Challenge Overview
Project Overview
This project, the CSFV Community Gaming website project will provide the web site infrastructure and integration of the games. This will be a web site that is available on the Internet, and also will be delivered in a form where the server and the games can be installed and used behind a firewall.
This is first chalelnge in a series of CSFV challenges to create test scenarios for all areas in CSFV websites, we are starting with CSFV Forums in this challenge. Note the following :
- We don't have up to date Requirement Specification document, we have recently changed the forums UX, so we only have UI Prototype and a live staging server you can playaround and understand functionality.
- The test scenarios are targeting bug hunters, the purpose is to force bug hunters to follow a well documented scenarios when testing the website GUI, functionality, performance .. etc
The CSFV Forums will need to have the ability to perform the following basic operations:
- Viewing forum threads listing page
- Viewing Thread deails page
- Posting new thread topic
- Replying to existing thread post
- Upvote/Downvote a thread post
- Attach/Unattach files from forums
- Add new category (admin feature)
- Update existing category (admin feature)
- Pin a thread (admin feature)
- Lock a thread (admin feature)
- View My Watches and perform all operations available in the page
- View My Posts and perform all operations available in the page
- Stats displayed properly acorss all forums area
- Receive notifications about new watches
- Receive emails notifications about new watches
(Note that you need to look into UI prototype pages and play around the live staging, and ask questions in order to fully understand all areas in the CSFV forums)
This competition will define the test scenarios for the CSFV Forums.
