Hi,

I am looking for volunteers to help with testing for version 2.3 of Moodle. There will be lots of opportunities to see and test the new features that are being implemented.

Tim,

I'm interested in helping with QA testing for Moodle 2.3.  I contacted Helen about this a couple months ago and summarized my experience and credentials.  Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,

Floyd

Hi Tim,

Currently I am familiarising myself with Moodle 2 (v2.2) as part of an upgrade project for the institution I work for.

I am quite interested in keeping abreast to Moodle developments, thus I would be happy to help in testing.

Cheers,
Chris

I'd be more than happy to join the testing group. We'll be moving to 2.3 within next six months so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on testing out new assignments module and file picker and other features. Bryan

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Paul Nicholls -

Likewise for both the assignment module and file picker changes - unfortunately, I'm not seeing the new assignment module in the latest master / 2.3dev build, so I can only hope that it's still on target for 2.3...

Edit:
I see that Netspot have a fork on github that contains the new mod_assign module - hopefully somebody from Netspot or HQ can weigh in here to let us know how stable / close to integration it is, but in the mean time I guess impatient individuals can grab a copy from there to see how it's looking at the moment...

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Tim Barker -

Thanks for the response and I'll be in touch shortly. There will be some formal acceptance testing to do but I'm also interested in changing the format a little with an exploratory testing phase so you can all give the NEW stuff a real work out in whatever way you can imagine!

Anyone else who wants to help is still more than welcome.

What a fantastic response to Tim's request! Many thanks to you all for volunteering. tilfreds

If you've not been involved in QA testing previously, please make sure you have created an account in the Moodle tracker so we can add you to the testers group. Otherwise, stay tuned for the announcement within the next few weeks that we're starting the Moodle 2.3 QA cycle!

Hi Shirley,

Moodle 2.3 QA testing is due to start on Monday 21st May. The start date has been pushed back a bit due to a few last minute delays in major features being integrated.

It's not necessary for you to have your own copy to test, as everyone is welcome to use our QA testing site. Help with testing stuff on Windows using Internet Explorer is particularly appreciated. smiler

This seems surprisingly late to me. Surely everything is now integrated, more or less. Why are we not starting now, and giving ourselves an extra 2 weeks of testing time?

Hi Tim,

I am part of the Lightwork team (see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Lightwork). 

As we have done it in the past for Lightwork, we have written a testing document (see the last two files at http://lightwork.massey.ac.nz/documents/show/6) for the Marking Guide functionality that is to be included in 2.3.

Is this the type of scenario you are looking for? 

Regards, Eva

PS: Please add me as tester with special interest in the new assignment module.

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

I'm particularly interested in the new assignment module (compatibility with some 3rd party plugins) and especially the paged course format! (have some VERY long courses that need reorganising ^^)

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

Yes please Eva! Have you written any tests in Moodle tracker before? Do you have adequate access to add tests in the MDLQA project?

Please limit the scope of your tests to MDL-31731!

I svar til Tim Barker

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Eva Heinrich -

No, I haven't used the Moodle tracker before (trying to get my head around it).

I tried to create an issue at http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA, but was expecting to be able to choose an issue type 'functional testing' or similar (I can only see bug, new feature, task and improvement). Am I looking in the wrong place?

Just confirming with you all that QA Testing will start this coming Monday 21/05/2012. I will let you know when 2.3 has been released to the Moodle QA site and when the QA tests for 2.3 are available in tracker.

I believe you are all now members of the testing group in Moodle Tracker, if you have any problems with this next week and beyond, please let me know.

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Tim Barker -

Hi, the Moodle 2.3 QA tests are now available in Moodle Tracker. The developers at Moodle HQ are performing some last minute polishing of the 2.3 files usability feature, so the tests for that are currently marked as Moodle QA non-runners.

We expect the 2.3 file usability stuff to land shortly. However, other major 2.3 features such as the new Assignment module and Paged Course format are ready for testing.

http://qa.moodle.net/ is up to date and ready for you to log in and start your testing. Please see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/QA_testing for instructions on running a test.

The QA tests for 2.3 are at http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA-1814. Please run them from there.

Hi Tim,

I 've finished testing MDLAQ-1902 Moodle 2.3 ongoing QA Cycle 1,  and everything was successful as written in the testing instructions.

Please how do I select appropriate action- "Pass" in the Tracker? I ve gone through the QA Instructions Manual and I'm yet to figure it out.

I will appreciate your quick response.

Thanks.

Kingsley.

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Tim Barker -

As long as you are logged into tracker you should be able to see a Pass button. You should click that.

Re: Help Required for Testing 2.3

ved Kingsley Udeh -

Hi Tim,

I'm sorry I still couldn't find the "Pass" button in the Moodle Tracker. Can you please look at my procesdures below and see where I do get it wrong:

1. Go to Moodle Tracker here: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA-1814 

Choose a task and follow description or test instructions as shown below:

 

2. Login to the Moodle 2.3 Testing Site http://qa.moodle.net/ and perform the above chosen tasks as shown bellow:

 

3. Finished testing instructions succesfully. How do I change the "Open" status in the Tracker as shown above to a "Pass" status ?

Please bear with me as my question might be too basic.

Thanks

Kingsley

Hi Kingsley,

It seems you weren't a member of the testers group in the tracker. You are now though, so should see pass and fail buttons for each QA test.

More tests added to the 2.3 testing cycle. So if anyone wants to have a go at the newly, fully integrated book module or the module selector, we now have tests for them.

Don't forget that the files usability/file picker feature is now up and running on the Moodle QA test site and the tests, starting from number MDLQA-2313 are ready to run.

ved Rosario Carcò -

I hope I am n ot too late with this:

I changed the name of the MISCELLANEOUS, the only category present when you do a fresh install of **Moodle 2.3rc1 (Build: 20120624)**, with ID 1.

But now in every category I navigate, I see the category of this first default with its changed name in the breadcrumbs:

moodle23BreadCrumbs

And the breadcrumb link leads to Cat with ID 1. But if we are in any top level cat, the breadcrumb should simply lead to the FrontPage, I think. In the navigation block this category is boldfaced, as if we were really in this category. But we are in Hochschule für Gestaltung, with ID 5

I checked also on my 2.07 test server and at that time it was correct:

moodle207BreadCrumbs

Unfortunately I can noch check with 2.3.1 because I would need a newer version of PHP. So apologies, if it has been corrected there.
