Introduction
This page was created after the DCAT Meeting September 2015, where a working group was formed to prepare the test plans for the DSpace 6 Testathon.
Objectives
- Create two plans, one for XMLUI, one for JSPUI
- Create these plans as collaborative spreadsheets (Google Docs)
- Group the different tests per user persona/access level
- Anonymous - Non-authenticated, anonymous users
- Submitter - Authenticated user with submission rights
- Collection Admin - Authenticated user with collection administration rights
- Admin - Authenticated user with admin rights
- Create plans to be used on demo.dspace.org
- As a secondary benefit, it would be great if these plans can work as a model for in-house testing of your own upgrades.
Out of scope
- Specific work on DSpace documentation
- This will be treated in parallel, related to each new feature for which documentation needs to be reviewed
- Tests for the other DSpace webapps
- Performance and Load tests
