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

​Run the test

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

Run the test
