Set up Smartsite footer links and text content for v2.3 upgrade

SAK-377 and SAK-396

Note: SAK-396 repeats step 9 of this test.

Validate that the SmartSite footer links and text appear and function as specified:

  1. The first row of links at the bottom of the page in the gold bar are: "SmartSite", "Support & Training", "Information & Educational Technology (IET)", "University of California, Davis", and "Sakai Copyright."
  2. Selecting the SmartSite link loads the SmartSite site in the browser window. Validate by selecting My Workspace, a course or a project site and then select the SmartSite link in the footer.
  3. Selecting the Support & Training link opens a new window with the SmartSite site on the Support & Training link. Validate by checking that the SmartSite tab is selected in the top navigation, that Support & Training is bolded in the left-hand navigation, and that the Support & Training content are all displayed in the new window.
  4. Selecting the Information & Educational Technology link opens a new window with the url http://iet.ucdavis.edu/
  5. Selecting the University of California, Davis link opens a new window with the url http://www.ucdavis.edu
  6. Selecting the Sakai Copyright link opens a new window.
    Modify the URL in the new window to read "smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu" instead of "smartsite.ucdavis.edu"
    Verify the following text appears:
    • "Copyright 2003-2006 The Sakai Foundation."
    • "All rights reserved."
    • "Portions of Sakai are copyrighted by other parties as described in the Acknowledgments screen."
  7. Selecting the Acknowledgments screen link on the Sakai Copyright page loads a new page.
    Modify the URL in the new window to read "smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu" instead of "sakai2.ucdavis.edu"
    Compare the contents in this screen to the open window.
  8. Close the Achknowledgements window and return to Smartsite-test. The second row of text on the Smartsite footer should display "Copyright 2003-2006 The Sakai Foundation. All rights reserved. Portions of Sakai are copyrighted by other parties as described in the Acknowledgments screen."
  9. The third row of text on the Smartsite footer should display text similar to this:
    • SmartSite@UCDavis - [sakai_2-3-x-test-007] - Sakai 2.3.x - Server "hanley-dev"
    • the server name may be different
    • the last three digits of the version number in [sakai_2-3-x-test-007] may be different

Add a link to the logo image

SAK-329

  1. Log in to SmartSite and select one of your course or project sites.
  2. Select anywhere in the active link area of the SmartSite logo in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
  3. Verify that you are now at the SmartSite home site as shown in 1.SmartSite logo link.jpg.
  4. Selecting the Smarsite link will update your browser to point to the SmartSite site in production, so you will need to use the Back button in your browser to return to the test server.
  5. Select a course or project link in your left-hand menu and then repeat steps 2-4.
  6. Select a course or project link in your left-hand menu which you have content in and then navigate a couple of levels in as though doing a task. Repeat steps 2-4.

SiteInfo mailid modifications

SAK-325

This test series is designed to address multiple issues encountered in 2.1.x with manually adding users to a course via the Site Info. Original SAK-299 dealt with preventing instructors from adding invalid users to their sites, i.e., users who do not have a valid Kerberos account and therefore cannot access SmartSite. Original SAK-342 was a bug fix when selecting 'Assign each participant a role individually' when adding a valid user via Site Info.

This test requires that you enter both valid and invalid UCDavis mailIDs, email addresses, and Kerberos IDs. A mailid is just the username portion ot a UC Davis mail account without '@ucdavis.edu'. For some users, the mailID and Kerberos are the same; for others, the two are different. Invalid data would be any email account outside of the UCDavis sphere, for example, your gmail account which is invalid for UCD authentication. To come up with invalid mailIDs and Kerberos IDs, you may need to use your imagination!
To come up with valid user data for testing, you can find user accounts at http://www.ucdavis.edu/cgi-bin/whois. Try entering a common last name to find accounts where the mailID and Kerberos ID differ.

