Sakai 10 QA07 Testing
Sakai 10 qa1 Testing corresponds to the first round of QA testing for Sakai 10
Sakai 10 Test Fest
Sakai 10 - QA07
QA07 testing is now active.
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.
QA07 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-26229 - Getting issue details... STATUS - link new bugs you find to this issue.

Test Plan Overview
Sakai 10-qa07 Test Plan
Summary
Main focus is to try and break Sakai. http://bit.ly/1mNk4RP
Details
On the Google doc for QA07 testing , you can sign up and do everything you can to break Sakai 10. Testing should be on one of the QA07 servers. The Google doc includes a Test scripts page, in case it will be helpful to you to use an existing Test script to do your testing (in this case the word "script" means a series of steps for you to do, not an automated software program).
Secondary focus is ongoing testing to verify fixed Jiras.
Details
Please test on the Sakai nightly trunk server. The process is that bug fixes are applied to the nightly trunk server, QA testers verify the fixes, and then the fix gets incorporated into the Sakai 10 branch (but will not show up on the QA07 server since this release is "frozen". Instead it will show up in a later Sakai 10 release, probably RC01).

Email questions to the Sakai QA list or the Sakai Coordinator (aka Neal).
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.
