QA Guidance

1. All Content Viewers

What to test: Every content type renderer (HTML5, H5P, BloomPUB, video, audio, PDF, ePub, Perseus, slideshow, QTI)

What to look for: JavaScript errors, broken interactions, content failing to load, performance differences

Why: Webpack bundling changes re-enabled Terser mangling and changed how core-js polyfills are loaded in the sandbox. These affect all compiled JavaScript.

• 6a4c0c4 - Webpack bundle size optimizations (mangling re-enabled)
• de9ac92 - Fix core-js duplication in viewer bundles
• 54eb476 - H5P JavaScript library update

2. Application Startup & Navigation

What to test: Initial page load, navigation menu population

What to look for: Delayed or missing navigation items, flash of untranslated content, race conditions on slow connections

Why: i18n setup is now async with lazy-loaded locale data. Navigation component registration is deferred until i18n completes. This changes the timing of when the app becomes fully interactive.

• 2eb1fba - Lazy load all intl and vue-intl locale files, defer nav component registration

3. Internationalization Across the App

What to test: Non-English languages, RTL languages, language switching

What to look for: Missing translations, layout breaks in RTL, errors when switching languages

Why: The entire i18n initialization flow was refactored from synchronous to asynchronous. Any code that assumed translations were immediately available could break.

• 2eb1fba - Lazy load all intl and vue-intl locale files

4. Channel Import

What to test: Import channels from various sources

What to look for: Import failures, missing metadata post-import

Why: Channel import now includes modality annotation step. The annotation uses options__contains JSON string matching.

• 3458d8f - Annotate modality field on upgrade and channel import flows

v0.19.0

High level overview

Release 0.19.0 updates user management capabilities to make it easier for administrators to manage user accounts. The changes reduce the number of repetitive tasks required for class enrollment and unenrollment of learners, and general account management. This makes both setting up new programs and and year-over-year user management simpler and more efficient.

Added

New Feature: User Management

Administrators can now perform actions on multiple users at once, reducing the time needed to manage users at scale. Key workflows include:

• Bulk user selection and actions: Allows admins to select multiple users and apply actions to all of them at once, including enrollment, removal from classes, and deletion
• Copy classes: Admins can now copy classes of learners and coaches
• Learner-only device management: Allow admins to remove learner-only devices users from a device and import them outside of the setup wizard workflow
• Improved user creation workflow Admins can now enroll a user in one or more classes during user account creation

v0.19.0-beta2

QA List

🎉 At this point, we are ready to begin critical workflows and integration testing! 🎉

As we've done recent years, we'll be using our somewhat-consolidated testing matrix that includes critical workflows on each OS version, but full integration only once per browser as a whole for each OS.

As an example:

• critical workflows on Windows 7, 10 and 11.
• full integration once each on Firefox, Chrome and Edge

So, in other words, no need to do full integration on Firefox on Windows 7, Firefox on Windows 10, Firefox on Windows 11, and then repeat on Chrome and Edge.

This allows us to confirm that our most essential tasks work on all of our supported OS versions, but not spend too much time worrying about browser-specific bug, which tend to be frontend bugs in the browser itself, not in Kolibri, that we wouldn't be able to easily address.

• QTI Survey fixes by @rtibbles in #13791
• bump version by @marcellamaki in #13796

QA Guidance: Survey Fixes

• Create a NEW survey (since we also made changes in Studio, the existing version of the channel shared with the token will not have the necessary changes in it). The survey should have a free-response question (non-numeric).
• Import the survey in Kolibri. Learners should be able to enter free responses, and have their responses saved and viewable through the survey report.

Numeric input questions with multiple answers in a survey that also contains free response questions is not resolved in the scope of this patch release
