Manual Testing

Many of the functions in groups.js and group-details.js directly manipulate the HTML DOM, and due to the constraints of Jasmine not being able to check for modified DOM elements when running the groups script functions from the tests scripts, I manually tested my UI input fields, buttons, etc.

Main groups page sidebar

searchGroupName

Search bar on the main groups page sidebar for searching groups by name

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Press keyboard "enter" key to search	getAllGroups is called with query=name returning new groups matching search query, search input field contains name	- [x] Y
Click the blue search icon button to search	Same result as above	- [x] Y
Select a user from the dropdown and with the search query	getAllGroups is called with query=memberKey returning new groups with that user, search input field is empty and user-sel dropdown contains memberKey	- [x] Y
Click the X button to clear search results	getAllGroups is called without a query parameter returning original groups, search input field is empty	- [x] Y

selectUser

Select dropdown input on the main groups page sidebar for filtering groups by memberKey, the user email address, to return all groups containing that member

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Select a user from the dropdown	getAllGroups is called with query=memberKey returning new groups with that user, user-sel dropdown contains memberKey	- [x] Y
Search by group name and with a user selected	getAllGroups is called with query=name returning new groups matching search query, user-sel input shows "Select User..." and search input field contains name	- [x] Y
Select default "Select User..." from the dropdown	getAllGroups is called without a query parameter returning original groups, user-sel input field shows "Select User..."	- [x] Y

selectOrderBy, selectViewGroups

Select dropdown input on the main groups sidebar for filtering groups in order of order_by and only displaying view_total groups at once

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Select "Email" from the order by dropdown	getAllGroups is called with orderBy=email returning new groups ordered by email alphabetically, order-by-sel dropdown shows "Email"	- [x] Y
Select any number from the view # of groups dropdown	getAllGroups is called with maxResults=view_total returning given number of groups, view-total-sel dropdown contains view_total	- [x] Y

checkParentGroups, checkFlattenGroups

Checkboxes on the main groups page sidebar for toggling the display of nested groups. By default, showOnlyParentGroups is true and flattenGroups is false.

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Check show parent groups	There are no repeating groups unless the group is a descendant of two or more parent groups	- [x] Y
Check show parent groups, check flatten groups	There are no repeating groups unless the group is a descendant of two or more parent groups, but only the direct members of each group are shown (depth <= 2)	- [x] Y
Check flatten groups	All groups in a domain are shown, but only the direct members of each group are shown (depth <= 2 )	- [x] Y
Check neither	All groups in a domain are shown, with all of their members	- [x] Y

clearFilters

Button on the main groups page sidebar to clear or reset all the searches and filters applied to the display

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Click the "Reset all" button	getAllGroups is called with default parameters returning groups in a domain where there are no repeating groups unless the group is a descendant of two or more parent groups, search input field is empty, user-sel input field shows "Select User...", order-by-sel dropdown shows "Select category...", and view-total-sel dropdown shows 200, showOnlyParentGroups is true and flattenGroups is false	- [x] Y

Group details page sidebar

selectAccessType

Under the settings section of the group details page sidebar, the user can select a specific access type using the radio buttons to modify the access and membership settings for one group. There are 5 different access types: public, team, announcement only, restricted, and custom.

Test case	Expected Result	Observed Result (Y/N)
Select public access type	Access and membership settings checkbox table is changed, anyone in the organization can join, and disallow members outside your organization	- [x] Y
Select team access type	Access and membership settings checkbox table is changed, anyone in the organization can ask, and disallow members outside your organization	- [x] Y

Unit Testing

You can find the Jasmine unit testing scripts for groups in test-groups.js and test-group-details.js in the src/test/javascript directory.
