h2. Thalia'sQAScheduleFirst half of each Thalia sprint is devoted to development. QA uses this time to write test plans and test cases to cover new functionality, and perform testing on fixed bugs and new features as they are released to the staging platform. Bug reports are converted to new test cases, as they indicate an area that needs coverage. The second half of each Thalia sprint is the QA phase. When the candidate build has been put up on the staging platform, QA begins regression testing to confirm that all functionality still works as expected. h3. _Development Phase_ *As each build is released to QA:* * Smoke test to confirm integrity of basic functionality: \- test create, view, update, and delete of all components * Verify and close defect fixes with each new build: \- Close fixed JIRA issues \- Reopen JIRA issues as needed. \- Write additional test cases for new bugs. * Test new functionality: \- Open JIRA issues as needed. \- Write test cases for new functionality. h3. _QA Phase_ *When final candidate build is released to QA:* * Initial smoke test of major functionality. * Regression test - hunting for bugs in previously working areas (use test cases to guide this; log results in the test log). * Re-test bugs fixed during the current sprint - make sure they are still fixed. * Open new JIRA issues as requiredExploratory testing - find creative new ways Thalia can go wrong. {div}Development PhaseAs each build is released to QA:

Acceptance of the Release
...
Test plans change with each version of the product. They also provide documentation about product functionality which would help a new programmer or tech writer ramp up. This makes it as important to keep test plans in a versioned, central location with the code. Thalia's QA plans may be found with the code in SVN at svn+ssh://svn.mit.edu/zest/thalia/qa . You must have access to SVN to access the repository.
