=Version 9.0 testing=
This document lists tests that we need to do to get version 9.0 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.

All tests here should be based on the latest available version ''''9.0 Alpha 1''''. with updates including smeupdates-testing you have a preview of a work in progress

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: [http://bugs.contribs.org/report.cgi?x_axis_field=bug_status&y_axis_field=product&z_axis_field=&query_format=report-table&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=365d&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&format=table&action=wrap&negate0=1&field0-0-0=bug_status&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=CLOSED bugzilla matrix]

==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:]]

==Executive Summary==
In general everything works as well as in SME 7, if not better.

==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 and have fun :)

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
* analyze 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

==Test Schedule and Header codes==
A sample test schedule is provided below. Check one feature at a time and add comments. We will use a shorthand in the header line so we can check progress quickly. The test list below starts with no headers since we start afresh. The intention is for testers to update this document to reflect their testing, thus avoiding duplication.
* header blank - unchecked
* header ? - questions, or more to do
* header bug - there is a bug
* header Pass - means the section has been tested and has passed

Some sample comments have been left from previous work during testing of sme7.0b4 for information since they outline useful procedures, please add your own comments as applicable.

=Installation=

==Installation types==
Different installation scenarios re. software RAID, LVM and NOSPARE usage, etc. Note that you need to test each scenario separately, meaning reinstalling from scratch for each test - you cannot modify a Raid configuration after a system has been installed.

Check this for each configuration:
: /var/log/messages
: server-console, item 5
: cat /proc/mdstat (which is the same as server-console, item 5;)

*RAID1 nolvm spares=2
Comments:
*RAID1 "nolvm"
Comments: Installation was RAID1, nolvm with one physical disk only; adding second disk still to be tested
*RAID5 (with lvm) spares=0
Comments:
*RAID5 nolvm spares=2
Comments:
*RAID6 (with lvm) spare=1 multipart
Comments:
*RAIDx "nolvm"

=Upgrading =

==Upgrade from older versions ==

==CD upgrade from a clean SME7.5.1==

Comments: The user 'michael' is part of that group:
db accounts show domain-admin-group
domain-admin-group=group
Description=Domain Admins
Gid=5010
Members=admin,michael
Uid=5010

Comments: i.e. log extract from /var/log/messages for the latest join:

* domain user password change via Ctrl-Alt-Del
Comments: i.e. 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.

* Connect to samba share

====Roaming profiles====

* Test with WinXP Pro AND Win7 Pro clients

Comments:

===Directory===
Check the following:
* Directory (LDAP) access

: Thunderbird LDAP test on local network

===Printers ===
Attached/created LTP,USB and network printer; Printing test page:
* USB printer
* LTP printer
* Network printer

===Hostnames===

set a hostname to a remote server works

set a hostname to self works

set hostname for other host on the local network - passed
(tested with several other hosts)

===Domains===

* 2nd domain added, web and email works

* Test all DNS options

===Email===

====Access====
Test functionality for the following:
*webmail

*pop3(s)
Comments:

*imap(s)
Comments: i.e. Intensive, ongoing testing with imap & imaps access from LAN PCs and external

* check: /var/log/pop3(s)/current
* check: /var/log/imap(s)/current

====Filtering====

====Reception====

====Delivery====

===Antivirus ===
Clam/email integration

* Check: /var/log/qmail/current

* Check: /var/log/qpsmtpd/current
* Check: /var/log/clamd/current
* Check: /var/log/clamd/smeserver-clamscan.log
* Check: email headers

Comments: i.e. 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.

* Check regular Clam scans
* Enable regular scanning in server-manager and check results (email to admin)

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