Release v0.13.2 Checklist

[xoscar]

Testing Tracetest

This is the entire checklist on what we should do to assert that Tracetest is working fine on each version release. On each version release, we can copy the contents of this template checklist and open a Github Discussion to start each test.

On Tracetest, we work in two ways to test the entire system and guarantee that everything is working fine. One is through automatic tests, where we run unit, integration and end-to-end tests on Tracetest CLI, Web UI and Server.

Another source of tests is the manual tests that we execute on each release, simulating users, and checking if everything is ok on these tests.

Manual Tests

On our manual tests, we aim to do some sanity checks to see if the main features are working as expected. Usually, we run it on each Tracetest release.

Tests to validate on Release Candidate

• Test server installation via CLI

  • Docker Compose and no demo API
  • Docker Compose and demo API
