Moodle Release Testing
Testkatalog for Updates/Releases: Kernfunktionen, Plugins, roles, SSO, courses and Performance.
Quick overview
This page describes the working standard for Moodle Release Testing – with a focus on concrete decisions rather than general guidance.
The main focus here is approval neuer plugins and upgrade-blocker through plugins so that teams apply the same standard.
The standard only becomes traceable through linked evidence such as plugin-liste / matrix and through documented edge cases/exceptions.
When this page helps
Typical situations in which this page adds value as a working document, and where another document is more appropriate.
Typical use cases
- when for Moodle Release Testing technical standards about eingesetzte plugins incl. version and zweck must be documented in a binding way
- when team handovers or temporary cover the same process for approval neuer plugins should be able to execute safely
- when incidents or Changes show that evidence such as plugin-liste / matrix are still missing
- when configuration or operational deviations (e.g. plugin becomes produktiv activeiert without staging-test) occur repeatedly
Less suitable when
- when Moodle Release Testing only about a one-off individual case without need for standardization applies
- when a detailed project ticket or a technical step-by-step guide is the better fit
Recommended process
A pragmatic sequence that works in practice, from scope to review.
- capture the current state and scope for Moodle Release Testing capture, including eingesetzte plugins incl. version and zweck and critical dependencies.
- define the target state and standards; key decisions include approval neuer plugins.
- test changes in a controlled way (Staging, Testsystem or Checklist) and Ergebnis document.
- implement in production, run follow-up checks, and plugin-liste / matrix + staging-testergebnisse link.
- Monitoring/Reviews auswerten and recurring Befunde such as „Plugin becomes produktiv activeiert without Staging-Test“ in the standard einarbeiten.
Decision rules
Moodle Release Testing is well documented, when rules, Edge cases and Evidence so clearly are, dass teams so that without additional coordination work can.
standard case

Edge cases
Allow exceptions only if they do not dilute the standard; especially relevant here are compatibility to the moodle-version.
Control point
Verifiable is the rule only, when plugin-liste / matrix and staging-testergebnisse cleanly verlinkt are.

- evidence is missing: Owner for a Plugin is missing.
- the exception gets out of control: Attribute change sich without abgestimmten Mapping-Update.

Documentation focus
- Testmatrix after Upgrade with rolesansichten, Kerncourseen and kritischen Plugins document.
- UI path, role and test case record explicitly (not only the desired target state).
- Mark deviations from AFANDI standards separatelyely so that updates remain easier to review.
