# Certificate Test Data Generation and Verification Findings
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
I've conducted a comprehensive effort to generate test data for the certificate system and verify its functionality, with a focus on the new attendee filtering feature. This document summarizes the findings, challenges, and recommendations.
|
|
|
|
## Test Data Generation Results
|
|
|
|
### Successfully Created:
|
|
- **3 New Test Events**:
|
|
- HVAC System Design Fundamentals (ID: 5641)
|
|
- Advanced Refrigeration Technology (ID: 5668)
|
|
- Building Automation Systems Workshop (ID: 5688)
|
|
- **58 Total Attendees** with varied names and emails
|
|
- **47 Checked-in Attendees** (required for certificate generation)
|
|
- **54 Total Certificates** in the database
|
|
- **5 Revoked Certificates** for revocation filter testing
|
|
- **34 Emailed Certificates** for email status testing
|
|
|
|
### Data Structure Verification:
|
|
Database verification confirms all data was properly created and stored:
|
|
```
|
|
Certificate Database Statistics:
|
|
Total certificates: 54
|
|
Total events with certificates: 6
|
|
Total trainees with certificates: 53
|
|
Total revoked certificates: 5
|
|
Total emailed certificates: 34
|
|
Average certificates per attendee: 1.02
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Attendee Search Functionality
|
|
|
|
The new attendee search feature allows filtering by:
|
|
1. **Attendee Name** (full or partial)
|
|
2. **Attendee Email** (full or partial)
|
|
|
|
### SQL Testing Results:
|
|
- Direct SQL queries successfully retrieve certificates based on attendee searches
|
|
- Name searches work for full names ("Ben Tester") and partial names ("Ben", "Smith")
|
|
- Email searches work for complete emails and domain patterns ("@gmail")
|
|
- Case-insensitive matching works as expected
|
|
|
|
### API Method Findings:
|
|
The `get_user_certificates()` method in the Certificate Manager class showed discrepancies between:
|
|
1. What direct SQL queries found
|
|
2. What the API method returned when using the `search_attendee` parameter
|
|
|
|
These discrepancies appear related to:
|
|
- User ID filtering limiting results to events owned by the current user
|
|
- SQL JOIN conditions potentially not matching the expected behavior
|
|
|
|
## Testing Infrastructure Challenges
|
|
|
|
Several challenges were encountered with the testing infrastructure:
|
|
|
|
1. **Playwright Configuration Issues**:
|
|
- Unable to run automated E2E tests due to configuration conflicts
|
|
- Errors with test structure and missing dependencies
|
|
- Multiple Playwright versions detected
|
|
|
|
2. **Server Access Limitations**:
|
|
- HTTP 302 redirects when accessing certificate pages without authentication
|
|
- Direct web verification required manual testing
|
|
|
|
3. **Environment-Specific Considerations**:
|
|
- Path differences between local development and staging server
|
|
- Authentication required for most operations
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations for Future Testing
|
|
|
|
1. **E2E Testing Improvements**:
|
|
- Audit and fix Playwright configuration issues
|
|
- Update page object models to properly support certificate testing
|
|
- Create dedicated test cases for attendee search features
|
|
|
|
2. **Certificate Manager API Enhancements**:
|
|
- Review and fix the `get_user_certificates()` method to ensure attendee searches work as expected
|
|
- Add better debugging and logging for certificate queries
|
|
- Consider separating event ownership checks from certificate queries
|
|
|
|
3. **Test Data Management**:
|
|
- Create a more comprehensive test data reset/cleanup functionality
|
|
- Add test data versioning to track changes
|
|
- Develop specific test cases for each certificate feature
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
The test data generation was successful, creating a comprehensive dataset that covers various certificate scenarios. The attendee search functionality works at the SQL level, but there are potential issues with the API methods that may need addressing.
|
|
|
|
The test scripts created during this process provide a solid foundation for future testing efforts, and the documentation created will help guide manual testing until the automated testing infrastructure issues are resolved. |
