Manual UI checks

Set up the test environment

• [x] Deploy the latest candidate to the SciApps demo site
• [x] Reset the indices and reload the data.

General checks

• [ ] Landing page functionality
  • [x] Correct Version # (visible in the footer of the page)
  • [x] "About Us" page lists expected number of collections (413) and granules (51). These numbers are reflective of the test data from Ansible (clean CU deployment with empty ElasticSearch); otherwise, they will likely be different values.
  • [x] Links in the header menu and footer work
• [ ] Verify CSS changes work across browsers
  • [x] IE 11
  • [ ] on AdminLan
  • [x] on Windows
  • note for css on IE (VirtualBox): You may have to manually clear the IE cache.
  • [x] Firefox latest
  • [x] on Mac
  • [ ] on AdminLan
  • [x] Chrome Latest
  • [x] on Mac
  • [ ] on AdminLan
  • [x] Safari
  • [x] Opera
  • [x] Confirm supported browser docs: Supported Browsers
• [x] Use chrome devtools mobile view to check how it looks on mobile devices and custom dimensions.
  • rotate to landscape views
• [ ] General page responsiveness (adjust window size between large and small)
  • [x] Does landing page adjust gracefully?
  • [x] Do header and footer elements maintain a reasonable placement in the page layout?
  • [x] If all keyword categories are expanded on search page, do they stay visible (push footer down without clipping)?
  • [x] Do result cards respond to page adjustments (proper flex behaviors)?
  • [ ] Does an open collection detail view realign elements cleanly on each tab?

Search Verification

Keywords

• [x] From landing page, click 'Weather' in Search By Topic. Results count is 53. Confirm clicking Show More Results button loads 20 additional results, after 2 clicks button disappears and section header states 'Search Results (showing 53 of 53)'
• [x] All cards show thumbnail images or black overlay in event image is slow to load/not available (external service; either of these are okay)
• [x] Keywords Data Theme shows:
  • Agriculture (1)
  • Atmosphere (15)
  • Biological Classification (1)
  • Biosphere (1)
  • Climate Indicators (1)
  • Cryosphere (1)
  • Oceans (51)
  • Spectral/Engineering (1)
• [ ] Confirm keyword labels are rendered and functioning accurately:
  • Drill down through Data Theme, verifying labels match 'Atmosphere' > 'Atmospheric Winds' > 'Surface Winds' > 'U/V Wind Components'.
  • Select keyword above. Tag above collection cards reads 'U/V Wind Components'.
  • Open collection card. Verify tag appears as 'U/V Wind Components' in 'Themes' section.
  • Back to Keywords, confirm 'Anemometers' and 'MOCNESS Plankton Net' under 'Instruments' category have correct capitalization.
  • Select both in facet menu. Confirm string format is consistent in tags.
  • Open collection card and confirm format again under 'Instruments' category.
  • Look for last search request in browser dev tools. Confirm request payload is: {"queries":[{"type":"queryText","value":"weather"}],"filters":[{"type":"facet","name":"science","values":["Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds > U/V Wind Components"]},{"type":"facet","name":"instruments","values":["ANEMOMETERS","MOCNESS > MOCNESS Plankton Net"]}],"facets":true,"page":{"max":20,"offset":0}}

Time Filter (Temporal)

• [x] Overlapping Allowed
  • Start with a fresh search by selecting 'Fisheries' topic on Landing Page -- 2 results returned
  • In time filter, set start to any day in 2010 and apply -- now 1 result, 'Tutuila, American Samoa [...]' (AKA Return data covering anytime after {day}, 2010)
  • Clear time filter (X button) and initiate new search again -- back to 2 results
  • Apply new time filter by selecting end to any day in 1990 and apply -- 1 result, 'Tutuila, American Samoa [...]' (AKA Return data covering anytime before {day}, 1990)
• [ ] Overlapping Restricted
  • TBD
• [ ] Paleo Dates
  • TBD

Location Filter (Spatial)

• [x] Rendering across dateline
  • Search "southern alaska coastal relief" -- 1 result returned.
  • Inside collection summary tab, bounding coordinates read: 'Bounding box covering 170°, 48.5°, -130°, 66.5° (W, N, E, S).'
  • Map image shows enclosed area of Alaska.
• [x] Rendering across prime meridian
  • Search mediterranean -- 17 results returned.
  • Open GHRSST ODYSSEA collection (should be second result). Bounding coordinates read: 'Bounding box covering -18.5°, 30°, 36.5°, 46.5° (W, N, E, S).'
  • Map image shows enclosed area of Mediterranean region in Europe.
• [x] Searching by geometry
  • Search water -- 393 results returned.
  • Using map filter, draw a bounding box over the Mediterranean region and initiate new search -- 64 results returned.
  • Apply 'Exclude Global' filter -- TBD results returned (need to reinstate this filter in the coming Spatial filter section)
