Introduction:
The Autoupdate client module provides the update of module or the group of modules available
on the Autoupdate server through the Update Center Wizard. This document covers the specification
of testing features included in the Autoupdate module. These tests should
recognize issues contained in the Autoupdate module and check the module usability. If it is not
pointed up explicitly then we suppose install/update of modules set that contains at least one module
that needs IDE restart.
Take care also about builds that are installed from rpm or solaris pkg because these build don't allow 'Global' installation
but only installation to userdir. Global update of these modules is provided only by new rpm or solaris pkg.
Purpose:
Test the if the proxy configuration is working.
Setup:
Start IDE with clean userdir, run Update Center Wizard. Proxy configuration dialog appears after click on button "Proxy Configuration...".
