Task 1 - Role Groups

Quality Assurance Strategy for Role Groups

1. Types of Testing and Their Application

1.1 Functional Testing

• Verify that Role Groups can be created, modified, and deleted.

• Ensure that assigned users inherit permissions correctly.

• Validate that permission changes reflect dynamically across assigned users.

1.2 UI/UX Testing

• Check that Role Group UI elements are correctly displayed and function as expected.

• Ensure the Role Group selection, modification, and saving process is intuitive.

1.3 API Testing

• Validate API endpoints for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting Role Groups.

• Ensure correct status codes and error handling for unauthorized access.

1.4 Security Testing

• Ensure that only authorized users can create or edit Role Groups.

• Test if unauthorized users can manipulate Role Groups.

1.5 Regression Testing

• Ensure that the introduction of Role Groups does not break existing permission systems.

• Run previous permission-related tests to verify backward compatibility

• Check that users who were not assigned to any Role Group still function correctly.

1.6 Integration Testing

• Verify Role Groups work with other user management features.

• Check the impact of Role Groups on document permissions and access control.

1.7 Performance Testing

• Test system behavior with a large number of Role Groups and users.

• Measure response time for role changes in high-load environments.

1.8 Usability Testing

• Conduct user feedback sessions to evaluate the ease of assigning and modifying Role Groups.

• Identify UI elements that may cause confusion.

1.9 Exploratory Testing

• Attempt edge cases, such as assigning users to multiple conflicting Role Groups.

• Test unexpected behaviors in permission settings.

1.10 Automated Testing

• Implement UI and API automation to ensure Role Groups function correctly.

• Develop test scripts for CRUD operations and user permissions validation.
  

2. Example Test Cases

2.1 Functional Testing

Test Case 1: Verify Role Group Creation

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Role Group creation page.

2. Enter a valid Role Group name and description.

3. Assign permissions and save.

Expected Result:

Role Group should be created and appear in the Role Groups listTest Case: Validate Role Group Permission Inheritance

Test Case 2: Validate Role Group Permission Inheritance

Steps:

1. Assign a user to a Role Group with specific permissions.

2. Log in as the user and attempt an action that requires the assigned permission.

Expected Result:

The user should be able to perform the action successfully.

Test Case 3: Verify Role Group Deletion

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Role Groups list.

2. Select an existing Role Group.

3. Click on the delete option and confirm the deletion.

Expected Result:

The Role Group should be deleted, and assigned users should no longer inherit its permissions.

2.2 UI/UX Testing

Test Case 1: Verify Role Group UI Elements

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Role Groups page.

2. Check if UI elements such as input fields, buttons, and dropdowns are visible.

Expected Result:

All UI components should be properly displayed and functional.

Test Case 2: Validate Role Group Editor Accessibility

Steps:

1. Open the Role Group Editor.

2. Ensure that it is accessible via keyboard navigation and screen readers.

Expected Result:

The editor should be usable with accessibility tools.

Test Case 3: Verify Role Group Form Validation

Steps:

1. Attempt to create a Role Group with an empty name field.

2. Attempt to create a Role Group with a duplicate name.

Expected Result:

Proper validation messages should be displayed, preventing invalid submissions.

2.3 API Testing

Test Case 1: Validate Role Group API Response

Steps:

1. Send a POST request to create a Role Group with valid data.

2. Validate the response code and body structure.

Expected Result:

API should return a 201 status code with Role Group details in the response.

Test Case 2: Test Unauthorized API Access

Steps:

1. Attempt to create a Role Group using an unauthorized API request.

Expected Result:

API should return a 403 Forbidden status code.

Test Case 3: Validate API Error Handling for Invalid Input

Steps:

1. Send a POST request with missing required fields.

Expected Result:

API should return a 400 Bad Request response with an appropriate error message.

2.4 Security Testing

Test Case: Unauthorized User Access

Steps:

1. Log in as a user without Role Group management permissions.

2. Attempt to create or modify a Role Group.

Expected Result:

Action should be denied, and an appropriate error message should be displayed.

2.5 Regression Testing

Test Case: Validate Existing User Role Functionality

Steps:

1. Log in as a user with a predefined set of permissions.

2. Perform actions available to the user before Role Groups were introduced.

Expected Result:

All existing permissions should function as expected.

2.6 Integration Testing

Test Case: Role Groups and Document Permissions

Steps:

1. Assign a user to a Role Group with document editing rights.

2. Attempt to edit a document.

Expected Result:

The user should be able to edit the document as per their assigned Role Group.

2.7 Performance Testing

Test Case: System Behavior with Large Role Groups

Steps:

1. Create a Role Group and assign it to 1,000+ users.

2. Measure system response time when updating permissions.

Expected Result:

The system should not lag, and updates should reflect within acceptable time limits.

2.8 Usability Testing

Test Case: User Feedback on Role Group Usability

Steps:

1. Have users perform Role Group-related tasks.

2. Collect feedback on ease of use and potential issues.

Expected Result:

Users should find the feature intuitive and easy to use.

2.9 Exploratory Testing

Test Case: Assigning a User to Conflicting Role Groups

Steps:

1. Assign a user to two Role Groups with conflicting permissions.

2. Check how the system resolves the conflict.

Expected Result:

The system should follow a predefined conflict resolution strategy.

2.10 Automated Testing

Test Case: Automate Role Group CRUD Operations

Steps:

1. Use Playwright or Selenium to automate Role Group creation, modification, and deletion.

2. Validate UI changes dynamically.

Expected Result:

Automated tests should pass, confirming functionality is intact.

3. Additional Quality Measures

3.1 Code Reviews

Conduct peer reviews for Role Groups implementation to catch potential issues early.

3.2 Continuous Integration & Deployment (CI/CD)

Automate test execution in CI/CD pipelines to ensure frequent validation of Role Groups.

3.3 Logging and Monitoring

Implement logging for Role Group modifications to track changes and troubleshoot issues.

3.4 User Training and Documentation

Provide training materials for administrators on how to use Role Groups effectively.

3.5 Real-World Scenario Testing

Simulate actual user environments and behaviors to validate system performance.

Conclusion

By implementing a combination of functional, security, integration, regression, and usability testing, along with automated and exploratory tests, we can ensure the Role Groups feature works as expected. Additional measures like code reviews, logging, and CI/CD integration further enhance quality and maintainability.
