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.
...
- 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"

BATCH TESTING BUGS FIXED:http://jira.ucdavis.edu:8080/jira/browse/SAK-185 (term abbreviation and term description do not match in site information tool)
PREVIOUS PROVIDER TESTING BUGS FIXED:http://jira.ucdavis.edu:8080/jira/browse/SAK-124 (Banner rosters not in sync with SmartSite UI)197 Support and Training web link should be present, going to gateway site on sakai2

- 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 (Sakai-test 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

*NOTE: The order of the test cases will be as follows. Setup Preliminary Case (0a): Accessing server
Setup Preliminary Case (0b): Login access via DistAuth
Setup Preliminary Case (0c): Login outside of DistAuth (e.g. internal account)
Setup Preliminary Case (0d): Accessing admin functionality Case 1: User Directory Provider
1a) Web Dav authentication
1b) User directory lookup functionality Case 2: Group Provider
2a) Roles in courses verified by tabs
(1) Roles in courses verified by system log output (system admins)
2b) Realm refresh via browser refresh button (1) Realm refresh seen in system log output (system admins) Case 3: Course Management Provider
3a) Rosters from Banner viewed by instructor and administrator role in site
3b) Adds/drops of students from Banner seen in SmartSite UI
3c) Roster details accurate (e.g. kname, role, etc)
3d) Instructor changes for a course seen in participants list for a site |
