• Some ideas
• higher -> higher priority
• Very unfixed priorities.

---

Try with stable repository vs stable-proposed-updates repository vs testers repository vs developers repository. As per Project-APT-Repository.

---

• Start Tor Browser
  • visit some websites
  • visit onion websites
  • close Tor Browser
  • Did it properly terminate with exit code 0 or some other? Did the process terminate or is it lingering?
  • update Tor Browser (if available)
• change password
• run "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt apt full-upgrades"
• reboot
• everything still OK?
• run "sudo apt autoremove"
• test again, everything still OK?
• install newer kernel from backports as per instructions
• screen resolution, VirtualBox Screen Resolution Bug
• run whonixcheck --verbose --leak-tests --gui --cli
  • check if there is a whonixcheck CLI output, if there is a GUI window popup, if that is dismissable using OK or close button
• other activities users are doing such as
  • start thunar
  • browse some files
  • open a file in a text editor
    • type something
    • save file
    • re-open file
• edit file with root rights
• other common activities which come to your mind?
  • is the screen properly maximized?
• copy/paste text from host to vm and back
• shared folder tests
• USB auto mount test
• boot into recovery mode
• normal boot and switch to virtual console
  • switch back to graphical console
• set up serial console
• `sudo apt install debug-misc`
• lower VM RAM to 256 MB
  • does RAM Adjusted Desktop Starter avoid starting the desktop environment?
  • Can login in virtual console?
• run sudo /usr/share/hardened-kernel/build, install new kernel, reboot
• enough for now or should I come up with more?

relevant links[edit]

The tests ideally would be aware in which boot mode (normal, recovery, future others ^[archive], it would boot and which virtual terminal it would run the test in. Maybe that could be an abstraction.

Some tests are virtualizer specific. A lot tests will function in Qubes-Whonix hopefully (such as Tor Browser tests) but shared folder tests are different for VBox / KVM. Virtualization can be detected using systemd-detect-virt.
