QUALITY ASSURANCE

Version 10.# Quality Assurance testing

This document lists tests that we need to do to get version 10.# 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 '10.# Beta X'. 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 Server 10.# is here: [1]

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

There has not been enough testing to indicate how well SME Server 10.# is working.

Please report by adding [Pass] or [Fail], your name by using ~~~~, and release version ie SME10a1. You can also add a comment (Comment: used this software)

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 = no header - unchecked
• header ? - questions, or more to do [please provide your name for follow-up]
• header BUG - there is a bug - provide Bug reference number, i.e [Bug xxxx]
• header PASS - means the section has been tested and has passed [please provide your name for follow-up]

Some sample comments have been left from testing previous SME Server versions for information since they outline useful procedures, please add your own comments as applicable.

Installation

Installation types

WARNING!!! NOT SUPPORTED YET AS SME10 alpha1

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;)

Now also working for windows 7 PC's

• PDC - setup Primary Domain Controller

Suggested steps:

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

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.
