Challenge Overview
Project Overview
Welcome to the OPM - Test Cases - View and Create Account - Work Queue - Suspense contest! In this contest, you will need to provide a QA plan for the View, Create Account, Work Queue and Suspense Tabs of the SCRD web application based on the provided Application Requirement Specification and the UI Prototype.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has an existing legacy application called the Service Credit Redeposit/Deposit System (SCRD). The mission of the Service Credit Redeposit/Deposit System (SCRD) is to compute deposits and redeposits, create an initial bill, post payments, and send out receipts to federal employees for periods of federal employment service that were either not covered by retirement deductions (deposits), or were covered and later refunded by the federal government (redeposits).
This competition will define the test scenarios for the View, Create Account, Work Queue and Suspense functionality of the SCRD.
Tips for success:
- Asking questions early and getting feedback is very important for the success of this competition.
- Raise questions if you feel anything is confusing, or if you have any questions on the provided documentation (Copilot and PM will be available to answer questions).
Contest Objective
The goal of this competition is to develop a quality assurance plan and test scenarios to ensure that the requirements are met and the application works correctly. The plan and scenarios should test the application requirements for both positive and negative cases.
You must prepare the plan and scenarios document by considering all pages/screens present in the wireframes/prototype and the Application Requirements Specification.
Your starting point should be the UI Prototype since it's the most up to date deliverable we have. The ARS and the Wireframes should also be considered. If there is any discrepancy between UI Prototype and other documentation you should follow the UI Prototype. If there is any discrepancy between the ARS and the Wireframes you should follow the ARS.
Only the following functionality is required in this contest:
- From 2.1 to 2.22 in the ARS
