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 challenge will create the CSFV Chat Test Scenario, we have a test scenario already built at the early stage of the project, you will use it as basis for your work in this challenge, and build a separate document specifically for CSFV Chat module. Note the following :

  • You are provided with Requirement Specification document, Architecture document and live staging that you can use to understand all the functionality of the CSFV Chat Module.
  • 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 so you need to replace the REQ column with a more clear guide to bug hunters as they should not refer to ARS to understand what the functionality the test scenario is referring to. It is preferred to move the functionality list at the top of the sheet, so it is eaiser for bug hunter to understand that the requirement numbering column represents.

We provided you with the CSFV General Community Test Scenario we built at the start of the CSFV project, we need to make sure it is up to date and address all chat funcitonaliy listed below.

From the ARS we have two places that use chat messages :
