TEST PLAN OVERVIEW

Scope of testing

JIRA references

UCD Jira keys: SAK-135 (SAK-153 SAK-181 SAK-156)
Sakai Foundation Jira keys: REQ-2, REQ-76, SAK-5444

Purpose for this testing

Test final grade downloading to (aka, direct submission to) the final grading tool.

This test plan covers the opration of downloading course final grades from Gradebook to the UDC Final Grading Tool using the configuration planned for Smartsite production.
This test does not cover full testing of confurable aspects of the underlying coded changes to gradebook. More comprehensive testing will be in a forthcoming test plan.

Additional Items slated for testing

TEST ENVIRONMENT

  • Hardware Setup

    Server Type

    Location

    database

    saunders

    sakai

    littlejohn.ucdavis.edu

    MyUCDavis

    ips.ucdavis.edu
  1. Note: The application does not need to be stopped for these tests to occur
  • Software Setup
    Sites must have enrollments for the grade submission to be enabled.
  • Additional Setup Needed
    Tested knames that must be su'd in MyUCDavis should be su'd before the test begins for grade submission.
  • External-Banner Test Data to be Used As Representative Course Scenarios (see each test case)

DEPENDENCIES

Courses with merged CRN's will cause data to be added to the grade files that the Final Grading Tool will find to have inconsistent CRN information: submitted files will reach the UCD Final Grade Submission tool, but will contain errors.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Courses that were used to pilot gradebook during Summer session of 2006 should have 'real' grade numbers for assignements and so bogus test data may not be neceessary:

FNP/PA

FAP 300A SU06
FAP 331A SU06

Testers will need to SU on MyUCD and on Smartsite when not Instructors of Record for the courses used for the test.

None

Recording Results

The test results will be recorded in the above summary tables by integration testers, and a summary of this data will be ready for QA and the Sakai Development team to review.

Feedback Mechanism

The above results will be analyzed by the SmartSite programming team, and management to determine the steps needed and whether or not to hand off to QA. Results of this test should be discussed as near to the Monday meetings as possible.
