2) Testathon help

  • Discovery changes - will be the default interface - regardless of using JSP or XML (, although changes aren't identical - there are common feature enhancements - which will be documented)
  • new version of OAI - should be backward compatablecomptable
• what features would be most helpful for DCAT to review?
  
  • Discovery - exercising all functions, try a bunch of searches or different passes through the interface - try to find specific content, exercising facets, noting any errors or behavior
  • documentation
    
    • check for completion, accuracy, - make note on JIRA ticket for that feature - or ask Tim Donohue for access to improve docs - flag problems
  • stats enhancements - (what is admin access on demo?)
  • "new features" and "improvements" on 3.0 Release Notes page
• how to / logistics
  
  • will start tomorrow or Thurs and run through Fri Oct 19
  • email out to the community, including instructions, links and demo DSpace account login and password 
  • backend changes can't be tested unless you download a test version yourself
  • if a new feature is confusing / don't understand it from the interface or documentation - then provide that feedback - ideally in the original JIRA issue or send an email to dspace-release@lists.sourceforge.net (Jim validated that this is what he usually does)
  • run through your (your team's) common tasks - make sure everything works as expected
  • Potentially getting general computer scientists involved from your institution (Amy says there is some discussion/intention about this at the University of Missouri)
