Angela on Sakai: August 4

My first two weeks as a Sakai QA Analyst have come and gone. I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the systems in place, and I learned a lot - it was exciting and didn't seem like work (the best kind of work to have). I'm using this blog to chronicle my activities. On average, I'll post every two weeks, but if something big comes up, you may hear from me as it happens :-)

Following is a brief summary of my work for the period August 4-17, 2008:

Review and Familiarization

Test and Standard conditions
Automation
Release Workgroup
Assignments Project
Installation of Sakai 2.5.0 and 2.5.2 (demo versions)
JIRA
Nabble and Sakai QA lists

Testing and Verification

SAK-12842 Forms issue (OSP QA 1 server)
Sakai 2.5.3 Maintenance Release (SVN trunk on HSQLDB)
Sakai 2.5.2 (installed and tested demo version on my computer)

Documentation - Assignments Tool

Researched tasks of interest in connection with the Assignments Tool
Created MS Word and PPT 2007 drafts - how to create, view and publish a basic assignment
Posted VERY preliminary drafts on Wiki - see http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/QA/Angela%27s+Space

This first post is rather stodgy - as time goes on I will inject more narrative into the continuing saga of Angela on Sakai.

Best...
