3.4 Regression and Release Candidate Test Plan

Sam Im (Deactivated) and Joanna Bebak (Deactivated) to review 3.3 plan and create a 3.4 test plan here.

For the 3.4 release, the performance testing plan and status is tracked on this page.

Release Candidate Test Plan

During Sprint 104 we will follow the test plan detailed below:

If there are Blocker or Critical bugs when we start Sprint 104, they must be fixed and tested before testing can begin
Regression Test Plan will only include regression for Requisitions component (2 days of testing for both teams, and 1 day for bug fixes and bug fix testing)
Please execute the test cases in the order that they are listed in the test cycle, as assigned to you by the QA lead
If no Blocker or Critical bugs, then move to the release candidate deployment and testing
- RC Phase 1&2 (Two full days of testing for both teams, and 2 days for bug fixes and bug fix testing) for each release candidate as needed
- Testing will be done in test and uat environments (Sam Im (Deactivated) add links to new environments here)
  - Team Parrot environment:https://uat.openlmis.org/
  - Team JSI environment:https://uat3.openlmis.org/
  - Team Mind the Gap environment: https://uat4.openlmis.org/

If reviews are still pending at the end of the day, please mention the reviewer in slack. Brandon and one other team member will complete performance testing Bugs are labeled 3.4Phase2bug
Bug triage	Bug triage for Phase 2	Phase 2 Bug test cycle	1 full day (as needed)

After these test phases are complete, and all tests have passed with no Blocker or Critical bugs, we can deploy the release candidate and begin the next phases of testing that are defined below.

Questions

Sam Im (Deactivated)

Joanna Bebak (Deactivated)

Create Test Cycles
Create missing test cases and assign to test cycles
Assign Test Cases to team members
Point person for any questions about test cases from the team
Review execution of the test cycles, there should be positive progress during the day
Prioritize bugs per test cycle, Check that developers have detailed proposed solutions (if time allows or developer's experience allows) When a bug is created during the day, the bugs are triaged before end of day and detailed in the daily QA slack communication
Report the status of each test cycle, including defects reported, before end of day
After a bug fix test cycle, review automated testing and provide status before end of day (go to http://build.openlmis.org/view/all/builds)

Team leads:

Sebastian

Ashraf

Sam

Craig

Coordinate manual testing with team members
Coordinate manual performance testing with team members
Attend bug triage & assign bugs to team members
Review bugs created by team and check for completeness, proposed solutions, priorities, and labels

Team responsibilities

Execute test cases assigned to you by your team lead
Record the test execution by following these steps:Testing Process & Test Plans#ExecutingTestCase
Enter Defects as encountered:
- If there are any Blocker bugs, try to spend time completing a root cause analysis and add details in the bug ticket for ease in bug triage
- When a defect is found, research and provide proposals in the ticket for review by Sam & Joanna (as time allows)
- All bugs are labeled with their release candidate: RC1, RC2, etc.
Assist other testers as needed
Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) or Josh Zamor to set up update environment(s) with Release Candidate before testing begins
Team leads to provide updates on automated performance testing results
Team leads to coordinate manual UI Performance Testing

Sam Im (Deactivated) & Joanna Bebak (Deactivated) will create a bug test cycle when bugs are found, and assign the test cases to them, for each phase there will be a separate bug fix test cycle

Review list of bugs provided by Sam & Joanna in QA slack channel
Prioritize bugs
Provide priority to Sam & Joanna to update in QA slack channel (via filter or dashboard?)
Sam & Joanna create test cycles for retesting if needed
Sam & Joanna provide status update on bug fixes in QA slack channel as needed
Sam & Joanna communicate in slack the bugs that have been added to the board for the day.

When should we meet every day? Twice a day: 9am and 4pm
Guidance on Bug prioritization is located here:http://docs.openlmis.org/en/latest/contribute/contributionGuide.html#reporting-bugs
If there are bugs, then testing for this phase will be done in uat only.
If there are bugs found, then we must retest
If bugs prioritized as Major or less, they will be triaged in Phase 2 bug triage
Communication of the test plan before we start testing for the release
- Joanna Bebak (Deactivated) and Sam Im (Deactivated) are responsible for communicating this test plan in the QA slack channel

Communication on the Test Plan and the daily testing status:

What needs to be communicated daily?
- Test Cycle execution status (including test cycle name and % of completion)
- #of test cases that were executed, passed, and failed
- Joanna Bebak (Deactivated) will post any test cases or items that need attention and review by Team ILL at the end of her day in the QA slack channel
- Sam Im (Deactivated) will post any test cases or items that need attention and review by Team Parrot at the end of her day in the QA slack channel
Best time of day (for each team to communicate morning status and end of day status & share blockers)
- Beg of day, post what we are doing today
- End of day, post status of what we have done and anything pending

Release Candidate Testing Concerns:

Release testing should include all teams testing during the same sprint period
Concern: There have been multiple teams working on one component (requisitions) there isn't a clear way to break out the release of features by team. So teams will release components. Who releases what?
- The team that has made the most changes may take ownership of releasing the component.
- This includes manual performance testing
  - Team Ona owns reporting
  - Team Mind the Gap owns Administration (reference data)
  - Team Parrot
  - Team JSI owns Requisitions
Concern: Managing multiple teams, teams testing in parallel
- End of day reports of testing status
- Automate testing status reports (when possible)
- More servers for testing (might need 2 new servers)
Concern: Who fixes bugs found during regression & release testing
- During Bug triage, identify and assign bugs to teams
- Some team members may be fixing bugs while others don't have any release candidate activities to do (no additional testing needed)
- Representatives from each team should be included in the bug triage to estimate and discuss capacity to fix
Concern: Teams don't have work to do during testing (blocked by waiting for bug fixes)
- Plan work for each team in case they are done early
  - Updating documentation, prepping release documentation
  - Potentially start on new work as time permits
  - Exploratory testing
Concern: setting up perftest for manual performance testing (matching baseline data)
