On System Settings... -> Displays select “Mirror displays” on

verify the screens adjusted to mirrored mode

Test 1.5

assumes expected outcome of Test 1.4 postcondition

Reconnect the monitor

verify that the screens return to mirror mode layout

Scenario 2 : clean boot 2nd display already connected

Preparations

Ensure preconditions

System Settings... -> Displays is in its default configuration, e.g. “Mirror displays” is off

Test 2.1

boot to multimonitor already connected

open window to drag

verify that desktop comes up in extended mode

Test 2.2

assumes expected outcome of Test 2.1 post condition

open System Settings... -> Displays select “Mirror displays” on

verify system reconfigures to mirrored screens

reboot

verify that system reboots into mirrored screens

Test 2.3

assumes expected Test 2.2 post condition

open System Settings... -> Displays select “Mirror displays” off

verify that the system reconfigures to extended desktop

reboot

verify that the system reboots into extended desktop

Scenario 3 : turning off “built-in display”

Preparations

Ensure preconditions

System Settings... -> Displays is in its default configuration

2nd monitor is already connected and on prior to boot

Test 3.1

boot to multimonitor already connected

open System Settings... -> Displays toggle on/off button for “built-in display” to OFF

verify the second display remains active as a single screen/desktop

Test 3.2

assumes expected outcome of Test 3.1 post condition

Open some windows (e.g. terminal)

disconnect display

verify the desktop returns to the “built-in display”

Test 3.3

assumes expected outcome of Test 3.2 post condition

reconnect the display

verify that the desktop now appears on the second display and the “built-in display” is dark

Test 3.4

assumes expected Test 3.3 postcondition

reboot with the second display connected

after login, verify that the desktop appears on the second display & the “built-in display” remains dark

Test 3.5

assumes expected Test 3.4 postcondition

open System Settings... -> Displays toggle on/off button for “built-in display” to ON

verify that the desktop appears extended on both the second display & the “built-in display”

Scenario 4 : resolution change for “built-in display” & second display

Preparations

Ensure preconditions

System Settings... -> Displays is in its default configuration

Test 4.1

boot to multimonitor (or if booted to single screen, connect 2nd monitor)

open System Settings... -> Displays, note the current resolution (referred to as res1)

change resolution down for “built in display”, note it, refer to as res2

open some windows (e.g. terminal & file browser), have windows on each screen open

disconnect switched on monitor

verify “built in monitor” returned to original resolution, res1

Test 4.2

assumes expected outcome of Test 4.1 post condition

Reconnect the monitor

verify the “built-in display” adjusts resolution back to res2

Test 4.3

assumes expected Test 4.2 post condition

Disconnect monitor, change resolution of “built in monitor” down (preferably to a 3rd resolution setting not yet used), refer to as res3

Reconnect the monitor

verify that the “built in monitor” returned to resolution setting selected in res 2

Disconnect the monitor

verify that the “built in monitor” returned to res3

Test 4.4

Assumes expected outcome of Test 4.3 postcondition

Reconnect monitor

through System Settings... -> Displays, select the second monitor & change resolution down, note it, refer to as res4

disconnect monitor, let it settle

reconnect monitor

verify the screens adjusted to res 2 for “built-in” & res 4 for second monitor

Scenario 5 : retation changes for display orientations

Preparations

Ensure preconditions

System Settings... -> Displays is in its default configuration

Test 5.1

boot to multimonitor (or if booted to single screen, connect 2nd monitor)

the system should be in extended desktop mode

open System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for the “built-in display” to be clockwise

verify “built in monitor” turned 90 degrees clockwise

Test 5.2

assumes expected outcome of Test 5.1 post condition

open System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for the “built-in display” to be normal

verify the “built-in display” adjusts resolution back to normal

Test 5.3

assumes expected Test 5.2 post condition

open System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for the “built-in display” to be 180 degrees

verify that the “built in monitor” rotated 180 degrees

Test 5.4

assumes expected outcome of Test 5.3 postcondition

return the orientation of the primary screen to normal, via System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for the “built-in display” to be normal

set mirror mode, via System Settings... -> Displays select tick box on “Mirror displays”

then rotate, System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for the “built-in display” to be 180 degrees

verify the both “built-in display” and 2nd display rotate 180

Test 5.5

assumes expected Test 5.4 postcondition

return rotation to normal, open System Settings... -> Displays, change the “Rotation” for mirrored displays to normal

unmirror, System Settings... -> Displays, unselect tick box for “Mirror displays”

select the 2nd monitor in the System Settings... -> Displays and change the Rotation clockwise

verify that the “built in monitor” did not rotate, and the second display rotates 90 degrees

Scenario 6 : relative display position

Preparations

Ensure preconditions

System Settings... -> Displays is in its default configuration

Test 6.1

boot to multimonitor (or if booted to single screen, connect 2nd monitor)

open System Settings... -> Displays to see the reflected virtual relationship of the “built-in display” to the second display

verify with the mouse by exiting the relative side of “built-in display” the mouse appears/enters the second display as reflected in the Displays dialog box

Test 6.2

assumes expected Test 6.1 post condition

in System Settings... -> Displays, select & grab the secondary display to move its relative position to the “built-in” display (effectively swap their position left-right of each other)

verify with the mouse by exiting the relative side of “built-in display” the mouse appears/enters the second display as reflected in the Displays dialog box
