Summary
Release candidate testing is to check for any regressions that may have been introduced by the improvements (mostly bug fixes) that were applied for the 11.4 release.
Main testing:
- Blocker priority bug fixes that were added to the 11 branch. They may have been tested in the master branch, but we want to re-test in the 11 environment.
- Focus on regression testing for Portal, Assignments, Lessons, Samigo and Roster.
Testing Instructions
The testing instructions are on a Google sheet.
But a few important notes (which also are on the sheet). The issues you are testing have already been tested on "master", the main sakai branch. But now we are testing them after merging to the Sakai 11 environment. Please look at the "11 status" setting in Jira. The status should say "Resolved" which means the issue has been merged into the 11 branch. After you verify the issue works on the 11 branch, and search for regressions as you test, please set the "11 status" field to "Verified" so that we know it has been tested specifically on the 11 branch. Include on your JIRA comments which server you tested on, and which browser and OS.
The server to test on, for this iteration of RC01 is 11.x Maintenance Branch on MySql on http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org/. This not our norm, we usually set up a separate server for RC01 testing but not in this case. For RC02 we are likely to go back to our original way of choosing where to test, by creating an RC02 tag and putting up a server for it.
QA Tester Experience
This round of QA testing primarily is targeted at QA testers in the community who are experienced with Sakai and with the QA process. If you are new to QA testing on Sakai please send an email to sakaicoordinator@apereo.org and we will figure out something to assign you to do based on your experience level.
Target Date to Complete QA
Our to target date to complete RC01 testing is close-of-business, Wednesday, May 17.
