Internal testing draft plan below:
next step:
- dev+design to align on which server to conduct a test
- slimmed down version of file store on one of the non-production server
- description of test for each feature - with help from CJ + nalae - with more randomness to test
A list of HDX features for periodic test:
- HDX Connect a. (Login with your HDX org admin account) Upload a (temp) HDX connect dataset on production (label as test so our users wont confuse)
b. (Logout from your HDX admin account) Find the HDX Connect dataset you created and(if you're not logged in - it should ask you to login so login as HDX org 'member') request access from "Data" on main nav as well as from the (HDX Connect) dataset page. Make 2 requests (1 you will approve, 2 you will decline as a maintainer) in the request form, mention you're testing - as all HDX admins will receive this email.
c. Check your email associated with HDX admin and make sure you received the 2 requests.
d. Login again as a HDX admin + approve one of the requests (with attachment - use dummy xls or csv) and decline the other request
e. Check your email (one should be approved with attachment and the other should be declined)
f. Finally, delete the HDX connect dataset
+++ end of test +++
- Add data flow (A. with local file + B. remote resource + C. try adding external data viz)
- Edit data flow (A. overwrite old resource with new B. change resource from external URL <> local resource)
- Contact contributor/group message (either to everyone, all admin, all editors)
- New account registration + request to join + request a new organization
- Data Check (A. validate a local file + remote resource on Tools + B. validate a hxl-tagged resource on HDX)
- Quick Charts (A. test making quick charts on Tools + B. After testing 2(add data with hxlated data), turn on
- Make a dashboard/event page / Edit existing dashboard/event page
- Add/Change carousel item on homepage
- Add a new member from org page 'members' tab + login as admin to confirm the request&approve/decline the membership
- Send a question via "contact us" in FAQ page

Steps:
- HDX Connect (A. add metadata as data maintainer as well as B. request data as consumer) - include tracking of responded/not responded requests.
Volunteer testing draft plan below
Dear Volunteer,
HDX runs on the open-source CKAN platform, and we are upgrading our version from 2.3 to 2.63 and adding a new feature, requestable datasets. As of today, the new version is ready on the feature server.
We’d like your support in testing this upgraded version on the feature server. The main goal is to confirm that the new version behaves the same way as the old one, and to identify any issues or problems.
We’ve provided more detailed instructions on this document. Sample actions you can test are:
Creating and modifying user profiles
Creating and modifying organisations
Creating and modifying datasets, including all metadata and resources and particularly requestable datasets
Adding gallery items to datasets
Testing the Python Library
A full list of testing scenarios is below. Feel free to choose any of them.
**Be sure to test on the feature server, not on the actual HDX site. Please use this template to record any issue you experience.**
You will receive an invitation to a Slack channel for ease of coordination. If you're not comfortable using Slack, please email questions to me at becky@humdata.org.
Thanks for your support!
Best wishes,
Becky

Check each quicklink if it loads
Check the data on each quicklink page
HXL Preview
If the data uses the HXL standard, then HDX can automatically create customizable graphs and key figures to help you highlight the most important aspects of your dataset. This is called a "HXL Preview." For a HXL Preview to be generated, your dataset needs:
A CSV with HXL tags as the first resource. HXL is easy! Check out the 30-second tutorial. The CSV can be stored on HDX or as a remote resource at another URL.
To be tagged with "HXL" on the dataset page. This is not referring to the HXL tags inside the CSV, but rather the metadata tags that you set for the whole dataset. This is a flag to HDX to try and process the CSV as a HXL-ated dataset.
Upload a csv file that contains hxl tags and check if hxl preview appears.
Geo Preview
Upload a zipped shapefile or geojson and check if the geopreview is generated (hint: for shapefiles, the file type must be set to "zipped shapefile" instead of the default "zip" for geopreview to be triggered)
Python HDX Library [for Python programmers]
Test the HDX Ckan with the new site, trying as many different API calls and edge cases as you can think of.
HDX Homepage [desktop version]
Go to homepage
Check the search box in the top toolbar. When you start typing a word, do you see useful autocomplete suggestions?
Repeat the same test with the search box in the centre of the page.
Click on trending terms and check if the results appear reasonable
Check each item from the carousel and click on each item to see if it opens the appropriate page
Check page 2 of carousel
Click on each item from footer and see if it opens the appropriate page
HDX Homepage [mobile version]
Go to homepage
Check if page displays in a readable way on a smaller screen (phone or tablet)

Data nerds!
From the Map Explorer, click on “info” in any layer
Download the data and compare to what you see in the map explorer
Check that totals and values align with what is in the data
