QA testing
Quality Assurance tests look at the functionality of Moodle from a user's point of view. Real users systematically try each feature in Moodle and test that it works in the current version of the Moodle code.
Getting involved
Would you like to help with QA testing? If so, please contact Helen.
All testers are members of the testers group in the Moodle Tracker, enabling them to assign, comment and pass or fail Moodle QA issues.
Running tests
- Select a test from the Moodle 2.0 QA Cycle 1 list (or the Moodle 2.0 QA Cycle 1 overview)
- Using either the Moodle QA Testing Site or your own test site running the latest Moodle 2.0 version, perform each of the steps listed in the test
- Choose an appropriate workflow action:
- Pass - Test runs perfectly :-)
- Fail - Indicate in a comment where the test fails and include a MDL issue link to the report of the problem (creating a new issue if necessary)
- Obsolete - Test is no longer relevant in the current Moodle version (unlikely for Moodle 2.0, but may occur when testing Moodle 2.1)
If in doubt whether to pass a test, give it a fail and perhaps ask someone else to have a look by adding them as a watcher then adding a comment.
Note: Always use today's version of Moodle 2.0 for testing. The Moodle QA Testing Site is updated daily.
Feedback
Feedback on all aspects of our QA testing process is welcome. If you have any questions or comments, please post in the Testing and QA forum in Using Moodle.
