OSF-UI-Tests

OSF user interface smoke tests with Selenium as the tool of choice.

Selenium test suites broken down into test specific areas i.e.:

• User account creation tests
• --or--
• Project dashboard tests

These test suites are composed of individual tests i.e.:

• Try to create a user without a password
• --or--
• Try to create a user with a short password

Guidelines for adding tests

• Factor common functions into util.py
• Put database info (user names, project titles) in config.py
• Make sure that all database entries created during tests are cleared during teardown

Issues:

• Testing file submission with Selenium. Currently using blueimp. See page for issue: blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload#1228 Possible workrounds include: use requests to submit post request or via javascipt.

Next steps:

• Finish file upload/deletion testing.
• Create registration tests
• Create add/delete contributer tests
• Move testing to Sauce Labs

Notes: If issues arise during tests, look at the following suites first.

• user_creations_tests
• project_creation_tests
• utils -- relies heavily on the aforementioned test suites.
