=== Performance test ===
This section defines a procedure for testing the performance of BASE. The intention is that BASE version 2 should be compared to BASE version 1 with respect to performance. The tests on a BASE version 1 server must be done by hand. For current BASE, there is a test program. The current test program includes the following steps:

 * Import raw data
 * Create a root bioassayset
 * Create a filtered bioassayset
 * Create a normalized bioassayset with LOWESS
 * Export bioassay sets to Serial and Matrix BASEfile formats and to MeV TDMS format

=== Role test ===
This is for testing that the predefined roles can perform their work as intended. The main purpose is to weed out permission problems resulting from:
 * Incorrect permissions installed by installation program
 * Bugs in the permission handling in the core
 * Incorrect handling of permissions in the web client

The test procedure also tests that the basic functionality is working:

 * Creating items and linking them to other items
 * Defining import file formats
 * Importing array LIMS data
 * Importing and validating raw data against array LIMS data
 * Running analysis plug-ins
 * Using files instead of the database for storing data
