Hello Arpita,

This is the first email regarding feedback for the test cases you have
provided for the configuration project.  This email will focus on
feedback for the "Session timeout' functionality.  For reference, I have
checked in your test cases for this feature/functionality into
Subversion (source control) in the following location:

Mifos > Documents > QA > v1.1 QA Documents > v1.1 New Feature Test Cases
> Configuration

Here's a link to the location:

I have taken a look at the test case document you have provided.  The
first thing that is worth noting is that this particular piece of
configuration will not be configured in the properties file for v1.1.  

Unfortunately, the configuration that resided in the database was not
actually used in the code in v1.0.  This was a bug.  The session time
out value actually came from the web.xml file and it is this file that
needs to be modified to change the session timeout.  We decided not to
move the configuration in web.xml file into a config file in v1.1.  

Please see this thread for more information:

So, your test cases will need to be modified to take this into account.


Sorry that I didn't make you aware of this earlier.  I had forgotten and
I guess we never updated the spec on Mifos.org.  It seems we never
logged an item in the issue tracker to ensure that the functionality is
added to the configuration files in a future release either.  I will
ensure that both of these things happen.

The actual mechanism for configuring session timeout has not changed
between v1.0 and v1.1, however I suspect it was never tested in the
first place, so I think it still makes sense for you to test this fully
as part of the configuration project.

The other feedback I have is that we should probably cover what happens
when the user's session times out, they are redirected to the log-in
page, and then they log in again.  I don't think this behavior is
specifically spec'd out, however I believe the user should return to the
place they were when their session timed out.  We should test for this
specifically and log bugs where this does not happen.  

Finally, I am hoping that one of the developers (Adam Monsen, who worked
in this area a little bit? Someone else?) can also provide some
additional feedback from the developer perspective of areas you should
add/enhance to make sure we have proper test coverage of this feature.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the feedback above.
I will take a look at the test case document again once you've
incorporated the feedback to see if there's any other changes necessary
before you being testing this functionality.

Thanks,

Aliya
