FPR customization permanency testing

Several FPR customizations were applied to an Archivematica 1.6.1 site, which was then upgraded to Archivematica qa/1.x to test the permanency of these changes. Completed on 15 September 2017.

Test 1: Rename formats

Illustrator format versions renamed with version number (this helps with format version identification on Rules tabs, too!).

• Expected result: All formats still renamed

• Actual result: All formats still renamed

Test outcome: PASS

Test 2: Assign preservation format marker

For all JPEG format versions, checked off the “Preservation format?” box.

• Expected result: All JPEGs still typed as preservation formats

• Actual result: All JPEGs still typed as preservation formats

Test outcome: PASS

Test 3: Assign different normalization rule

Assigned the “transcode to tif using convert” command to the format Better Portable Graphics, for the purpose of preservation.

• Expected result: BPGs still have the above rule

• Actual result: BPGs still have the above rule

Test outcome: PASS

Test 4: Disable normalization command

Disabled “Transcoding to mp3 with ffmpeg” normalization command.

• Expected result: Command still disabled

• Actual result: Command still disabled

Test outcome: PASS

Test 5: Reassign rule

Reassigned Broadcast WAVE 1 from the disabled “Transcoding to mp3 with ffmpeg” rule to “Transcoding to wav with ffmpeg” Also enabled format rule as it was disabled by Test 4.

• Actual result: Rule still set to transcode to wav and enabled

Test outcome: PASS

Test 6: Create new command and assign

Created a new command “my custom rule for testing” and assigned it to the format Scitex Continuous Tone Bitmap.

Test outcome: PASS

Future tests

• Add a new format
• Add a normalization rule to a format that doesn't currently have one, but will have one after the upgrade
