Version 8.0 testing

This document lists tests that we need to do to get version 8.0 closer to a final release. It's an attempt to invite as many testers as possible and to coordinate our testing work.

The document should be used as Work In Progress so please feel free to add additional test scenarios and comments

and add "Pass" if you have finished a specific test so that other testers can see what still needs to be done.

All tests here should be based on the currently available version 8.0 beta 4 (09/2009). Once a next version (maybe a next beta or release candidate) is released, we plan to use this existing document as the template for that next version and might have to do most if not all of these tests again on that newer version! The more details for our procedures we document here, the easier it might be for more testers to join our efforts!

In general

  • check the related logfile(s) for each test
  • don't hesitate to raise a bug if there is an issue or something suspicious but check the Bugtracker before whether this might already be reported
  • A list of currently reported bugs for SME 8.0 is here: bugzilla:3640

Test guidelines

The purpose of the page is mostly to verify features are working, you can list a bug number if you like but we don't intend to duplicate the tracking provided by bugzilla:3640

Verification

Create a test environment, either virtually or with spare hardware. Install the latest release, add some test users/ibays/domains/websites, send some internal e-mails, copy some files to/from ibays, perform a backup and restore. Perform as many functions that you can based on your knowledge and test environment abilities. Play. :)

The scenario's should be as complex as needed, but also as simple as possible, testing one unique feature where possible.

For instance creating an ibay could mean something like this, perhaps even incomplete as I am doing this from the top of my head:

  • log in in server-manager
  • create ibay
  • test for directory created (-f /home/e-smith/ibays/ibayname)
  • check for account (ibayname) created
  • check for group (ibayname) created
  • anaylze log for errors/exceptions

but also (and that is the most work mostly) test exceptions (names too long, starting with a number, containing a _, as well as all other exceptions):

  • log in in server-manager
  • create ibay with invalid name
  • check the error in the server-manager screen
  • check no account (ibayname) is created
  • check no group (ibayname) is created
  • check that the error is present in the log file

Header codes

Check one feature at a time and add comments. We will use a shorthand in the header line so we can check progress quickly

header x   - unchecked 
header ?   - questions
header bug - there is a bug and make sure it's in bugzilla
header     - blank means the section has passed

Installation x

Installation types x

Different installation scenarios re. software RAID, LVM and NOSPARE usage, etc.

to check: /var/log/messages; server-console, item 5; cat /proc/mdstat (which is the same as server-console, item 5;)

  • RAID1 nolvm spares=2 - Pass

Comments:

  • RAID1 "nolvm" - Pass

Comments: Installation was RAID1, nolvm with one physical disk only; adding second disk still to be tested

  • RAID5 (with lvm) spares=0 - Pass

Comments:

  • RAID5 nolvm spares=2 - Pass

Comments:

  • RAID6 (with lvm) spare=1 multipart - Pass

Comments:

  • RAIDx "nolvm"

Comments:

Upgrading x

Upgrade from older versions x

to check: /var/log/messages

  • from 7.4
  • from 7.3
  • from 7.2

  • test IP allocation - Pass
- for predefined MAC addresses (= 'static' IP allocation)
- for dynamic IPs

Server-gateway

  • Pass

Comments: Running as gateway behind broadband router with static IP for several weeks; all sorts of incoming connections tested (email, ssh, webmail, server-manager access) successfully, also outgoing traffic from various PCs (Windows, Linux) on LAN

Server-only

Comments:

Comments: Both scenarios tested

Test internet

Pass - Prompt displays, then 'The test was successful...'

Reboot

Pass - reboot, reconfigure & shutdown

Raid x

Access Server Manger

Pass - server-manager displays and navigation works

View Support ?

'Mitel Networks' is repeated 5 times, the dates are wrong, also their link is dead,

see bug 1899, future - cleanup

can you exit the screen ? how ?

Backup to USB x

Server Manager x

Collaboration x

Users bug

  • create new user account - partially passed only

Comments: Although user create via server-manager looks OK, the logs indicate other problems:

Will investigate ldap issue ( bug 2859 + bug 5159 )

  • reset user password - Pass

Comments: server-manager message OK, eventlog check OK

  • lock/unlock account - Pass

Comments: both activities checked; server-manager messages OK, eventlog check OK

  • add/remove user to different groups - Pass

Comments: added user to various other groups and later removed from all of these groups

  • delete user account - Pass (partially only)

Server manager message: An error occurred while trying to delete the user but the user name is actually removed from the list of users Extract from messages log:

I suspect this to be related to the above ldap issue ( bugs 2859 + bug 5159 )

  • re create deleted user account - Tested but failed (assuming due to above user-delete only partially working)
  • reset user password user account - Pass

Here is an extract from one test:

Steps:

  • join PC to domain (as user 'admin') and test domain user logon on that PC - Pass
  • join (another) PC to domain (as a different user from group 'Domain Admins', NOT user admin) - Pass

Comments: The user 'michael' is part of that group:

db accounts show domain-admin-group 
domain-admin-group=group
   Description=Domain Admins

  • domain user password change via Ctrl-Alt-Del - Partially

Comments: Several combinations tested, incl. invalid combinations (e.g. password too short); successfully changed; case sensitivity tested; testing was done with the following setting in place:

db configuration show passwordstrength
passwordstrength=configuration
   Admin=none
   Ibays=none
   Users=none

Might need more testing with better password strength.

Comments: Server runs in a semi production state - as a home server with various email accounts for family members (static IP, registered domain name). Have done regular checks for quite some time and there is nothing unusual or unexpected in all email logs. Incl. email header checks for spam recognition and filtering.

  • regular Clam scans - Pass

enable regular scanning in server-manager and check results (email to admin)

Comments: Runs weekly without problems, emails to admin working.
