Overview
The following provides a list of considerations and workflows for and during testing of the local configuration and functionality of FileSender prior to the 1.1 release. See Test Workflows for v1-0-1 for tests conducted for the 1.01 release, and Test Workflows for v1-5 for tests planned for the 1.5 release.
These tests are based primarily on usage by Wendy Mason of the AARNet installation of FileSender. Contributions to these workflows also provided by Xander Jansen based on the SURFnet installation of FileSender.
Please note that these test workflows may not represent an exhaustive list of all possible user actions. Also, some aspects of these workflows may become no longer applicable as FileSender develops. If you find anything incorrect, please advise, or correct it yourself if you have access.
