Before testing your CGIs, check the [http://genecats.cse.ucsc.edu/builds/versions.html version notes] for recent changes particular to your CGIs.  Pay extra attention to the changes when testing.

==hgTracks, hgc==
# The TrackCheck robot checks this pretty thoroughly
# manually check anything that has been an issue during the past 2-week release cycle
# hgTracks:
## set position to 20bp & turn on all the tracks in hg18 to dense (using configure page); make sure all tracks load
## check that drag/reorder of tracks works
# hgc: check the hgc details of one track per group on hg18, try a few links on the details page for a few, and try at least one composite to try composite specific things like metadata link.
 
==hgTrackUi==
There are a couple of tracks to always check since they are very popular.
* ENCODE
** test the correspondence between the matrix and the list of tracks when you turn on or off different tracks, including the graying out of boxes in the matrix
** test different views for multiple tracks while testing correspondence between matrix and list of tracks
** test one track that has 3 dimensional matrix
** try sorting list of tracks by different columns
** test links at the top of the page to downloads, subtracks and description
** test that the buttons allowing users to go to parent tracks from subtracks and the top of the page work
* Conservation (a "full" track like the one found on hg19)
** test all aspects and buttons of the multiz track, including codon frames and the mini-wiggles visible when both the subtrack and parent track are on "full"
** use this as an opportunity to test all aspects of a wiggle track
** try filtering by score
* SNPs
** test that adding different gene prediction tracks do change the details page for individual SNPs
** test either the Minimum Average Heterozygosity or Maximum Weight filtering
** test the filtering by attribute
** test color specification, including changing the default color for a specification
* mRNAs
** test filtering by one and more than one search term, as well as different filtering options
** test that the coloring by codons/alignment function as expected
 
Finally, test a few random tracks from a few different assemblies (good candidates with non-standard trackUis include Chain/Nets, TransMap, Human Proteins, Restriction Enzymes). A fun one to test is HapMap LD Phased on hg18 since it has a radically different hgTrackUi.
 
Also test the "configure" button for one assembly.
 
==hgGene==
# Heather has a robot to check this CGI
# test one known gene - click off-site, check entire page
# test all possible paths among KG, PB, GS, VG (not that you wind up in mouse VG and need to use "Other Species" to get back to human.)
 
==hgNear==
# use the test protocol for Gene Sorter from the QA portal
 
==hgCustom==
# Test all three methods of entering a CT: typed in, uploaded by file, URL.
# Test editing, deleting, adding, updating, HTML docs, etc.
# Test adding mutiple tracks at once (multiple tracks in one file, multiple URLs, and pasting in mutiple tracks)
# Test CTs in relation to the Table Browser.
*See also examples page here: [[Custom_Track_Examples|Custom Track Examples]]
 
==hgVisiGene==
# test the search box by entering a gene name
# check the zoom buttons
# check that the "Gene" link opens the correct gene details page, and that that "visiGene" link in that gene details page retrieves the correct images in visiGene
# pick an image and check all of the links for that page
# for images composed of several smaller images, check that the pane descriptions are displaying correctly (not all panes will have an associated pane description)
# (Note: the images from Mahoney are a subset of the MGI/Jax images. The Mahoney images should list two sources and should show two sets of acknowledgements.)
 
==hgTables==
# check all drop-downs
# press on summary/stats button
# do an intersection with a couple of different output formats
# make sure filtering is functioning
# create a custom track in the browser
# check all output formats
# try sending output to Galaxy and GREAT; make sure checkboxes stay checked when applying filters, etc.
# do a subtrack merge (select a table from a composite track to get the option)
# do a correlation
# try defining regions
 
==hgPal==
# check a "Protein FASTA" click-through from a UCSC Gene details page
# check a "CDS FASTA" click-through from a RefSeq Genes details page
# using the Table Browser, choose "CDS FASTA" as the output format (this should work for any [http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format9 genePred] track)
# check that different settings give expected results
 
==hgBlat==
# perform both a nucleotide and a protein search with default settings
# make sure colors listed in description section are right
# zoom in on an alignment and test "View details of parts of alignment within browser window"
# try different sorts and output types
# make sure all the buttons work, including uploading a file
# try uploading a file with too many bases or too many queries and verify error message
 
==hgPcr==
# test some perfectly matching primers, including a pair on the negative strand
# find a pair of primers that shouldn't match UCSC Genes and test that they don't
# vary settings and input primers for several assemblies and see if results make sense
# for human and mouse browsers, test the "UCSC Genes" target. Check that UI functions as expected
# check that the UI functions as expected for regular primers as well
 
==hgLiftOver, hgConvert==
# Choose an assembly and go to hgTracks
# Hit "Convert" in the blue bar at the top of the page
# Compare the output to the same conversion using liftOver:
# LiftOver is at Home -> Utilities -> Batch Coordinate Conversion (liftOver)
# Test both position and BED format
# Test a variety of settings
# Try converting multiple positions at once
# Try uploading a file
 
==pbGateway, pbGlobal, pbTracks==
# general testing; click around
# enter a protein symbol
# review results page
# click into pbGlobal and check display
 
==hgSession==
#check that a new session can be saved
#check that old sessions are still there
#delete a session
#check browser & email button; click the title of session & make sure you can save changes to the description
#try loading a session via a file and via a URL
#logout and try to load a session that can be shared and one that can't be shared
 
==hgGenome==
#find it by going Home -> Genome Graphs
#upload a dataset from a file
#upload a data set from a URL
#import data from a track
#change some configurations
#check that "browse regions" & "sort genes" work
#check the correlate button
Some good genome graph data for testing: http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/~rhead/genomeGraphsWithColumns
 
==cartDump, cartReset==
# check cart
# reset cart
# check cart again
See also: cart test protocol
 
==hgApi==
This CGI is responsible for the metadata "..." links on the hgTrackUi page and the "metadata" links on the hgc details pages of composite tracks with metadata.
# click on a "..." link and check that it opens up - no need to check the content. You only need to test one "..." link - if hgApi is broken, it will break all "..." links.
# This CGI can also be tested by clicking on a "meatadata" link in hgc details and check that it opens up - no need to check the content.
Probably doing 1 or 2 is sufficient, but it is a good habit to have the testers of hgTrackUi and hgc check 1 and 2 respectively, that way we are double covered in case one person forgets.
 
==hgEncodeVocab==
# Go to an ENCODE track, most matrix headers should be links. Click on them, should take you to a page with a row of info about the term.
# Go to a couple of these pages and check that the sections are displaying (these pages use hgEncodeVocab to display the info on them):
#* [http://hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/otherTerms.html Registered Variables]
#* [http://hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/antibodies.html Antibodies]
#* [http://hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/cellTypes.html Human Cell Types]
#* [http://hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/cellTypesMouse.html Mouse Cell Types]
# Check a few links in the metadata from hgc details (click "metadata" link to view other links) or hgTrackUi (click "..." link to view other links)
