• 1U test servers

1.6.0 QA Checklist

For both upgrades and fresh installs, here is a list of functionality that requires testing. You can use this for copy/pasting into your QA report. Feel free to edit this message to update the plan as appropriate.

If you have submitted a QA report already for a 1.6.0 release candidate with successful basic server testing and application acceptance testing sections, then you can skip these sections in subsequent reports, unless otherwise indicated by the Release Manager. This is to ensure that you focus your QA effort on the 1.6.0-specific changes as well as changes since the previous release candidate.

Application Acceptance Testing

Source Interface

Landing page base cases

• JS warning bar does not appear when using Security Slider high
• JS warning bar does appear when using Security Slider Low

First submission base cases

• On generate page, refreshing codename produces a new 7-word codename
• On submit page, empty submissions produce flashed message
• On submit page, short message submitted successfully
• On submit page, file greater than 500 MB produces "The connection was reset" in Tor Browser quickly before the entire file is uploaded
• On submit page, file less than 500 MB submitted successfully

Returning source base cases

• Nonexistent codename cannot log in
• Empty codename cannot log in
• Legitimate codename can log in
• Returning user can view journalist replies - need to log into journalist interface to test

Journalist Interface

Login base cases

• Can log in with 2FA tokens
• incorrect password cannot log in
• invalid 2fa token cannot log in
• 2fa immediate reuse cannot log in
• Journalist account with HOTP can log in

Index base cases

• Filter by codename works
• Starring and unstarring works
• Click select all selects all submissions
• Selecting all and clicking "Download" works

Individual source page

• You can submit a reply and a flashed message and new row appears
• You cannot submit an empty reply
• Clicking "Delete Source And Submissions" and the source and docs are deleted
• You can click on a document and successfully decrypt using application private key

Basic Tails Testing

Updater GUI

After updating to this release candidate and running securedrop-admin tailsconfig

• The Updater GUI appears on boot
• Updating occurs without issue

1.6.0 release-specific changes

• venv is correctly populated with wheels (#5484)
• I did not encounter the “Timed out waiting for last boot time check (#5401)
• /users endpoint works as expected and does not include is_admin (#5506)
• seen/unseen (bolded) behavior in the JI works as expected (downloaded/not downloaded) (#5505)
• Hit this JI API endpoint /sources/<source_uuid>/submissions/<submission_uuid>/download and observe the status now seen for the submission in the JI (curl commands in https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/5506 are helpful for testing this) (#5505)
• tor --version is 0.4.4.5
• ls -alR /opt/venvs/securedrop-app-code/lib/python3.5/site-packages/psutil should not contain .pyc files (#5487)
• Show password is internationalized on the Journalist Interface (#5483)
• Submit a file as a source. Send two replies as a journalist. SSH into the app server, delete a single reply in /var/lib/securedrop/store and ensure this same source can return to the source interface (/lookup) page and see one reply. The logs should also contain an error indicating that the reply file is missing.
• testinfra tests are passing (#5318) (note: also moved this in the basic server testing section for posterity)

Upgrade testing only:

• venv is correctly populated with correct wheels (and old wheels are gone) (#5484)
• The QA playbook for testing works (#5472)
• Database migrations are applied properly with an instance with data, see PR(#5505) for more testing detail)

Preflight

• Ensure the builder image is up-to-date on release day

These tests should be performed the day of release prior to live debian packages on apt.freedom.press

Basic testing

• Install or upgrade occurs without error
• Source interface is available and version string indicates it is 1.6.0
• A message can be successfully submitted

Tails

• The updater GUI appears on boot
• The update successfully occurs to 1.6.0
• After reboot, updater GUI no longer appears
