Sahana Bug Finding Day 2009-11-27

Overview

A full three days - 72 hours - of communal bug-finding on the Sahana 1.0 Release Candidate code. A demo site has been provided for everyone to use for testing and validation.

Priorities and Sequence of Testing

We need to test the entire 0.6 code - all features and functionality. The following table contains the suggested order of testing based on the process of setting up Sahana for use. If not complete, please do the admin system configurations first… then sign up to take responsibility to test a module (or sub-module). Your mission is to break Sahana if possible. Press every button - try to omit data that should be required - try to go back and edit and make sure your changes take, etc. Mark status as “complete” when testing is complete, “in progress” during tested, and “not started” before testing.

Instructions to Download Source

Instructions to download the relevant branch from CVS

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@sahana.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sahana co -r rel_0_6 -P sahana-phase2

Location to Register Bugs

We are going to be using the Trac ticket system to register bugs, critical feature requests, and typo/spelling errors that need fixing for the 1.0 release.

Please enter a new ticket within the Trac ticket system for Sahana here: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sahana/newticket. Anonymous access has been enabled so should not have to be logged into Sourceforge or have a Sourceforge ID in order to enter a new ticket into the system - but this doesn't appear to be working (I get a blank screen when not logged in).

If you are unable to enter a new ticket on Trac - please report the details of the bug to the #sahana room and someone will post it for you - alternatively, send a message to the Sahana Developer's list - sahana-maindev AT lists DOT sourceforge DOT net.

Fixing Bugs

The priority for Bug Finding Day is bug finding… and we expect bug fixing to take more than a day. That said, if developers produce patches - these can be applied and tested by committers who are available.

It would be helpful if people could sign up to take responsibility to fix bugs - these will be assigned to you on Trac based on the modules or sub-modules or piece that you volunteer to fix. Please fill out the table below:

Name Sourceforge ID IRC Nick Committer (Y/N) Bug Fixer for Module/Sub-Module/Function

Communication

The primary means of communication will be #sahana on freenode.net - alternatively use the Sahana developer's list - sahana-maindev AT lists DOT sourceforge DOT net
