Understanding

Use cases to be tested are formulated as playbooks containing Gherkin features on SMW pages

Here are the playbooks and use cases that are currently formulated on SMWCindyKate:

Cucumber Playbook "BlueSpice: Tests: Workflow"
Cucumber Playbook "BlueSpice: Tests: Extended Search"
Cucumber Playbook "BlueSpice: Tests: Namespace configuration"

Type "Test Script/Use Case/Manual/Action"

Use Case "BlueSpice: Workflow for reviewing a page draft and accept it as a flagged revision"
Use Case "BlueSpice: Add workflow"
Use Case "Check (my) page assignments"
... further results

Each use case specifies two types of scenarios:

a detailed scenario (tagged by @detail) splitting the use case into individual steps in such a way, that the scenario can serve as end user documentation.
a main scenario (tagged by @main) conflating the detail steps into a single main step which shall make it easier to include the use case within other use cases.

The server hosting the SMW to be tested is provisioned with a testing environment

See https://github.com/dataspects/Set-Up-BlueSpice-MediaWiki-Enterprise-Distribution/tree/master/roles/testing_environment

The workstation controlling the testing is provisioned with SMW-Browser-Testing

A profile.yml file is created managing the interaction with target servers/SWMs. Here's a sample:

---

<your_label>:
  mwscriptpath: http://localhost/w/
  mwscriptpathtopage: http://localhost/w/index.php?title=
  mwarticlepath: http://localhost/wiki/
  standard_username: sherman
  standard_password: 
  playbooks_smwurl: http://172.16.0.3/main
  playbooks_smwapi: http://172.16.0.3/m/api.php
  gherkin_section_name: Feature

The playbooks are then run like this:

PROFILE=fds PLAYBOOKS='Component 291015' TAGS='--tags @main' ./run.sh

Testing environment/system setup aspects

For the sake of developing tests and not interacting with a target production SMW but rather a recent clone of it, it makes sense to run the entire testing system in a virtualized environment.

Hence, here are some use cases involved with using VirtualBox for this purpose.
