2.2.0 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.

If you have submitted a QA report already for a 2.2.0 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 release-specific changes as well as changes since the previous release candidate.

If you are testing the upgrade scenario, you should create source and journalist accounts before performing the upgrade, and delete at least one journalist account - some test cases cover changes to the behaviour for journalist account deletion.

Environment

  • Install target:
  • Tails version:
  • Test Scenario:
  • SSH over Tor:
  • Release candidate:
  • General notes:

Basic Server Testing

  • After installing the testinfra dependencies, all tests in ./securedrop-admin verify are passing:
    • Install dependencies on Admin Workstation with cd ~/Persistent/securedrop && ./securedrop-admin setup -t
    • Run tests with ./securedrop-admin verify (this will take a while)
    • Remove test dependencies: rm -rf admin/.venv3/ && ./securedrop-admin setup
  • QA Matrix checks pass

Command Line User Generation

  • Can successfully add admin user and login

Administration

  • I have backed up and successfully restored the app server following the backup documentation
  • If doing upgrade testing, make a backup on 2.1.0 and restore this backup on this release candidate
  • "Send Test OSSEC Alert" button in the journalist triggers an OSSEC alert and an email is sent

2.2.0 release-specific changes

Web application

  • #6225 Use special "deleted" journalist for associations with deleted users

    • If testing an upgrade scenario:

      • before performing the upgrade, create 2 JI users, (admin1 and admin2, say)
      • on the SI, create a new source with at least one file submission and one message submission
      • log on to the JI as admin1, download the submissions and reply to the source
      • verify that the seen_replies, seen_files, and seen_messages table records admin1's ID
      • log out of the JI, log back in as admin2, and delete admin1
      • verify that the seen_replies, seen_files, and seen_messages table records that referenced admin1's id now have null values for the journalist id.
      • Perform the upgrade to the 2.2.0 release candidate
      • verify that a deleted user was created in the journalists table
      • verify that the entries in the seen_* tables referencing null journalist IDs now reference deleted's ID
      • verify that the Journalist API /replies/<reply id endpoint for the reply lists the deleteds user's UUID

    • If testing an install scenario:

      • create JI 2 admin users (admin1 and admin2, say)
      • verify that only those 2 users exist in the journalists table
      • on the SI, create a new source with at least one file submission and one message submission
      • log on to the JI as admin1, download the submissions and reply to the source
      • verify that the seen_replies, seen_files, and seen_messages table records admin1's ID
      • log out of the JI, log back in as admin2, and delete admin1
      • verify that a deleted user was created in the journalists table, and admin1 is no longer present
      • verify that the entries in the seen_* tables referencing admin1's ID now reference deleted's ID
      • verify that the Journalist API /replies/<reply id endpoint for the reply lists the deleteds user's UUID

  • #6222 Enforce 160-bit HOTP secret length and verify OTP secret length on login.

    • If testing an upgrade scenario (existing 80-bits):
      • steps here
    • If testing an install scenario (all 160-bit):
      • steps here

  • #6195 Remove "Refresh codename" feature

    • Verify that the codename refresh button is no longer displayed on /generate
    • Verify that reloading the page generates a new codename, and that that new codename is displayed in the codename reminder after clicking through to /lookup

  • #6130 Display codename reminder only on first login

    • Create a new sourc on the SI, submit a file, and verify that the codename reminder is displayed
    • Log out, then log in again as the same source. Verify that the codename reminder is not displayed.
    • Submit a new message as the source, and verify that the codename remonder is not displayed when the page reloads.
