TEST PLAN DATE
Testing date: Scheduled 9/14/06, early morning
TEST PLAN OVERVIEW
Scope of testing
This testing is designed to guide Quality Assurance in the functionality testing of the batch creation mechanism of course sites in SmartSite. The functionality of the batching mechanism, which can be run at any time by an application administrator, is detailed by the given test cases in this plan. Additionally, the level of involvement by QA, system administrators, and programmers will be detailed for each test case.
Purpose for this testing
The automatic course creation mechanism for SmartSite. Course sites, when done automatically via chron jobs, can be created and/or updated in several ways
- On-Demand List of courses (White list)
- Will create only a pre-defined list of course sites
- Not specific to a Term
- Excluded List of courses (Black list)
- Will not be created by any mechanism
- Auto-update of existing course sites with group update (e.g. provider id)
- Sets existing sites with the assigned provider id value, and will not provision a duplicate site with same provider id from full other batch run
Additional Items Related to provider id testing
- Manually update provider Id for a site
- Need to be done as a an admin user, or one that has access to admin realm
- See the results of the realms being refreshed
KNOWN ISSUES / PREVIOUS BUGS FIXED
- There are some known issue for this testing, they are:
- Related to the Home Page web content displayed for course sites. Currently, the Course Description information displays course title, which will be changed to description when the external data is mapped to a description field.
- There were two bugs found during unit/integration testing that are presumed fixed.
- The term information on the site tool didn't match the tab abbreviation for the term
- When a user, especially an instructor, logged in (e.g. SU Tool) there is a limit of associations the instructor can have to courses. This limit is 1000, and since has been filtered down to pull back only terms that are <= year 2005.
(These JIRAs (SAK-184, SAK-185) are listed below in the summary of JIRAs covered in this test plan.)

TEST ENVIRONMENT
- Hardware Setup
Server Type
Location
database
bricker.ucdavis.edu with banner-test (external db), and sakai test (internal db)
application
isaac.ucdavis.edu, sakai-test
web server
url,
http://sakai-test.ucdavis.edupopulation of data referenced
2006 Banner Test data (external), and clean sakai internal database with exception of necessary login accounts and manual sites created)
- Note: The application does not need to be stopped for these tests to occur
- Software Setup
run test under https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucdsakai/branches/sakai-core-2.1.x branch, with mods from https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucdakai/sakai-core-2.1.x-scottsdev branch incorporated
- Additional Setup Needed
**Batch admin account (e.g. ssbatchadmin)
**QA admin account (e.g. QAadmin)
**All login accounts that use kerberos names can be "provided" by the system (e.g. UserDirectoryProvider implemented).
**SU tool and Quartz tools are available in admin workspace/realm
**Pat Kava will be given access to admin realm
**Testers have access to testable sites (via SU tool, admin workspace)
- External-Banner Test Data to be Used As Representative Course Scenarios (see each test case)
A copy of test data that may be used for these test cases is attached: http://confluence.ucdavis.edu:8080/confluence/download/attachments/17096/200603TestData.xls
- A few test course sites need to be created in advance so that the batch job can modify these sites with a respective provider Id. These sites are documented in the Provider Id Test Section.
DEPENDENCIES
- At least UserDirectoryProvider enabled to allow user accounts to be looked up automatically via kerberos name (Note:all Providers will be enabled)
- Distributed authentication using AFS (SAK-143)
- Sakai-test database will be a copy of existing production data, so sakai-test will have to be backed up prior to testing
- We will be referencing sakai-test external for populating course data
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Testers (QA,students etc)*
- Admins and SmartSite Programmers
- Any of the following persons that may be available:
***Application admins (Programmers available, including Thomas, Lisa W., James, Brian, Jon G., Scott)
***Database/system admins (Geeta, Chris Callahan)
- Any of the following persons that may be available:
*All of the above users will have access to the admin realm in Sakai, in addition to:
***ssbatchadmin
***QAadmin

TEST PLAN PROCESS
This Course QA Test Plan will be coordinated by Pat Kava, with assistance from the programming group (e.g. Scott Amerson), and will document the results of QA testing. It is assumed that all bugs have been documented by the programming group as issues before handing off to QA.
Steps involved in the test process will be varied depending on the given test performed (as described below in the Test Cases section).
*NOTE: The order of the test cases will be as follows.
Case 1: White List Testing,
Case 2 (a -and b-): Black List Testing,
Case 3 (a and b) Provider Id Testing
- Site Functionality Testing (Case 4), Course Management Testing (Case 5), and Provider Id (Case 3a) testing are each part of the White List testing scenario.
- In order to test the Black List functionality, we will need to have a superset of CRNs that are trying to be added at the same time. To accomplish this, we will use the White List scenario with a same CRN that is included in the Black List file. See Black List Test Scenario for more information.

Black List Testing
Description = Test the capability of the system to not add course sites that are listed in a file. Courses in this list will never be batch created.
Category of Testing = unit, integration, functionality,regression
Prerequisite Steps
- Scott will add a list of CRNs (valid or not) to the white-list.txt file in /var/sakai/ucd-data folder on the server, in the form of TERMYR-TERMCD-CRN for each entry. This list will be different than that used for the White List Test Scenario. Use this white list
