Managing Polls Test Plan

This plan exercises the code used to manage polls. All test cases assume you're on the manage polls page, which is in the administration panel under Manage > Polls. In general, managing polls should feel very much like managing posts. If behavior deviates from that in an unexpected way, it is considered a bug.

Your Drafts

1. In the Write > Write Poll create and save a poll (do not publish though).
2. Return to the Manage > Polls tab.

Verify:

• The draft shows up in the 'Your Drafts' section, but not the list of polls.

Their Drafts

1. Log out as the current user.
2. Log in as a different user.
3. In the Write > Write Poll create and save a poll (do not publish though).
4. Log out as the different user.
5. Log in as the first user.
