li>
<li>
Invoke Perspective > Close to close the page.</li>
</ol>
Perspective Save As:
<ol>
<li>
Open the resource perspective.</li>
<li>
Drag a view onto the left tool bar.&nbsp; Drag another out into a detached
window.</li>
<li>
In Eclipse you can customize the actions visible in a perspective.&nbsp;
Invoke Perspective > Customize and select some new views and actions.&nbsp;
Press OK and verify that the new actions appear in the menu and toolbar.</li>
<li>
Invoke Perspective > Save As and select the Resource perspective.&nbsp;
Press OK and answer yes to the verify dialog.</li>
<li>
Close the perspective.</li>
<li>
Open the Resource perspective.&nbsp; Verify that the new page has the same
layout and visible action sets as you created and saved.</li>
<li>
Close the perspective.</li>
<li>
Open up the Preferences dialog and view the Perspectives page.&nbsp; Select
the Resource one and press Reset.</li>
<li>
Open the Resource perspective.&nbsp; Verify that the new page has the default
layout.</li>
<li>
Drag a view onto the left tool bar.&nbsp; Drag another out into a detached
window.</li>
<li>
Invoke Perspective > Save As and type the name of a new perspective (ie
Bob).&nbsp; Press OK and then verify that the window title changes to reflect
the new perspective.</li>
<li>
Close all perspectives</li>
<li>
Open a new Resource perspective and a Bob perspective.&nbsp; Verify that
the first has the default layout and that the second has your custom layout.</li>
</ol>
Testing Two or More Perspectives:
<ol>
<li>
Close all Perspectives</li>
<li>
Open a Resource perspective.&nbsp; Verify that a new page appears in the
window with the Resource perspective.</li>
<li>
In the Navigator select your project and invoke Open Perspective > Java.&nbsp;
Verify that a new perspective appears with the Java Perspective and that
the input for the navigator is the project.&nbsp; Cool: Perspectives support
scoping !!</li>
<li>
In the Java perspective open one of the text files in an editor.</li>
<li>
Drag a couple of views out of the window to create detached windows.</li>
<li>
Modify the action sets.</li>
<li>
Switch back and forth between the two pages in the window by clicking in
the left hand tool bar.&nbsp; The active perspective controls the visible
action sets, views and editors in the window.&nbsp; If you switch between
two pages these attributes should change.</li>
<li>
Try Perspective > Next and Previous.</li>
<li>
Close the second perspective by invoking Perspective > Close.&nbsp; Verify
that the first perspective is activated.</li>
</ol>
Multiple Windows
<ol>
<li>
Start with one open window which has one perspective.</li>
<li>
Change the Workbench Preferences for "Open Perspective" to "Open in New
Window".&nbsp; Then open a Java perspective and verify that a new window
is created.</li>
<li>
A list of the open windows should appear in the Window menu.&nbsp; Select
these items to switch between the windows.</li>
<li>
Close one window and verify that the other is activated.</li>
<li>
Close the last window and verify that the workbench shuts down.</li>
</ol>
