From mediawiki.org

Possible testing sessions

[edit]

Survey cross-browser compatibility

[edit]
  • Test the basic capability of an array of browsers
  • Do all browsers implement indexeddb in the same way?

Page sections and conflicts

[edit]

Content types

[edit]

Unintended logouts

[edit]
  • What forms of session exiting and expiring will clear the edit recovery data?
  • For example, clearing cookies, cookie expiry

Compatibility with other features

[edit]
  • What features, gadgets, extensions will this not play nicely with?

Dynamic forms

[edit]
  • Some wikis and extensions have different editing forms, do they work with edit recovery.
  • Examples of these include wikisource (pages in the Index and Page namespaces).
  • What about the Extension:Page_Forms extension?

Test ideas

[edit]
  • Upgrading browser? Migrating profiles?
  • Review unit coverage
  • Sections
  • Multiple pages
  • Cross browser and device
  • Types of edit?
  • Are edits restored accurately?
  • Unintended logouts (e.g. session timeout)
    • Does session expiry clear the data?
  • Corruption detection?
  • How clearly is it communicated to users? (esp. with conflicts)
  • Frequency
    • It appears to be 5 seconds after stop typing. Too long?
  • Compatibility
    • Other extensions, gadgets, RTP, etc.
    • Syntax highlighting
  • Different content types
  • What URL params might interfere?
  • What config variables might interfere?
  • What if a property is missing from the indexeddb object (e.g. minor edit)
  • Disaster recovery
  • ACID properties
    • Relaxed vs. strict durability ("How long does it take for a relaxed transaction to be written to non-volatile storage?")
  • Timing
    • Crash just as new data being stored
  • Dynamic forms (e.g. page forms extension, proofread page)?
  • Negative testing
    • No space left on device
    • Make the indexeddb sqlite database read-only
  • Cleared appropriately
    • What about unsuccessful saves?
    • Deliberately logging out does not clear
  • Different parent revisions
  • i18n
  • Stress
