MuDoc UAT
Greetings to MuDoc UAT (User Acceptance Testing) participants:
Many thanks for your participation in the MuDoc UAT process!
Anyone can create a MuDoc account. However you cannot report bugs without a Bugzilla account. If you have already written me to become a tester, you should have received Bugzilla account information by email. If not please send me an email, and I'll have an account created for you.
Procedure
- Review the MuDoc system; I've created some online references: MuDoc help and MuDoc FAQ.
- Register to create a MuDoc username, password, and profile.
- Login and try it out. Refer to MuDoc help for guidance.
- Report bugs using Bugzilla (ignore the warnings about expired certificate]. For a succinct guide to logging bugs, see Bugzilla user notes.
Suggestions
- You'll want to create several different users, probably at least three (one to submit, another to review, a third to edit), in order to test all of MuDoc's features, since peer review is a multi-role protocol. Otherwise your submissions will depend on someone else for approvals. It's best to take on all roles at once in order to test autonomously.
- I suggest that you keep track of these users by naming them appropriately.
- You may also want to log exactly what has been submitted and reviewed. Keeping these logs online (so you can review them while testing) is a good idea.
- If your work is being held up by lack of approval from a superior editor, please email me out of band.
Reference
- The formal testing process is described in the UAT plan, which you should at least skim before starting.
- An overview of MuDoc functionality is available in the MuDoc system description.
- MuDoc help provides detailed explanations of the user interface.
- MuDoc FAQ may also be useful (and feel free to add questions of your own here)
- Please refer to the MuDoc Functional Spec as a standard reference for what the system is supposed to do.
You can also email me with other questions.
