| =What is QA=
| |
| Here few documents related to QA/Testing on Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_quality_assurance], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing]
| |
| | |
| =Participate to QA for your benefit=
| |
| The document described the Moodle QA. Any participation is welcome. Please use the tab "page comments" in order to participate. A good Moodle QA will be a great benefit for Moodle project but also for any company using Moodle.
| |
| | |
| =QA Objective=
| |
| Main objective: is a major version ok for release?
| |
| | |
| A major version is ok when (TBD):
| |
| * critical bug number < 5%
| |
| * major bug number < 20%
| |
| * new functionalities has been implemented
| |
| | |
| A successful QA cycle assures that we have tested all major Moodle functionalities.
| |
| | |
| = QA Results =
| |
| The Test Case management system needs to display:
| |
| * how many test cases are failed and how many are passed for a specific version/component. (test case issues)
| |
| * how many critical/major bugs for a specific version/component (bug issues)
| |
| | |
| =Need to be identified=
| |
| QA Cost (in persons-hours) for:
| |
| * writting test cases (the first time)
| |
| * preparing the QA cycle (update test case, get a new QA system ready for testing, update test data)
| |
| * create a test data package for people testing on local?
| |
| * running all test cases
| |
| | |
| When should a QA cycle be run?<br>
| |
| What function specs/Use Cases have we got?<br>
| |
| Who can write test cases?<br>
| |
| Who can run test cases?<br>
| |
| | |
| =Draft/Ideas/Opinion/Requirements/Notes=
| |
| * We need to make a clear statement of the Moodle docs in order to make a difference between: User Manuals, Function Specifications, Technical Specifications, Requirements, ... and many mixed document. (The moodle docs are a powerful resource of information, however at the current time Google is your best friend in order to find information.)
| |
| * There is a lack of detailed functional specifications and Use Cases => at this moment only developers and experimented user would be able to write functionality with missing use cases. (not so good)
| |
| * use JIRA tracking system: we will use Jira as Test Case Managment system. Jira as not been developed for Test Case Management system but it can be used in order to manage a simple QA environment. The main reason to use Jira is to use a software that the community is familiar with.
| |
| * I need to study Quality Assurance into open source world: how does the other projects manage their QA department?
| |
| * Moodle doesn't have deadline. It is released when it will be ready. But avoid no-end QA phase.
| |
| * there are many experimented users that can test Moodle.
| |
| * some people/company using Moodle probably have already written test plans, test cases, maybe even use cases.
| |
| * need documentation on how to write a test cases and how to run test case. Need also document for QA administrator (setting a QA cycle, read the result, managing the QA cycle)
| |
| * need to link Moodledocs QA documents with Moodle docs tracker documents, organize an easy to read Quality Engineering section into Moodledocs (include Code Testing as well).
| |
| * we could create a testing program as Netbeans [http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/65/index.html]
| |
| | |
| =Jira=
| |
| * The search tool of Jira will provide the QA results. Need to identify exatcly how.
| |
| * JIRA as a Test Case Management System: We'll create a main issue containing thousand of sub-tasks. These subtasks will be Test Case.
| |
| | |
| =QA for other projects=
| |
| Netbeans [http://wiki.netbeans.org/TestSpecifications]
