Writing a Poll Test Plan

This plan exercises the code used to create and edit polls. All test cases assume you're on the Write Poll page, which is in the administration panel under Write > Write Poll. In general, editing a poll should feel very much like editing a post. If behavior deviates from that in an unexpected way, it is considered a bug.

Adding an option

1. Press the Write > Write Poll tab.
2. Enter a title for the new poll.
3. Type an option in the option field.
4. Press enter or press the 'Add' button.

Verify:

• Poll was saved, with correct title and option.
• 'Poll Updated' message is displayed.
• Poll Preview is shown at the bottom of the page.
• Your poll is shown in the 'Your Drafts:' section at the top.
• A 'Delete this poll' button shows up.
• Attempting to add an option with no text does not add the option.

Creating new poll

1. Click on Write > Write Poll tab to create a new poll.
2. Enter a poll title.
3. Press enter or press the 'Save and continue editing' button.

Verify:

• Verify the same things as under 'Adding an option' above.

   • Post author (you might have to add another user)
