Sandbox Environment

Description

The sandbox environment of the ARIA-AT App serves as the development environment. This environment has no SLA for uptime. The primary purpose is to provide a venue for the Bocoup team to display features for review to stakeholders.

This environment should not be used for running any tests where the results are expected to be saved.

Location

https://aria-at-app-sandbox.bocoup.com/

Access

Since access to sandbox is governed by a specific Github group there is an alternative method for accessing the sandbox as either a tester or an admin. Anyone accessing the sandbox environment will need a GitHub account. The functionality of the role selected will be for the duration of your session.

For Tester Access

  1. Add ?fakeRole=tester to the end of the sandbox url: https://aria-at-app-sandbox.bocoup.com/?fakeRole=tester
  2. Sign in with GitHub

For Admin Access

  1. Add ?fakeRole=admin to the end of the sandbox url: https://aria-at-app-sandbox.bocoup.com/?fakeRole=admin
  2. Sign in with GitHub

Getting Started

  1. Create a GitHub account if you do not yet have one.
  2. Make sure you are on the Admin GitHub team or the tester allowlist, or mock your role in the development and sandbox environments by adding a special query parameter, e.g. aria-at-app-sandbox.bocoup.com/?fakeRole=admin
  3. Sign in to the app by authorizing with your GitHub account.
  4. Go to the Test Queue and browse the current entries or add a new one by clicking the "Add a Test Plan to the Queue" button to open the new Test Plan modal.
  5. Enter the AT and Browser that you want to test and select a Test Plan and Test Plan version. Click "Add."
  6. Find the new Test Plan in the Test Queue under a header corresponding to the chosen AT and Browser.
  7. In the table row corresponding to the new Test Plan, assign yourself as a tester in the Tester column.
  8. Test the new capability to delete a Test Plan by clicking the "Remove" button in the Actions column.
