Sakai 10 QA05 Testing
Sakai 10 qa1 Testing corresponds to the first round of QA testing for Sakai 10
Sakai 10 Test Fest
Sakai 10 - QA05
QA05 testing is now active. We are targeting one or two QA releases away from our first release candidate. We are releasing a QA about every 2 weeks.
The job of QA testers is to break Sakai. We want to find as many bugs as possible so that they can get fixed before a community release.
QA05 server - Longsight QA server and Indiana QA Server
- Nightly trunk server - for verifying Jiras so that they can be merged into the Sakai 10 branch. Please note: the nightly server is refreshed every 4 hours starting at midnight Eastern daylight time, and all data will be lost. Please time your testing accordingly.
- How to use Google docs for testing (generally)
- How to do deep regression testing (as opposed to do-it-yourself, check list or JIRA testing, which may be more self explanatory)
- Test Fest Google doc - Start testing
- SAK-25936 - Getting issue details... STATUS - add new bugs you find to this issue.

Test Plan Overview
Sakai 10-qa05 Test Plan
Summary
- Verify fixed Jiras so they can be merged into the Sakai 10 branch!
- Try and break Sakai! Make sure you report back your efforts to the Sakai coordinator, and open Jiras to reflect any bugs you think you may have found.
- Consult with the Sakai coordinator about priorities - sakaicoordinator@apereo.org (aka Neal).
Adopt-a-tool
Adopt-a-tool - If you have limited time to test, or if a particular tool is of high value to your institution, you might consider our Adopt-a-tool approach. Adopt a tool and test it on the QA server as thoroughly as you can. If the tool works with other tools, I recommend you also test those integrations (esp. the gradebook integrations).
If you find a bug
If you find a bug in Sakai 10, please test to see if the issue exists on 2.9.x on server - Sakai nightly 2.9.x . This will help determine if it is a regression.
