  • Each feature or piece of functionality that team Vega completes should have at least one user acceptance testing (UAT) session

  • UAT is needed for functional feature work in single tenant and ECS environments, both standard ECS and ECS + mod-tlr

  • UAT should occur as soon as possible to enable the identification of bugs and issues as early as possible

  • The UAT environment should have instance, holdings, and item records in both the Central/Consortium tenant, and at least one Data/College/University tenant

  • Both types of environments need:

    • to be snapshot-like, but with persistent data

    • to include all circulation modules (Check in, Check out, Circulation log, Requests, fees and fines, patron notices, loans, etc.), plus Inventory, Users, and Settings

    • to have applicable permissions for the above and specific to the features being tested

    • to be accessible to community testers and members

    • an appropriate data set and configuration for the feature/case being tested

      • for example, multiple (25-30) instance, holding and item records with valid barcodes

      • multiple patron records

  • Circulation settings should be set for each environment before UAT begins. Testers should not have to spend time setting up policies, notices, et.

Ramsons features UAT

Plan as of August 5, 2024

Features to be tested as they are completed:

  1. UXPROD-4559 ECS with mod-tlr

  1. UXPROD-4657 Mediated requests

  1. UXPROD-4119 Private requests

  1. UXPROD-4831 Allow printing slips for Requests (Holds) TLR

Steph, Anne, & Vega are working to create a rancher environment that will be used by LC and the community to test the Ramsons fulfillment features, as listed above. Vega will manage the environment and keep the code up to date for all testing. People testing will be provided with a link to the environment and credentials. They will be provided a video demonstrating the functionality they are being asked to test. There will be several UATs to complete for the Ramsons features notes above. UAT information and instructions will be provided on a community wiki page in the Resource Access space. A Microsoft Form will be used to collect feedback. Our goal is for each UAT to take ~10 minutes or less to complete.

By the end of August 2024, we plan to have the environment and at least one UAT ready to begin testing UXPROD-4559. At the moment, we will be testing one feature at a time, as work is completed and made available. A formal schedule has not yet been set. It will be shared with Grace/LC and internal EBSCO folks as soon as it is ready.

Note: You can see how this will look by viewing a UAT completed by Amelia Sutton (community PO for Volaris) for Profile Pictures Part 2 here: Ramsons UAT - Profile Pictures Part 2
