2.1.0 Test Plan

2.1.0 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 2.1.0 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.

In order to test #5988 you will need to enable HTTPS on the source interface. To do so using self-signed certs:

• Use the command cd ~/Persistent/securedrop && make self-signed-https-certs on the Admin Workstation to generate the necessary files
• Choose the appropriate options while running ./securedrop-admin sdconfig
• Accept the self-signed cert when prompted with the HTTPS warning in Tor Browser.

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
