 You have to make sure that the ''DISPLAY'' variable is correctly [[other:win10wsl#configuration_in_your_local_linux_account|defined in the terminals used in WSL]]
 ===== Testing =====
+==== Testing plan ====
 The idea is to:
   * Open a terminal and check that the ''DISPLAY'' environment variable is correctly defined on the local machine
+    * If we use [[other:win10wsl|WSL]], we also check that we can start an application using graphics in ''WSL''
   * Connect to the remote machine
   * Check that a (new) ''DISPLAY'' variable is automatically defined on the remote machine
-  * Check that you can start an application using graphics (e.g. ''xterm'') on the remote machine
+  * Check that we can start an application using graphics on the remote machine
+Test application:
+  * We need a simple graphical application that is likely to be already installed on the remote machine
+    * The **test is declared successful** if we get a new window and we can interact with it.\\ Note: some applications may start with their window iconified, and you may have to check the part of your screen where the iconified windows go...
+    * Do not forget to **cleanly quit the test application** when you have checked that it seems to work
+    * It's enough to test one application
+  * ''xterm &'': the **recommended test application**. It will open a new terminal on the remote machine
+  * ''xeyes &'', ''xclock &'', ''gvim &'', ''gedit &'', ''eog &'', ''evince &'', ... : other //standard// applications, that may be installed (or not)
