This is expected, because of the vast number of additional applications installed. General performance will also be sluggish. Please note that booting and logon will be very slow. If you want to test something where you know roaming profiles have caused a problem in the past, contact Lisa Nelson for a test undergraduate account.
If your testing reveals problems with your applications, you will want time to test them again after we think we have fixed them. Don't leave it until the end of the testing period.Testing anywhere else would be meaningless. Only DLC1 is configured with next academic year's configuration. Don't go to the centre where you normally use your applications.As early as possible during the testing period, go to DLC1 (room 2.19a in Donnan Laboratory, building 213 on the campus map directions below) to do your testing. Someone else may already have reported a problem with one of the applications you are interested in. There are also separate application lists for test stations set up in other centres see Architecture, Computer Science, EEE, Environmental Sciences, Leahurst, Physics, Music (Mac), Architecture (Mac).Īlso check the list of reported issues. If your applications are installed only on limited stations, make a note of this, so that you will know which stations to use. You will learn important things like whether your application is ready for testing (some aren't), and also where it's installed (not all applications are installed everywhere). Look for each of your applications in the list of preinstalled applications below. This testing period is a chance to discover any problems early, so that there is time to resolve them before the start of the academic year. That's why, each summer, we set up a test Teaching Centre with next academic year's proposed configuration and ask you to go there and test the applications you use. Applications, and Windows itself, interact in unexpected ways. Teaching Centre computers are very different from staff computers also, even if your application is the same version as it was last year, many other things will have changed.
It's frequently assumed that if an application works on one's own computer, or if it worked in Teaching Centres last year, that it will continue to work this year. It unfortunately seems to be common for lecturers never to test their applications before trying to use them in class.
