Test for SAK-588

SAK-588: Oracle performance tuning and tracking: convert LONG columns to CLOB

Access Level: (blue star) Any tester can run some steps; (star) admin access required for some steps
Test Description: The smartsite-test database server was recently updated to convert long text fields to a different format. This new format enhances performance by allowing Oracle to shrink space for reclamation and to allow the fields to be searched more easily.
The update affects the following tools: Announcements, Assignments, Chat Room, Discussion Forum, Email Archive, Resources, and Schedule.

Test Steps
To test this update, you simply need to verify that each of these tools still work and are unaffected by the database change. This may require adding tools to a site where you are an instructor or logging in using one of the sakaiinst or sakaistu accounts. You may need to ask a smartsite-test admin to create a new site for you as an Instructor to test adding new tools to a course.

Test for SAK-598

SAK-598: Convert SmartSite production database to UTF-8 character encoding

Access Level: (blue star) Any tester can run this test
Test Description: The SmartSite production server is pending an upgrade to recognize UTF-8 characters; http://smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu is already upgraded. The initial test will verify that you are able to test the failure to display special characters on the production server. After the upgrade, you will verify that the production server now displays these characters correctly.

Test Steps: Test As Any User with ability to enter data online, for example, in Chat or Message Center or Tests & Quizzes

  1. Log into Smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu in one window and smartsite.ucdavis.edu in another window or tab.
  2. Select a tool in a course or project site that you have in common in both systems. The following steps will use Discussion Forum as an example
  3. Open another window or tab to the following UTF-8 Sampler website: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html
  4. Create a message (or enter data in another tool) by copying and pasting foreign language text from the sampler page. For example, copy the Greek phrase for "I can eat glass" into both browsers.
  5. Keep a list of the phrase and languages you used and continue this process until you've identified 3-5 languages which are displayed correctly on test and fail on the production server, smartsite.ucdavis.edu. Failure to interpret and display properly will be indicated by upside-down "?" or by a box character.
  6. Keep this list so that you can repeat this test after the production server is upgraded. Your repeat test will be verification that the production server upgrade is successful.

Verify Permissions/Editing Collision Fixes

Tests for SAK-7530, SAK-8234, and SAK-7413
Log in to either a course or project site as any user type to perform this test.


Problem - SAK-7530: Permission reference to term "Update" confusing for users; replace with Edit

Collab fix to make the permissions reference consistent with the wiki function links. Prior to this fix, when the user selects Info, the first line in the permissions table reads: Page Permissions by role? Create? Read? Update? Admin? Super Admin?

Test: Verify that the first line in the permissions table now reads: Page Permissions by role? Create? Read? Edit? Admin? Super Admin?


Problem - SAK-8234: default_template permissions should equal Home page permissions

No test as of 3/12/07. Communicating with wiki collab team to verify UI and functionality here. L.Wilson
3/13/07 Fix did not get patched to v2.3 yet. This will be a separate Jira in the future.


Problem - SAK-7413: Browser refresh during rWiki edit session sends user back to Home page
This change request rose out of the situation where multiple users are editing in a wiki and the individual wants to refresh the page to see changes made. This refresh is also done by selecting the View link, but this test deals specifically with browser refresh.

Steps

Action

Expected Result

1

Log in to one browser as a user in the course or project site with a wiki. Go to any page other than Home and select Edit. Make text changes, but do not save yet.

Other users see no change in the wiki page yet.

2

Log in to another browser as a different user to the same site OR have another tester log into the same site. The other user will also choose Edit to make changes, and then Save the page.

Second user's changes are saved first.

3

First user may now save changes, but will need to modify those changes to work with second user's edits.

User can now see both second user's edits and his/her own changes.

4

Second user refreshes his/her browser.

The browser updates the current page so that the second user sees all changes - and does NOT get sent back to the Home page.


Verify Sensitive Information Fix

Log in to either a course or project site as any user type to perform this test.

Steps

Action
