Thalia is a new image management and repository system being developed by IS&T.  The client consists of a Flash-based user application making calls to the Thalia server via a REST API over HTTPS.  The Thalia server will utilize an Alfresco repository for image and metadata storage.

 Currently planned test elements include:

• performance testing of Alfresco repository with many (20k, 1M) small files
• functional testing of the Thalia server designed to test the complete REST API
• functional testing of the Thalia server using scenarios designed after typical use cases
• load/performance testing of the Thalia server using the two tests described above

Test elements not currently planned include:

• automated user-interface testing in a Flash-capable virtual browser  environment (testing of this sort may be done by a group of humans with scripts, however)
• automated static code analysis

Repository testing will happen in the near future and is relevant to other Alfresco-based work.  Testing at the REST API level is planned eventually though with an uncertain timeframe.
