Version 2.3 Code Upgrade Test Plan
- Lisa Wilson
- Kirk Alexander
Overall Test Goals
The goals for testing the SmartSite v2.3 upgrade are:
- to ensure that current UCDavis modifications to the "plain vanilla" Sakai version 2.3 are merged properly and produce the desired results/functionality,
- to ensure that new features and functionality introduced in version 2.3 are functional and produce the desired results,
- to identify new issues or changes to functionality that may influence UCD's decision to upgrade and/or require notification of faculty and other users.
Testing is organized into the following areas:
#Upgrade Tests - UCD-specific Visuals
#Upgrade Tests - UCD-specific Functional Modifications
#Upgrade Tests - Sakai v2.3 Enhancements
Testing Schedule
Testing will begin after a V2.3 SmartSite is available on smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu (or another server) as specified by the team.
A testing schedule will be posted once the details are worked out.
Upgrade Tests - UCD-specific Visuals
This series of tests require visual review for validation. Conduct these tests in multiple OS/browser combinations and note any issues in the Jira specified in the first column.
Under Test Plan, a star indicates that the test is ready for use. A blue star 
indicates that any user can perform this test; a yellow star 
means the test is limited to tester's with administrative user access only.
Comparisons are specified for the following OS/browser combinations*:
- Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4 - Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.5.0.8
- Mac OS X 10.4.8, Mac OS X 10.3.9 - Safari 2.0.4, Safari 1.2, Firefox 1.5.0.8
- Additional test environment: VISTA - IE7
This represents a total of 10 OS/browser combinations to test with the addition of VISTA/IE7 to be determined.

Upgrade Tests - UCD Data Providers Testing
These tests specifically address UCD Data Providers Testing listed under SAK-313: Port course batching functionality (Course Batching, White List, Course Set Provider Id) from v2.1.x to v2.3.x or any other functionality that is dependent on the data provider process to be run before the tests can be performed.
Testing includes verification of the following implementation points:
- Course that are white listed can be created anytime regardless of enrollment
- Courses that are black listed are not automatically provisioned
- Batch provisioning generated a UCD-defined default toolset
- Return of up-to-date provider information during provisioning
Per Thomas, setup required to run and test functionality includes:
- Update of the white-list.txt file and valid Quartz tool run
- External-Banner test data defined and shared with QA tester prior to the test run
- 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
Conduct these tests in multiple OS/browser combinations and note any issues in the Jira specified in the first column. All data provider tests require admin access and are designated with a yellow star .
These tests require coordination of new course generation from white list with Thomas. First whitelist run was completed on February 7, 2007.

* On February 2, Thomas and Lisa coordinated Banner testing of SAK-337 with Libby Bullock of the Banner team.
Initial tests involved adding and removing students and instructors in Banner and then validating that the changes are seen in a timely manner in Smartsite. Due to the time coordination required, the tests did not involve QA. The results of the initial run indicated that students were added succeesfully, but student drops showed no change in smartsite-test. Instructor changes were recorded accurately. Per Thomas, the issues with students duplicates the current performance on production 2-1-x, so the test is technically not a failure but the desired behaviour is still not achieved. Thomas generated in Jira at SAK-394 and documented the issue in Confluence at SAK-394.
For test results, indicates Pass, indicates Fail, and indicates Alert. The date which indicates when the round of testing was completed and may be updated until the test passes. Alert is used if new issues are raised, if the test is faulty or for any other issue which requires review.
