- Testathon Feedback
- Were you able to participate in testing?
- Participants: Peter Sutton-Long, Holger Lenz, Emilio Lorenzo, Pierre Lasou

- How was your experience? / How could we improve the testathon in the future?
- Peter Sutton-Long
- Test plan was extensive
- Everyone sharing the same spreadsheet may not have been as useful because it was hard to determine which parts of the test plan had already been tested. Would prefer a way to ensure that everything was adequately tested
- Problems with entity submission forms (missing??) in test instance - needed to use docker
- More guidance on how to report bugs
- Would have liked a mechanism for immediate feedback on process
- Could not have done it without Tim Donohue's help
- Difficulties with installing Docker
- Holger Lenz (non-technical user)
- Also could not have done testing without Tim's help (difficulties with installing Docker)
- Some steps missing in Docker installation documentation
- Also could not have done testing without Tim's help (difficulties with installing Docker)
- Emilio Lorenzo
- Hard to test elements: ORCID integration, notification protocol
- Concerned that additional layers of complexity have been added in recent upgrades - harder for smaller/less resourced institutions to implement (# of installation questions in google groups has increased)
- Pierre Lasou
- Enjoyed the testathon experience (Kimberley's daily meetings created a sense of community), but can be improved for future
- Future testathons needs to be better structured
- Spreadsheet concerns - worried about erasing data (updates wrote over someone else's data)
- Notes that Tim Donohue asked developers to do new tests for features (ORCID, notify features, etc) after testathon
- Additional tests were done quickly, not extensively
- One of the vendors/developers for one of the additional features also tested - should be another person as coders should not also test
- Many bugs found - insufficient time to address. Unsure whether DSpace 8 can be delivered on time
- Trouble with installing Docker
- Tried to improve documentation
