If you see the GRUB boot menu you should see the following:
  • 'Try or Install Ubuntu'
  • 'Ubuntu (safe graphics)'
  • 'OEM install (for manufacturers)'
  • 'Test memory' (only on BIOS systems)
  • Upon reaching the desktop environment, you should be greeted with the "Choose your language" screen.
    Pick your desired language.
    You should be greeted with a panel where you are prompted to set any of your needed or desired accessibility options.
    Click through the options, (Seeing, Hearing, Typing, Pointing and clicking, Zoom) and make sure the drop down options are fully functional.
    You're greeted with the 'Try or install Ubuntu' slide. The 'Ubuntu' logo should be on the left hand side.
    Select "Install Ubuntu" to continue with the installation process, or "Try Ubuntu" to boot into a live session.
    You should be greeted with a slide asking you to confirm your keyboard layout.
    Feel free to either select your desired layout, or use the auto-detect feature at the bottom.
    Proceed by clicking "Next"
    The 'Connect to a network' screen should now be displayed
    The screen should reflect the current status and display the following options (unless you're in a VM):
  • Wired connection
  • Connect to a Wi-Fi network followed by a scrollable list of available APs, displaying an active one colored with a leading checkmark
  • Connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network
  • I don't want to connect to internet for now
  • If you ARE installing in a VM, you should check that the VM automatically has internet access. This is usually via a "wired connection".
    If you're testing a testcase that requires no internet access, make sure the install medium does not have internet access by configuring it properly in this slide.
    Click "Next"
    The 'Applications and updates' screen is displayed, listing normal and minimal installation, as well as options for installing updates, third party software and additional media formats.
    Select any options pertinent to the testcase - though "Default installation" is normally the desired option.

    The new user's desktop is presented
    Create a new folder on the desktop by right clicking on it and title it 'test', open Firefox and browse to a couple of sites
