Exploratory Testing Charter: Property Details Page

Charter Title:

Exploring the Accuracy and Functionality of Property Details Page and Rental Unit Information Submission

Mission:

Explore the Property Details Page for potential issues related to user flow, field validation, data persistence, and stepper navigation to ensure that users (hosts) can seamlessly input and modify rental unit details and examiners can view relevant property information for decision-making.

Key Areas of Focus:

1. Field Validation and Behavior:

   • Validate required fields such as rental unit address (Nickname, Country, Province, City, Postal Code) and ensure that optional fields (Address Line 2, Nickname, Parcel Identifier, Business License) function as expected.
   • Ensure that predefined fields like Country (Canada) and Province (BC) are pre-selected and non-editable.
   • Validate address search functionality via Canada Post Address Complete to verify suggested addresses appear as the user types.
   • Ensure that Business License Expiry Date is required when the Business License Number is provided and cannot be a past date.
   • Validate the format for fields such as Parcel Identifier (PID) (3-3-3 format) and Business License Expiry Date (YYYY-MM-DD).
   • Check error messages and red stepper icons when users miss required fields or enter invalid data.

2. Form Navigation and Data Persistence:

   • Confirm that navigating between different sections using the stepper retains entered data without data loss.
   • Ensure that the stepper highlights the correct section based on user navigation (e.g., Property Details stepper is highlighted when on the Property Details Page).
   • Validate the completeness checkmark for the Contact Information Stepper when all required fields are filled.
   • Verify that edits made to any field on the Property Details page are saved and persist even after navigating away.

3. Dropdown and Picklist Selection:

   • Test the Type of Property and Type of Ownership picklists to confirm that users can select valid options and that these selections are saved and visible on review pages.
   • Validate dynamic behavior for property type selection (e.g., options for second question changing based on the answer to the first question).
   • Explore the handling of listing URLs, ensuring validation for the URL format and the ability to add/edit/remove URLs.

4. Rental Unit Type and Space Information:

   • Test the process of selecting Rental Unit Type and Type of Space (Entire Home, Shared Accommodation) and ensure correct options are displayed.
   • Ensure dynamic behavior for follow-up questions based on the selection of the Type of Space (e.g., "Is this unit on the same property as your principal residence?").
   • Validate that users can input and modify the Number of Rooms for rent (whole number only, no 0 allowed).

5. Review and Decision-Making for Examiners:

   • Confirm that examiners can view Business License Expiry Date and other relevant details on their Application Details page.
   • Ensure hosts can review all the details they input (address, type of space, number of rooms, listing links) on Step 4 of the form.

Key Scenarios:

• Scenario 1: Navigate between steps using the stepper while ensuring data persistence and validation across fields.
• Scenario 2: Enter and edit rental unit address details, ensuring accurate validation for each field.
• Scenario 3: Select from the Type of Property and Type of Ownership picklists and ensure dynamic options based on previous selections.
• Scenario 4: Add and validate the Business License Expiry Date and test error handling for invalid or missing dates.
• Scenario 5: Enter rental unit details (e.g., number of rooms) and ensure correct behavior for the Type of Space and Rental Unit Type questions.
• Scenario 6: Examiner views and verifies that all required information (address, property type, business license expiry) is available and correctly displayed on the Application Details page.

Additional Considerations:

• Accessibility: Ensure the form elements are accessible, including navigability via keyboard and screen reader compatibility.
• Global Scenarios: Explore form behavior with international users or addresses (if applicable).

Session 1: Field Validation and Behavior

• Focus: Validate required and optional fields on the Property Details page.
• Scope: Test required fields (e.g., Rental Unit Address) and optional fields (e.g., Nickname, Parcel Identifier, Business License). Ensure that fields like Country (Canada) and Province (BC) are pre-selected and non-editable. Verify address search functionality using Canada Post Address Complete. Validate the Business License Expiry Date format and confirm it cannot be a past date.
• Goal: Confirm that all fields behave as expected and that validation and error messages function correctly.

What did you Test? field validation on property details page. I tested that i was able to leave blank optional fields. it is important to note that the BL expiry date is validated when you click next but is being validated before application is submitted and is a required field if you fill the BL optional field.

BL License expiry date is not validated if entered manually.

• [x] test rental unit address is required
• [x] test nickname and parcel identifier is options
• [x] test BL expiry required when BL entered
• [x] BL expiry cannot be past date
• [x] canada and BC are pre populated
• [x] verify canada post address complete.

Any observations you want to share? I noticed it doesn't check for accuracy of address if entered manually, do we wish to in the future have geocoder/canada post API validate them? is this important. if you have used canada post API to enter the address and manually modify this will not be validated. understand that is a feature as we are not validating address because not all can be Bug Report References: BL expiry date validation for manual entry added to current. ticket in progress # 23551

Session 2: Form Navigation and Data Persistence

• Focus: Test the functionality of the stepper and ensure data persistence.
• Scope: Navigate between different sections using the stepper and confirm that data persists without loss. Verify that the stepper highlights the correct section and displays a completeness checkmark when all required fields are filled. Confirm that edits made to fields on the Property Details page are saved.
• Goal: Ensure that data is retained and properly displayed across navigations.

What did you Test?

• [x] Confirm that navigating between different sections using the stepper retains entered data without data loss.
• [x] Ensure that the stepper highlights the correct section based on user navigation (e.g., Property Details stepper is highlighted when on the Property Details Page).
• [x] Validate the completeness checkmark for the Contact Information Stepper when all required fields are filled.
• [x] Verify that edits made to any field on the Property Details page are saved and persist even after navigating away.

Any observations you want to share? Bug: if data has been entered into the 'Listing Link' field, it becomes impossible to delete. Deletion attempts get auto-filled with "about:blank". This is an issue especially because it's an optional field.
