[WG: Sakai QA] Sakai QA] Request for admin access to QA Server

[Richwine, Brian L]

Thanks Alan,

Of the options you mentioned, the by hand and Selenium scripts do seem the most likely. I would still need an admin account, or at least the appropriate privileges, so I can create course sites, quickly add users, etc. 

How do I request/get an account with privileges to create new courses, assign instructors, etc.?

Hi Brian,

If you signal, I won't delete content from qa1-nl while you are going through your testing cycle.

We have a mix on the QA servers with most starting with clean databases. Marist and Indiana for example have just converted content from 2.6 when upgrading.

There are different ways to provision:

1) By hand
2) Via selenium scripts https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/qa/trunk/functional/2.7/Selenium/
3) By provisioning QA web services  https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/qa/trunk/provisioning/version_3/ (or partially through the entitybroker /direct and the services it exposes)
4) Jmeter / grinder scripts
more.

The easiest to start with is a combination of 1 and 2.

Hello,

The Accessibility Working Group wants to begin its Sakai 2.7 Accessibility Review. A problem we have had in past reviews is the need for content to be loaded into in the tools before they can be adequately tested. I am looking for suggestions as towards the best way to do this.

Are any QA servers provisioned with content (like classes, students, assignments, resources, etc.) that represent typical use? Do I need to request appropriate permissions as needed to create such content and make generate it myself? I've noticed that the databases on the QA servers frequently get reset, is there a way to overcome this (like exporting and importing content)?

Thanks,
