Test Plan - PostgreSQL

Objective:

The objective of the document is to describe the Test plan of Space Walk - during the migration of the Database from the Oracle to Postgres.

The areas identified to Test:

  1. Functional Testing

  2. Query/Stored Procedure Unit Tests

  3. System Testing

  4. Performance Test - queries,

  5. Data Migration - Oracle -> Postgres, Postgres -> Oracle

  6. API Testing.

  7. Upgrade Testing

  8. Scale/Concurrency Testing (eg: large numbers of web requests at once)

Important Milestones during the Testing Process:

  1. Application Knowledge Transfer.
  2. Environment Identification and Setup
  3. Access to Scripts and Knowledge Transfer.
  4. Identify all the gaps in the existing scripts
  5. Priorterize the order of the modules.
  6. Establish a set of benchmarks for performance on Oracle.
  7. Communication & Reporting plan
  8. Plan to execute and Test modules - along with sign-offs
  9. UAT.
  10. Establish as set of scale benchmarks for performance on Oracle.

Communication Plan:

  1. The project wiki - will be the primary communication area - regarding the tasks, dates and tracking progress.
  2. Conference calls - twice a week - to measure progress.
  3. Daily and coverage during the overlap of Team - will be available on the irc channel as well as other modes identified.

Reporting & Tracking Issues:

  1. Identify the tool to report and Track issues to closure.
  2. Identify the priority and severity.
  3. The process for the life cycle of a issue - report - plan - resolve - test – close

Are we going to track query/stored procedure testing?

User Acceptance Criteria:

  1. Identify and document the user acceptance criteria for the application.
  2. Includes the sign-off criteria.

Team Identification:

  1. Identified the Team Member (Tushaar - EDB)
  2. Introduce - and get him to start working.

Only (1) ?

Application Knowledge Transfer:

  1. Spend 1 day - Teaching the Test resource the spacewalk application functionality.

One day is enough for an overview and to grasp the fundamentals but this resource will have to spend a week or so reading the application documentation.

Environment Setup:

  1. Identify Environment Setup:
    1. Identified as a 4 machine setup.
    2. Get further details on hardware and software requirements.
  2. Acquisition of the Environment.
  3. Setup the environment - a 2 day task.
  4. Setup access to RedHat to the Environment.

Identify Modules to Test and Create Functional Use Cases.

Use cases or test cases?

  1. Identify all the different modules to Test.
  2. Create the priority Order
  3. Create functional Use Cases and Test Cases around the Test Cases. Who will do this? Without a complete understanding of the application, how will EDB do this? Will these be documented using RH test case templates? Are the test cases to be created for ALL functionality or just those functions not already documented by RH test cases?
  4. Review -> update -> review -> sign off cycle for each module.
  5. The Modules identified to Test are:
    1. Web-UI
    2. API
    3. Release Engineering
    4. E-mail regression
    5. Sanity
    6. Proxy
    7. Monitoring
    8. Quick Search
    9. Advanced Search
    10. Channels
    11. Errata
    12. Auto Errata Updates
    13. Errata Search
    14. Configuration Management
    15. Pagination
    16. RHN Registration
    17. SDC Software
    18. Activation Key
    19. Reactivation Key
    20. Multi Org - RHN
    21. Multi Org - II
    22. Authentication
    23. Virtualization
    24. Kickstart
    25. Solaris
    26. Users
    27. SSM
    28. Satellite Sync & Export

Automation:

  1. Get access to existing automated test scripts.
  2. Setup and run the automated test scripts.
  3. Knowledge Transfer on the existing Test scripts.
  4. Start building on the existing Test Scripts.

We need to account for manual testing using client side parts of the application. For example: Have 5000+ systems register or check-in and receive some number of updates (rpms).

Performance:

  1. Get a sample data set.
  2. Identify use cases for performance testing.
  3. Identify the parameters of performance testing.
  4. Create a baseline benchmark with the existing application.
  5. Run the same and identify and fix - on the migrated environment.

Add: 6. Identify test cases for scale and DB concurrency testing.

Migration:

  1. Assumption - Only migration from the latest release version to the with Oracle to Postgres and Postgres to Oracle.
  2. Create a data set for migration.
  3. Migrate to Postgres.
  4. Run regression of the whole application.
  5. Migrate to Oracle from Postgres.
  6. Run regression of the whole application.

Add: 7. Schema upgrade testing.

User Acceptance Testing:

  1. Run a complete regression of the application.
  2. Perform performance and generate a score sheet.

Add: 3. Performance scale/concurrency testing and generate a score sheet.

  1. Review and get sign-offs. This is a 2 phase:
    1. Module by module sign-offs
    2. Entire application sign-off.

Time Lines and Team:

Team: Identified ? the QA resource ? Tushaar.

TimeLine

TBD ? once plan has been reviewed.
