Introduction

This article is the test plan for Toaster.

Objectives

The test process focuses on:

  • validating the data collected from the build process;
  • verifying the correct functioning of the Toaster GUI; TBD

Test Areas

Toaster consists of two big components, as follows:

Backend

Functionality tests

  • REST API verification – create Django tests to detect API calls returning incomplete data (fields having null values);
  • Calculation of the data collection rate - the ratio between the number of the variables having null values ​​and the total number of variables collected (the data collection rate does not include wrong values);
  • Verify that all links in the simple UI are available;
  • Verify the quality of the data collected through the simple UI;
  • Verify the quality of the data collected by verifying directly most of the values from the database;

Usability tests

Frontend

Functionality tests

  • Manual testing in the first stage;
  • Automate testing using Selenium, in the second stage;

Compatibility tests

  • Verify the behavior of the GUI on different browsers and operating systems; TBD

Usability tests

Performance tests

  • Stress testing (e.g. display appropriate error messages when the system is under stress);
