  • 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"

...

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-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

...

Info

*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
2b) Realm refresh via browser refresh button

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

Note
titleWebDav User Lookup Testing, Case 1b

Description = Test the capability of the UserDirectoryProvider to provide information about an externally provided user via the SU Tool

Category of Testing = functionality,regression

Prerequisite Steps

  1. SU tool available to tester

Test Scenario 1b, User lookup functionality

  1. Log in as any user having administrative access (access to admin realm)
  2. Use a given kerberos name available via test data (e.g. instructor)
  3. Enter kerberos name, and click "View User Info"
  4. Verify user information from whois.ucdavis.edu and/or email.ucdavis.edu

Note
titleCase 2a, Group Provider Tabs test

Description = Test the capability of the GroupProvider to provide tabs for a user based on their enrollment/membership in sites

Category of Testing = functionality,regression

Prerequisite Steps

  1. Site user is a member of must be already created prior to test (via Batch? via manually?)
  2. User must be a member of the sites in order to see the tab
  3. If user is an externally provided one, then they must be in either the external database (Banner) or already in the internal SmartSite database

Test Scenario 2a, Tabs

  1. Log in as in Case 0d, but become the user and don't log out
  2. Log in instructor for a given site site (see test data attachmentin CourseManagementProvider test section)
  3. View tabs presented for sites available, and only those that you are a member of and have been created will appear
  4. Stay logged in for case 2b

-Additional step for programmers (Case 2ai), verify that data presented in tabs matches server log data-

Note
titleCase 2b, Realms refresh test

Description = Test the capability of the AuthxGroups to be updated more frequently than default OOTB

Category of Testing = functionality,regression

Prerequisite Steps

  1. Site user is a member of must be already created prior to test (via Batch)
  2. User must be a member of the sites in order to see the tab
  3. If user is an externally provided one, then they must be in either the external database (Banner) or already in the internal SmartSite database

Test Scenario 2b, Realms refreshing

  1. Staying as user from Case 2a, record the site tab that is highlighted
  2. Brian Donnelly or Scott Amerson will add a user to this given site, through the external db (by adding a user this way, the 15 minute refresh doesn't have to occur to see the end results)
  3. Scott will notify Pat Kava of what user has been added to the course externally
  4. Pat will verify that by hitting the browser refresh after 5 minutes elapsed since update, that the user added appears as a member in the site

-Additional step for programmers (Case 2bi), verify that authz refresh is happening via the log output, and at what intervals-
