Help test beta for automated testing on OONI Probe Android
by Maria Xynou 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi friends, We are excited to share that we have a *beta version for automated testing on OONI Probe Android*! This means that you can have *OONI Probe run all tests automatically multiple times per day* (without having to remember to run OONI Probe or do anything). If you're on Android, please help test the beta version: 1. Join the beta program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.openobservatory.ooniprobe 2. Update (through the Play Store) to *OONI Probe 3.0.0-beta.1* (Android) 3. Through the OONI Probe 3.0.0-beta.1 app, please tap *Settings* -> *Automated testing* and *enable* the "*Run tests automatically*" setting. We recommend having automated tests run when you're connected to WiFi and while your phone is charging (though you can configure this in the "Automated testing" settings). Now OONI Probe will run all tests automatically every hour (if you're connected to WiFi and your phone is charging -- depending on your settings). To avoid cluttering the UI of your Test Results screen, the test results from automated testing will only be available on OONI Explorer (published automatically in real-time): https://explorer.ooni.org/ We would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have for improvements! This will help us check if everything works well before we release automated OONI Probe testing officially. You can *share your feedback with my colleague Lorenzo* ( lorenzo(a)openobservatory.org) or by opening tickets at the following repository: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues Happy to address any questions you may have. Thanks for your time and support! Best, Maria.

Hello friends, *Do you speak Arabic or Farsi?* If so, we'd appreciate your help! We're adding *RTL support to the OONI Probe Desktop app*, which would enable us to include app translations in Arabic and Farsi (among other languages that use right to left scripts). Here's a preview release of OONI Probe Desktop with support for RTL languages (where you can see what the app would look like): https://github.com/ooni/probe-desktop/releases/tag/v3.5.0-rtl.1 You can try it out on: * *Windows:* https://github.com/ooni/probe-desktop/releases/download/v3.5.0-rtl.1/OONI-P… * *macOS:* https://github.com/ooni/probe-desktop/releases/download/v3.5.0-rtl.1/OONI-P… * *Linux:* https://github.com/ooni/probe-desktop/releases/download/v3.5.0-rtl.1/OONI-P… Once you've checked out what OONI Probe Desktop would look like with RTL support, can you please let us know if you have any feedback for improvements? You can *share your feedback* either by writing to my colleague Sarath (cc'd to this email), or by opening tickets on this repository: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues Thanks so much for your time and support! Cheers, Maria.
