User Functional Test Spec (UI + CalDAV, ~1 Hour)

Goal

Exercise the highest-value user flows across web UI, admin setup/users pages, recurrence logic, ICS, and CalDAV synchronization within 60 minutes.

Preconditions (5 minutes)

• Tester has:
  • WordPress admin account
  • one approved calendar user account (for UI + CalDAV write tests)
  • one pending user account (for approval flow checks)
• Test calendar client available (for example Thunderbird).
• Plugin active and calendar page with [calendar] exists.

Test Plan

1. Setup Page (8 minutes)

• Open Setup.
• Verify controls are present and usable:
  • CalDAV/ICS calendar name
  • URL slug
  • plugin table prefix
  • diagnostics enabled
  • uninstall cleanup mode
  • buttons: Save Settings, Seed Events, Delete All Events Data
• Click Seed Events.
• Confirm success message appears.

2. Users Admin Flow (6 minutes)

• Open Users page.
• Verify pending user appears.
• Approve pending user.
• Remove a defunct test user (if present) and verify list refreshes.

3. Calendar UI Auth + CRUD (12 minutes)

• Open calendar page in logged-out mode; verify read-only behavior.
• Log in as approved user.
• Create a single timed event.
• Edit same event (title/category/location/description).
• Delete the event.
• Confirm list/month views update after each operation.

4. Recurrence + Exception UX (12 minutes)

• Create a recurring event (daily or weekly).
• Re-open event and confirm recurrence preview pane is visible.
• Select one occurrence in preview (verify visual highlight).
• Deselect and reselect to verify toggle behavior.
• Click Delete Occurrence and confirm selected occurrence disappears while series remains.

5. CalDAV Round-Trip (10 minutes)

• In CalDAV client:
  • subscribe/connect using approved account.
  • create one event.
  • edit one event.
  • delete one single occurrence from a recurring series.
• In web UI:
  • refresh and confirm all CalDAV changes are reflected.

6. ICS + Diagnostics (7 minutes)

• Open ICS URL and confirm file downloads and contains seeded + user-created events.
• Open Diagnostics page:
  • verify diagnostics snapshot renders.
  • click Download Diagnostics and confirm JSON file downloads.

Pass Criteria

• No fatal errors.
• CRUD works from UI and CalDAV.
• Single-occurrence delete creates exception without splitting series.
• Admin controls behave as expected.
• Diagnostics download works as attachment.
