Testing of integrated issues

From MoodleDocs

Note: This page is for analysing and developing our weekly testing of code added to the integration server. It is a work-in-progress. Comments or suggestions are welcome! Please use the page comments.


Testing is an important part of the Moodle development process.

The testing process

  1. Go through the 'Ready for testing' pull requests
  2. Test the new 2.0 features/fixes on the Moodle QA Testing Site and 1.9 fixes on a local site
  3. Select 'Pass test' or 'Fail test' as appropriate, adding a short description of what was tested if not obvious
  4. If the test passes, close the corresponding MDL issue, add a fix version of the next unreleased version e.g. 2.0.2 (keeping any sprint version and only deleting any backlog version) and yourself as QA assignee (the QA field will be enabled after workflow switch soon -- skodak)
  5. If the issue is rejected, reopen the MDL issue
  6. If the test fails the assignee has to deal with the issue - accept fix from the reported or revert the code and reject the issue

Notes

  • For issues which require an Oracle installation for testing, Petr, Eloy and Apu have one
  • The MDL issue should be used for general comments about the issue, rather than PULL issue, as less people are watching PULL issues
  • If testers pass or fail a pull request by mistake, there is currently no way for them to revert their change (please message Petr to get it fixed)
  • Testers should not be involved in the bugfixing or review process
