ift-ts:qa:status:2026q4-status-go-functional-testing
Description
Continue backend functional testing through status-backend to support Status releases and catch regressions below the desktop and mobile UI layers.
Proposed Q4 scope: the planning discussion reserves one or two backend functional-testing tasks without specifying their details. The maintenance and coverage tasks below continue the Q3 direction; concrete scenarios and ownership remain to be defined.
Task List
Maintenance
- fully qualified name:
ift-ts:qa:status:2026q4-status-go-functional-testing:maintenance - owner: TBD
- status: not started
- start-date: 2026/10/01
- end-date: 2026/12/31
Description
Maintain the status-go functional test suite as backend APIs and behavior evolve. Investigate failing or flaky tests, update fixtures and the Python SDK where needed, and assist with test changes in pull requests.
Deliverables
- PRs fixing functional test failures and maintaining fixtures, SDK helpers, and CI execution.
- Tracked backend or test-framework defects found during maintenance.
Functional test coverage
- fully qualified name:
ift-ts:qa:status:2026q4-status-go-functional-testing:coverage - owner: TBD
- status: not started
- start-date: 2026/10/01
- end-date: 2026/12/31
Description
Add functional tests for prioritized backend coverage gaps and new Status release behavior using status-backend. Select concrete scenarios from the existing backlog and issues found during desktop and mobile testing, including delivery, synchronization, or send behavior where backend-level coverage is appropriate.
Deliverables
- PRs adding backend functional tests for selected scenarios and regressions.
- Tracked backend issues and remaining coverage gaps.
