Status QA Mobile

ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile

Description §

Close critical mobile test coverage gaps in group chat, communities, and device sync, while expanding platform support.

Areas for Q2:

• Group chat test stabilization and landing, carried from Q1
• 1x1 messaging completion to desktop critical parity
• Communities test groundwork using backend API for environment setup
• Device sync onboarding using backend API for sync code generation
• iOS coverage expansion

Current Coverage (End of Q1 2026):

• 13 test files, 32 test methods
• 52% of desktop critical assertions matched, 46/89
• Zero-coverage areas: group chat, communities, device sync
• iOS POC validated with a single onboarding test
• Multi-device infrastructure mature, with 2-device and 3-device setups validated
• Nightly and per-PR CI checks operational

Platform Constraints Identified in Q1:

• Community creation is desktop-only, createCommunityEnabled: !isMobile
• Sync code generation is desktop-only, SetupSyncingPopup is a desktop modal
• Ownership transfer and control node management are desktop-only
• Backend API needs to be investigated as an alternative for test environment setup

Task List §

Messaging group chat §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:test-messaging-group
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/04/01
• end-date: 2026/05/15

Description §

Stabilize and land 3-device group chat tests. The tests were built in Q1 but reverted because of flakiness; the multi-device infrastructure is now ready and group chat creation is fully available on mobile.

Deliverables §

• Activity Center and group chat page objects
• test_messaging_group_chat.py with 3-device execution
• Member management, link preview, and leave-chat assertions validated
• 11 assertions matching desktop critical parity

Messaging 1x1 completion §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:test-messaging-1x1
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/04/01
• end-date: 2026/04/30

Description §

Close the remaining 1x1 messaging gaps to reach full desktop critical parity.

Deliverables §

• Message edit status, isEdited, assertion added
• Image attachment send and receive test
• Chat history clear and post-clear chat state assertions
• Receiver cannot-delete-sender’s-message assertion
• 3 additional assertions bringing 1x1 messaging to 12/12 desktop parity

Communities groundwork §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:test-communities
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/05/01
• end-date: 2026/06/30

Description §

Land community page objects and establish mobile-feasible test coverage. Community creation is desktop-only, so test environment setup will be investigated using the backend API directly.

Deliverables §

• Investigation of backend API for community creation and test environment setup
• Community overview, channels, categories, and permissions page objects merged
• Browse and join community flow test on mobile
• Channel interaction test within a joined community
• Documented remaining gaps for permissions and categories, for Q3 follow-up if needed

Device sync onboarding §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:test-device-sync
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/05/01
• end-date: 2026/06/15

Description §

Implement mobile login-via-sync-code test coverage. Sync code generation is desktop-only through the UI, so the backend API will be investigated for generating sync codes directly.

Deliverables §

• Investigation of backend API for sync code generation
• SyncCodeInputPage page object for LoginBySyncingPage
• SyncProgressPage page object for sync progress, success, and failure states
• test_mobile_sync_login.py validating code entry, sync completion, and profile data sync
• 5 assertions matching desktop critical parity

Quick wins §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:quick-wins
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/04/01
• end-date: 2026/04/30

Description §

Close small assertion gaps that require minimal new infrastructure.

Deliverables §

• Post-login user identity check in password change test
• Post-login user identity check in backup recovery test
• Backup seed banner visibility state validation

iOS coverage expansion §

• fully qualified name: ift-ts:qa:status:2026q2-status-qa-mobile:ios-expansion
• owner: magnus
• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/05/15
• end-date: 2026/06/30

Description §

Extend the iOS POC beyond the single onboarding smoke test, informed by the Q1 feasibility assessment from PR #20049.

Deliverables §

• Additional iOS smoke tests covering wallet and messaging critical paths
• iOS CI integration assessment
• iOS coverage roadmap for Q3
