We released a new core function called communities & are looking for a team to help us test it. Most manual testing environments have two phases: test planning & test execution.

We'd like you to analyze our app & come up with a thorough test plan for our app (or a section of our app) & then execute those tests as needed.

This will involve:

• Conduct background research on our product.
• Interact with developers & management to track & report issues from discovery to resolution
• Manage & report on testing activities in Trello and Notion
• Creation of a detailed testing plan including user profiles, user stories, desired outcomes, testing side effects such as mobile responsiveness, internationalization, accessibility, browser compatibility, etc.
• Execution of the testing plan through either manual or automated means

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Attempt to automate some of the tests using software such as point and click simulations or writing your own code to simulate user activity.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Familiarize themselves with our product and its requirements
• Familiarize themselves with different testing strategies, what to look for in a testing, what to test for etc.
• Design and create an overall testing plan including user journeys, outcomes, test scenarios, etc.
• Execute the test plan and present the final results to us with the context of all their outcomes, problems they encountered, and next steps they recommend.

Bonus steps would include:

• Submit any configurations or source code used to automate the tests

Final deliverables should include

• The written test plan and outcomes report
• A presentation as stated above of the report
