Testing via Weekly Test App
About the app
Nimbus Weekly Test is an Android application that works alongside Nimbus, notifying the user that a weekly test is due, and recording the engineer's testing data. Nimbus Weekly Test can be downloaded from Google Play.
Test due notifications
The user will see a list of sites they have been granted visibility of in Nimbus.
The Weekly Testing test plan and schedule are defined in Nimbus by an administrator. The due date of scheduled weekly test visits shows under each site name.
When the test is due, the phone will notify the user using the phone's default notification sound. It will then continue to notify the user every minute subsequently until the notification is validated.
Tap the site name to view the site details.
Conducting tests
Once you have navigated to the relevant site, tap "Start weekly test" to begin.
Complete the pre-weekly test tasks if defined and add a comment if necessary.
The user must then test the devices defined in the weekly test schedule. When an event is detected in Nimbus, the device will automatically update to passed.
If tasks after each device test have been set, the device will show "1/X tasks", tap the device to device to expand the details and tap Complete Tasks to pass or fail the additional tasks.
If the device cannot be tested, or failed testing, the user must tap the device to expand details, and select Failed at the bottom and select a reason why the device couldn't be tested.

A Weekly Test Report is sent to users who are assigned the Weekly Test Report notification informing them whether the testing had been performed, or failed testing.
