Giveth.io Testing Guidelines

This guide provides a framework for testing the Giveth.io DApp.

Requirements​

  • User testing should be done on https://staging.giveth.io - Our staging environment is deployed on both Ropsten (Mainnet) and Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network).
  • Please use a modern browser. If you encounter a bug, please try the same thing with another browser. Please make an issue in any case, but tell us if the issue might be browser specific.
  • Use issues in GitHub for reports and feedback.

Use Cases​

The following actions are defined as core functionality. If one of these steps is buggy, that represents a critical error.

General​

This use case will be partially automated but requires user-testing, especially to ensure that all external links function correctly.

  • View Home page, hover all over project cards to see load more, and donate button
  • Check all links on the home page
  • Check all footer links including social links
  • "Liking" projects - successful and "heart count" updates

Projects Page​

View the projects list, by clicking the projects links in the header

  • Make sure badges of verified and trace is working properly

Test sort by /filter / search

  • Filter by category and make sure filtering works fine
  • Sort by Amount raised, newest, oldest, hearts
  • In sort by field, we have some items that should act as the filtered items: Accept GIV token (all projects excluding Giving Block projects) - Trace - Verified. all of them should filter the results
  • In search, you can easily find results by title, description, impact Location, (project owner is not searchable now but it’s implementing)
  • If no result is found, the formatting of no result page should look normal
  • Back - in the search box should clear the input and show all projects
  • Back in the no result should also do the above

Project Public View​

Public view means the view that everyone can see. If you are the owner of this project and you are signed in, you may have another view, called the Project Owner view, which you can see in the following doc.

  • Project single page public view -when you click on learn more you can view the details of the project
  • About tab should show the project description
  • Sidebar: donate button, hover on the button to see the changing color
  • The share should work properly
  • Like the projects - if not signed in, you should get asked to sign in, if signed in, it should get red after giving heart
  • Tags: categories and badges of verified should work properly
  • GIVback toast message link LEARN MORE should go to docs
  • Report issue link should work properly
  • Updates have to be shown properly, (to test better as the owner you can post an update, log out and see as public view if it is updated or not)
  • Donations Table: Make sure all-time funding received is accurate. Test count, sorting on the date, amount, and USD value, also search in donation

Sign-in​

  • Signing with Ethereum: select meta-mask, torus, and walletConnect
  • Sign-in: you are prompted to connect your wallet and you get asked to sign again for doing some specific actions, for example: liking (“hearting”), viewing your account, viewing the project in owner view, or creating a project
  • Social links on sign in should load torus:
testingsocialmedialinks

  • For impact, search locations, cities, areas as well as countries or continents and make sure it’s working properly
  • Category select
  • Google maps selection
  • Preview (save as a draft) means you can reach out to the projects later in your account but it’s not active yet

  • Check that projects are all listed in "my projects"
  • Check that projects show up on homepage*
  • Deactivate/reactivate project
info

*Projects created on the DApp have an automatic "unlisted" Status, meaning they will not show up until their status is changed to "listed". Reach out to someone with the Verification Team role on the Giveth Discord who can show you how to list your project on staging in order to continue testing.
