Get Started: Regression Testing

Regression testing is critical for ensuring that all functionality in Sakai is working as intended. We’ve updated our regression test scripts for Sakai 11 to be as clear, concise, and usable as possible. See the instructions for Testers and Test Script Authors below.

For Testers:

Testers execute regression test scripts, which test the functionality of Sakai. Testers record their observations and create JIRAs as needed. See the following video and documents for getting started with regression testing Sakai 11: 

Executing Regression Test Scripts (google doc)

Sakai 11 MASTER Test Scripts List (google sheet)

 

For a walkthrough of the JIRA creation process, see the following video overview:

For Test Script Authors:

Test Script Authors create/update Sakai regression test scripts to provide clear and consistent materials for testers. See the following video and documents for getting started with creating/updating regression test scripts for Sakai 11:

Authoring Test Scripts (google doc)

Sakai 11 MASTER Test Scripts List  (google sheet)