First run-through: all valid users assigned the same role

  1. Log in to a course site as an instructor.
  2. Select Site Info from the course menu and then select 'Add Participants' from the Site Info tool menu.
  3. On the 'Add Participants to...' screen under the 'Username(s)' textbox, enter one or more valid UC Davis mail ids, email addresses, or kerberos ids.
  4. Select the radio button below that says 'Assign all participants to the same role'.
  5. Press the 'Continue' button and verify that the screen 'Choose a Role for Participants' is loaded and the default Roles of Instructor, Student, and Teaching Assistant are listed as options and the user's Kerberos IDs for the users you entered are listed under Participants.
  6. Do not select any roles and press the 'Contine' button. Verify that you receive a acreen alert and are not allowed to continue.
  7. Select a role and press the 'Continue' button. Verify that the screen 'Add participant(s)...' is loaded giving you the option to send or not send an email notification.
  8. Make a notification selection (only select notify if you're using other tester accounts!) and then select 'Continue'. Verify that the screen 'Confirming Add Participant(s) to...' is loaded and that you see each of the valid users listed with their full name, kerberos id, and the same role.
  9. Press the 'Finish' button. Verify that the users you added are now listed in the site roster with the role that you selected for them.

Second run-through: all valid users assigned different roles

  1. Repeat steps 2-3 from the first test and then select the radio button below that says 'Assign each participant a role individually'.
  2. Press the 'Continue' button and verify that the screen 'Choose a Role for Participants' is loaded and that the default Roles of Instructor, Student, and Teaching Assistant are displayed with text descriptions. Verify that each user's Kerberos ID is listed and has a drop-box under Roles.
  3. Leave one or more of the drop boxes with a role unselected and press the 'Continue' button. Verify that you receive an alert and are not allowed to continue, and that the roles you did select for some users are unchanged.
  4. Select a role for each user and press the 'Continue' button. Verify that the screen 'Add participant(s)...' is loaded giving you the option to send or not send an email notification.
  5. Make a notification selection (only select notify if you're using other tester accounts!) and then select 'Continue'. Verify that the screen 'Confirming Add Participant(s) to...' is loaded and that you see each of the valid users listed with their full name, kerberos id, and different roles.
  6. Press the 'Finish' button. Verify that the users you added are now listed in the site roster with the role that you selected for them.

Third run-through: some invalid users

  1. Repeat steps 2-3 from the first test, but include some invalid mailIDs, email addresses, or KerberosIDs along with at least one valid user datum. Verify that you receive an alert message and are not allowed to continue until you remove all invalid user data. Once the invalid data is removed and you can press the 'Continue' button successfully, you can stop this run-through.

Fourth run-through: all invalid users

  1. Repeat steps 2-3 from the first test, but include only invalid mailIDs, email addresses, or KerberosIDs. Verify that you receive an alert message and are not allowed to continue until you remove the invalid user data. Verify that you receive a different alert when trying to press the 'Continue' button with no users listed.

Fifth run-through: duplicate users

  1. Repeat steps 2-3 from the first test, but this time include one or more users with duplicate user data. For example, enter both a valid mailIDs, email addresses, and/or KerberosIDs for a single user. Select user data where the mailID and Kerberos ID's are either the same or are different.
  2. Press the 'Continue' button and verify that the screen 'Choose a Role for Participants' is loaded and that you receive an alert which lists the Kerberos ID for each duplicate user data entered. Verify that the user data you entered are limited to just the user's Kerberos IDs. You can now stop this run-through.

Final run-through: test Back and Cancel functions

  1. Repeat the first test, but use the Back or Cancel button throughout the process to verify that neither function is impaired.

Post your test results indicating either a pass or a fail with details to: SAK-325

Feedback for multiple choice questions

SAK-370

Verify that the patch feedback for multiple choice questions is applied and working correctly. You will need to use a sakai student account to take the assessment.

    • Feedback Authoring set to Selection-Level (A,B,C...) Feedback
    • Feedback Delivery set to Immediate Feedback
    • Feedback Components Students Can See set to default of all boxes checked
