TEST PLAN OVERVIEW
Scope of testing
This document is designed to guide Quality Assurance in the functionality testing of the provider mechanisms within SmartSite. The functionality of the provider mechanisms, as detailed by the given test cases in this plan, are driven by the functional requirements at :http://confluence.ucdavis.edu:8080/confluence/display/UCDSAKAI/Sakai+Providers.
...
| Tip |

| title | Purpose for this testing |
|---|
|
The purpose of this test plan is to regression test the provider functionality, which in SmartSite includes: UserDirectoryProvider - Support for WebDav authentication (via Kerberos)
- Provide user account information (e.g. first,last,email,type) from outside data source (e.g. feed from Mothra)
GroupProvider - Assign roles to users who log in to SmartSite that correspond to Sakai internal roles (e.g. Student, Instructor) when applicable. These roles need to be queried from an external data source (e.g. Banner mViews), so that authorization can be determined in real-time.
- Define the sites a user belongs to when they log into SmartSite.
CourseManagementProvider - Retrieve dynamic rosters for courses, including updates within specific time interval. Roster updates from Banner need to be displayed in the SmartSite application within a pre-determined acceptable time period as defined by the user acceptance testing group.
- Display current instructor(s) course sites and display them as members in the course with appropriate role
- Display Banner course details in the SmartSite UIDisplay site membership changes in a course site, including instructor adds/removals/updates
|
...
- Realms not refreshing frequent enough
- Rosters not accurate with Banner
- Drops not showing in SmartSite UI
- Known (not fixed) issue #1 for Resources tool (e.g. using WebDav), is that when a file is uploaded to the system, metadata is written to the database before the file is stored on the file system. This is a feature of Sakai, which was detected during some resource discussion re:AFS file storage. For this reason, a resource may "seem" to be updated correctly, and listed in the resouce tool however the content cannot be seen. An http 404 error is thrown (No page can be found). This error is NOT fixed for this testing, just a known issue for Case 1a.
- Known (not fixed) issue #2 is that whatever user that creates the sites when logged in is placed as a member in the site. Therefore, if ssbatchadmin created sites then the roster for such sites may appear off by 1.
- Known (not fixed) issue #3 is that the instructor presented in the member list is not presented first. This is a default sorting behavior within SmartSite and will not be fixed.
- Known (not fixed) issue #4 http://jira.ucdavis.edu:8080/jira/browse/SAK-202 is that the instructor presented in the member list may be still listed even if they have been "replaced"

- Note: The application does not need to be stopped for these tests to occur
...
DEPENDENCIES
- All UCDavis Providers (UserDirectoryProvider, GroupProvider, and CourseManagementProvider) will be enabled to allow user accounts to be looked up automatically via kerberos name
- Distributed authentication using AFS should be enabled (SAK-143)
- Sakai-test database will be (Sakai-dev for integration testing) database will be a either a clean copy or a copy of existing production data, so sakai-test will have to be backed up prior to testing,
Pradhu or Geeta will be contacted to schedule this. - We will be referencing sakai-test (banner test external, mViews..) for populating course data
