[WG: Sakai QA] Important - QA Testers needed urgently

[Neal Caidin]

Not sure if this made it to QA the first time?  I hope it makes it through this time (it did get received by the Dev list).

Cheers,

> Hi All,
> 
> We are planning on producing our first Release Candidate for Sakai 2.9.0 by Monday. To achieve this, we need a big push from our Developer and QA communities over the next couple of days.  Even if you have never tested before, please consider helping out. 
> 
> 1) Please take a look at this list and pick at least one issue to test: 
> https://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=13592
> 
> 2) Optional but preferred - Use the sign up sheet to we insure we are testing different Jiras - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asl8v3FPvRHddFVlUDh5czJFVjRwT180U3NZenZubFE
> 
> 3) You should test on Trunk - http://trunk.sakaiqa.org  .  See Tips for testing below for important information about the Trunk (aka nightly) server. 
> 
> 4) Update the Jira ticket directly (if you have permissions to set the ticket to Verified, please feel free to do so) or update the Google doc - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asl8v3FPvRHddFVlUDh5czJFVjRwT180U3NZenZubFE  to
> 
> 5) Help - if you need help getting started testing, please email me at nealcaidin at sakaifoundation.org or Skype  - nealkdin . I'm on Eastern Daylight time (GMT -4). 
> 
> 
> Tips for testing:
> 
> * Use the "New Account" button on the portal page to create an instructor and several student accounts for testing.
> * Shared instructor and student accounts exist already which can be helpful for certain types of tests. Student accounts from student0001 through student0500. Their password is "sakai".  Several instructor accounts exist as well - instructor, instructor1, instructor2. Same password.
> * IMPORTANT: The trunk server is automatically rebuilt every 4 hours. This can wipe out your testing if you are in the middle of it. Refresh times are midnight, 4 am, 8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm, 8 pm Eastern Daylight time (same for GMT time, since there is currently a -4 hour difference). Refreshes take about 20 minutes.
> * IMPORTANT: If you test Email functionality, the emails are sent to the log files instead of being sent out as emails. check - http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org and the "SVN trunk on Oracle 11g (trunk/sakai)" row for a link to the log files.
> * http://trunk.sakaiqa.org is an alias which points to http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8082/portal
