# Trainer User Journey Verification Plan

## Overview
This plan outlines the comprehensive testing approach for verifying all steps of the Trainer User Journey as defined in the requirements.

## User Journey Steps to Verify

1. **Trainer Registration** ✅ (basic test exists)
   - Comprehensive form validation
   - Field requirements verification
   - Error message testing
   - Success message verification

2. **Trainer Login** ✅ (basic test exists)
   - Valid credentials
   - Invalid credentials
   - Remember me functionality
   - Password reset link

3. **Dashboard Access** ✅ (basic test exists)
   - Navigation buttons verification
   - Statistics display
   - Events table functionality
   - Sorting/filtering capabilities

4. **Create Event** ✅ (basic test exists)
   - Form submission
   - Required fields validation
   - Success confirmation
   - TEC integration verification

5. **Manage Events** ✅ (implemented)
   - View event list
   - Edit existing events
   - Delete events
   - Status management

6. **View Event Statistics** ❌ (not implemented)

## Implementation Approach

### Phase 1: Infrastructure Enhancement

1. Create Page Object Model
2. Implement test data management
3. Add custom assertions
4. Enhance error handling

### Phase 2: Core Journey Tests

1. Enhance existing tests with better assertions
2. Implement missing journey steps (5-8)
3. Add negative test scenarios
4. Implement cross-browser testing

### Phase 3: Advanced Features

1. Email communication tests (when Phase 2 is deployed)
2. Certificate generation tests (when Phase 3 is deployed)
3. Performance testing
4. Accessibility testing

## Test Data Requirements

- Multiple trainer personas
- Various event types
- Test attendee data
- Test transaction data

## Success Criteria

- All journey steps have passing tests
- Tests run reliably on staging
- Clear documentation and reporting
- Maintainable test code structure
