Mayank Gupta has been working on a new test harness that allows us to automatically run the SCORM ADL 1.2 and 2004 tests as part of a GSOC<\/a> project this year. This also means we can start to run the 1.2 and 2004 tests during Moodle’s weekly integration review to make sure that any new code hasn’t broken SCORM compliance. Previously, running the tests has been a very time consuming task – even for SCORM 1.2 with just 2 SCORM packages to test… SCORM 2004 has 189 different SCORM packages that need testing!<\/p>\n

As part of Mayank’s work a small number of SCORM 2004 issues<\/a> have been resolved in Moodle 2.2 and hopefully with the automated test harness in place it will help to progress with other SCORM 2004 bugs.<\/p>\n

If you would like to keep track of Moodles SCORM 2004 progress, add yourself as a watcher to MDL-7068<\/a> where each SCORM 2004 test has been added as a task.<\/p>\n

If you would like to install the test harness and check it out in action – see the instructions here:
\nhttp:\/\/docs.moodle.org\/dev\/SCORM_Test_Harness#Running_ADL_SCORM_Test<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the challenges we faced was loading 189 SCORM packages into a Moodle Course – I knocked up a quick script to import bulk SCORM packages that is available on MDL-17822<\/a> if anyone is interested!<\/p>\n

Mayank’s work has been a valuable contribution and I’m personally appreciative of the effort he put into the test harness – it’s going to save me a LOT<\/strong> of time – and hopefully help to prevent any SCORM regressions from appearing in new versions of Moodle! – and thanks heaps to Google for helping to fund Mayank’s time to do the work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
