Integration Testcases

Integration test cases cover more complex end to end scenarios of use cases identified during the design of the product.

• Test case1 : Creating and sending new mail - Click on a new item from the Menu which creates a new note. Stamp the note item to a message. The item should now show up in Dashboard (All collection) and the Outbox. Message history status should be Draft. Fill out fields To:, Subject:, Body. Send button should be activated once you fill out the To: field. Message history status should change from Queued --> Sent

• Test case2 : Stamping a note to Calendar and Task items - Click on new item from the Menu to create a blank item(note). Type some text in the note and using the markup bar buttons, convert it to a calendar event. The detail window should change the input fields from Creator, displayName (for notes) to organizer, participants & Title (for calendar). Similarly stamp a new note to mail and type in the input fields replyAddress, toAddress, Subject and Body. Stamp a new note to a task and enter text in the input fields requestor, requestee, Title.

• Test case3 : Inter-stamping items - Rather than starting with a blank note, start with an existing template and stamp the item to something else. Click and hold on the New item to select a template from email, calendar, task or note (note is same as blank item above). Depending on the template chosen it should come pre-activated for the kind of template chosen. For e.g. a new mail item should already have a mail stamp preselected on it. Type in text for each of the templates and stamp it to the other 2 kinds. Make sure the item appears in the appropriate collection.

• Test case4 : Unstamping - Unstamping a specific kind on the item should only remove the item from the collection of that kind. Say, you have stamped a note to a mail and a calendar event. Now when you unstamp the calendar, it should remove it from the calendar collection but retain it in All and In collections. Similarly with the other kinds of items.

• Test case5 : Get email from IMAP over SSL - Update the email account to point to an SSL enabled IMAP server. Put your account information and Get Mail. This should populate mail from the imap server into the In collection. The status bar should show if connected to a secure imap server or not. There should be an icon on the status bar if the connection is secure.

• Test case6 : Handling instantaneous error conditions - There is the instantaneous error when subject is empty etc. A dialog should appear on top of the detail view with the error message with 2 options. Cancel or Send anyway. If the the To field is empty then a popup should appear with the message saying message cannot be sent without the To field. Depending on whethere the mail is sent or not, the message history status should show Queued or Sent.

• Test case7 : Handling SMTP server related errors - Errors where the user doesn't exist on the domain. There error message should be displayed on top of the detail view with the exact details like "user aparna does not exist on crappy.com domain". At this point the message history status is Queued. The 2 options available to the user should be: Cancel and Try again. If the user hits cancel then the message history status icon reverts back to Draft. If the user selects Try again, then the message history status should be Queued. No matter what screen you are on on Chandler the focus should revert back to the item in the All collection.

• Test case8 : Handling Delayed Errors - Handling errors where the SMTP accepts the request but cannot delivered to its final destination after the designated number of tries. This should generate a delivery failure email (generated by the SMTP server).
