Universal Logging System

This is the test suite for version 1.8.0 of ULS.

The stage environment is used for all tests.

A number of administrative tasks and entries must be done to set up the necessary settings for all tests. This is also a test of the ULS administration itself.

A number of well-defined basic values containing all supported datatypes are sent to the ULS and the correct transmission and presentation is checked thru a manual basic analysis.

boundary tests are made to verify the correct processing of e.g. very small and very large values.

The general tests are based on values derived from the current number of seconds

• of the current hour
• of the current day and
• of the current week (since 00:00 of last monday)

These values are specifically converted and calculated to cover the most common scenarios. In combination with threshold definitions they are used to test the firing of notifications for threshold violations The notifications will contain replaced static and dynamically calculated embedded placeholders in their message bodies.

These values will also be used for the check of the aggregation of values.

Reports are used to check the different expected results and to check the report functionality itself.

• do the necessary Preparations

These are the different sections where test cases are set up:

• administrative settings and tests in Administrative Settings
• basic values, one execution in Basic Values
• continuous values generation in Continuous Values
• special values generation in Special Values
• aggregations in Compressions & Aggregations
• notifications in Notifications
• deletion of values after elapsed Retention Time Settings for Values
