Communication

Join the Sakai QA list (sakai-qa@apereo.org) to keep up to date on all things QA in Sakai. Anyone can join the group here: Sakai-qa

Sakai QA Slack Channel

We have a very active Sakai QA channel in Apereo’s Slack instance. We use Slack to communicate during Test Fests, asking QA questions, and communicating with other QA testers. 

Please contact sakaicoordinator@apereo.org to be added to Slack.

For a quick overview of Slack (along with some helpful tips n’ tricks), see the following video: Slack basics

Servers and Jira

The nightly server page contains links to the current nightly Sakai servers.

All bugs are reported in Jira and you will need an account to create or verify any Jiras. If you do not have an account, contact sakaicoordinator@apereo.org to have one created for you.

25 QA Testing

All testing for 25 using the test scripts is to be completed on https://qa25-maria.nightly.sakaiproject.org/ or https://qa25-mysql8.nightly.sakaiproject.org/.

It would be good to test on one branch one week, and the other branch the next week, and keep alternating each week so both branches receive lots of coverage.

Getting Started with QA

If you’re new to Sakai, check out the https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U6iWs-fkiqizy43RoGVK2KDQ8_BiPi2LNvYJgfB2Eqk/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ct0l58xmq7rg document.

Sign up to take the candidate test and be considered for a slot as a QA tester by sending an email to sakai-qa@apereo.org

Jira Verification

As issues are resolved, the Jiras first need to be resolved on trunk (master). Once they are verified as fixed, the Jiras will be merged to 25. At that point, the Jiras will need to be verified on the 25 branch.

There are several instances of trunk and when verifying Jiras, you may also want to alternate where you test:
