1.7.0 QA Checklist

For both upgrades and fresh installs, here is a list of functionality that requires testing. You can use this for copy/pasting into your QA report. Note that in order to test #5483, you should select multiple languages when running ./securedrop-admin sdconfig.

If you have submitted a QA report already for a 1.7.0 release candidate with successful basic server testing and application acceptance testing sections, then you can skip these sections in subsequent reports, unless otherwise indicated by the Release Manager. This is to ensure that you focus your QA effort on the 1.7.0-specific changes as well as changes since the previous release candidate.

Environment

  • Install target:
  • Tails version:
  • Test Scenario:
  • SSH over Tor:
  • Onion service version:

Basic Server Testing

  • I can access both the source and journalist interfaces
  • I can SSH into both machines over Tor

  • AppArmor is loaded on mon
    • 0 processes are running unconfined
  • Both servers are running grsec kernels
  • iptables rules loaded

  • OSSEC emails are decrypted to correct key and I am able to decrypt them
  • After installing the testinfra dependencies, all tests in ./securedrop-admin verify are passing:
    • Install dependencies on Admin Workstation with cd ~/Persistent/securedrop && ./securedrop-admin setup -t
    • Run tests with ./securedrop-admin verify (this will take a while)
    • Remove test dependencies: rm -rf admin/.venv3/ && ./securedrop-admin setup
  • QA Matrix checks pass

Command Line User Generation
