Overview

The following provides a list of considerations and test workflows (both automated and manual) for and during testing of the local configuration and functionality of FileSender prior to the 1.5 release. See Test Workflows for links to tests conducted for other releases.

These tests are based primarily on tests conducted by Wendy Mason. Contributions to these workflows also provided by Xander Jansen.

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 Also, some aspects of these workflows may become no longer applicable as FileSender develops.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.

** NOTE: Steps currently automated using Selenium are contained in yellow-shaded boxes **

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Browser Flash plugin, Javascript settings and HTML5 detection

• disable Flash plugin and restart browser (leave disabled for HTML5 case)
  
• Flash case only: load FileSender logon page and logon, prompt should appear "This application requires Flash for uploading files. To install Flash Player go to www.adobe.com." with a hyperlink to www.adobe.com. Logoff, re-enable Flash plugin and restart browser
• disable Javascript in browser (e.g. Firefox on Mac under Preferences > Content)
• load FileSender logon page again, prompt should appear "JavaScript is turned off in your web browser. This application will not run without Javascript enabled in your web browser."
• re-enable Javascript (no need to restart browser)
• load FileSender logon page again
• verify whether "HTML5 [tick]" or "HTML5 X" icon is displayed, which indicates whether the browser (version) does support HTML5 (HTML5 case) or does not (Flash case)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Authenticated only --

Authentication - Logon

• verify that page cannot be reached by http - should be accessible via https only
• click on the About and Help links and verify content, before logging on
• logon
• click on the About and Help links again and verify content again after logon
• verify that name is displayed in top left corner "Welcome [first name surname]"
• verify whether "HTML5 [tick]" or "HTML5 X" icon is displayed, which indicates whether the browser (version) does support HTML5 (HTML5 case) or does not (Flash case)
  

Issue vouchers, single and multiple recipients separated by colon / semicolon

For voucher uploads, ensure that: you are recognised as "Guest" for both uploads and downloads (even if you are logged on in another browser tab), and that "New Upload", "Voucher", "My Files" and "Log Off" buttons do *not* appear; use a recipient email addresses different from that of the authenticated voucher issuer and recipient(s), for testing bcc email to voucher issuer (bcc of each email is sent to voucher issuer in addition to voucher recipient and uploaded file recipients). Verify that voucher cannot be used a second time - message should appear "This voucher has already been used". Repeat one scenario when logged off, and again logged in as another user (i.e. other than the user who issued the voucher) to ensure that files appear in voucher issuer's "My Files" table.
