What is a bug bash?
It’s a collaborative event where the whole team, no matter what their role is, comes together to try to “break” the application in creative ways ahead of a release. The goal is to find as many bugs as possible in a short period of time, and since every person in the team will have their own unique perspective and use the application in different ways, there are better chances of uncovering issues, defining how severe they are and if needed fixing them ahead of the release. It’s also a great opportunity for people to spend some time familiarizing themselves with the application and putting themselves in the shoes of one of our users. And last but not least, breaking things can actually be fun! By doing bug bashes often, we’re cultivating a blame-free culture where we take bugs as a chance to bond as a team, learn and improve.
How do I participate?
If you’re willing to collaborate with this bug bash, please write your name down in the Participants section. If possible add details about what language(s) you’re using when testing the app, as well as which user role(s) you’re logging in as. This will help us know if there are any languages or roles not currently being covered by anyone.
Read through the scope of what we’re testing in the Scope section. The scope will usually be defined based on what kind of changes we are pushing out on the upcoming release and it’s a guidance on which are the main things to keep an eye on. That being said, if you do find any bugs that are unrelated to the scope, feel free to report them anyway.
If the bug bash is done synchronously, there’ll be a meeting where we all come together and test at the same time with a time box. If it’s done asynchronously, we’ll aim to have the session open for enough time that people in different timezones are able to participate. In that case, feel free to participate whenever you can and have the time and to time box depending on what your schedule looks like. Everything helps, so even if you only have limited time to test, you might discover something that nobody else has found before. Information on the timing of the meeting or asynchronous session can be found in the Session details section
What do I do if I find a bug?
First off, congratulations on finding it! To report the bug, head over to the Bugs section and add a new row in the table. The row should include your name and a brief description of the bug, on the Details field please add as much information as possible. Please provide reproduction steps and expected/actual behavior, and if you have the time, screenshots or video recordings of what you encountered will be extremely helpful. You don’t need to fill out the Pre-existing, Priority or Blocker fields as those will be filled out once the session is over.
If you spot a bug and you see someone else has already reported it and it’s on the table, you can go ahead and just add your name to the “Also seen by” column to mark that the bug is encountered frequently, without having to write down all the details again.
What happens after the bug bash?
Once the bug bash session is over, the team will go over the list of bugs that were found and prioritize them. For each issue, we’ll try to answer these three questions:
Was this bug caused by the change we’re aiming to push out on this release, or does it currently exist in production?
How severe and how frequent is this bug, or in other words, what’s the priority for fixing it?
Should this bug block the upcoming release?
No matter the result, if the issue found is something we’d like to fix eventually, we’ll create the corresponding ticket in Jira and add it to the Backlog. If we come to the conclusion that one or more bugs are actually blocking the upcoming release, we’ll add those tickets to the current sprint and give them the highest priority. If no bugs are found that are blocking, we’ll proceed with the release process as normal and work on the reported issues in future sprints depending on their priority.

Scope
This bug bash will be focused on testing Release 3.6.5. The purpose of the patch is to give our users the possibility to create a detailed soil amendment task. So that they can efficiently plan and document the soil treatment processes and ensure proper execution by the assigned staff.
What is more this release should fix some highly annoying issues that were in the APP for a while, for example the White Screen.

STATUS
The main focus of the session should then be on creating the Soil amendment task, creating other types of tasks, visiting the tasks page, deleting the tasks that were created, abandoning the tasks, completing tasks.
We need to be sure that once the user is trying to complete the task he should be able to finish it both by making changes during the completion or not.
For more details on some of the things to assert for, check out the User Stories below.
User Stories
As a (potential) LiteFarm user of any role:
Task Management Guidelines
Viewing and Adding Tasks
When accessing the tasks page, you should be able to view any previously created tasks and have the option to add a new task.
Adding New Tasks
Ensure that clicking the “+ Add a new task” button allows users to select any task type, including the Soil Amendment task.
Copy crop plan should successfully create copied tasks.
Filters Functionality
Verify that filters are working correctly by testing different filter options to ensure appropriate results. Be aware of known issues related to displaying tasks from previously deleted areas.
Account Permissions
Confirm that FO/FM/EO accounts can still manage custom tasks.
Ensure that all users can create any type of task, with the exception that FW accounts cannot create Planting and Transplanting tasks or manage custom tasks. Test by creating various task types, including Soil Amendment tasks.
Confirm that all users can create or edit products from within the product-containing flows (soil amendment, cleaning task, pest control tasks)
Task Creation Process
During task creation, verify that you can complete the task by assigning it to yourself and marking it as already completed.
Ensure the ability to cancel task creation by clicking the “Cancel” button. A confirmation pop-up should appear:
Clicking “No” allows you to continue the process.
Clicking “Yes” aborts the process, redirecting you back to the tasks page.
Ensure that you are still able to create any kind of a task for a wild crop. If you don’t know how to create a wild crop please ask Denis Dovganyuk
Post-Creation Verification
After creating a task, verify that the task information is correct in view-only mode by selecting the newly created task on the tasks page.
Ensure that any changes to a task (created, completed, abandoned, deleted) trigger a notification to the assignee.
Task Management
Confirm that you can still delete or abandon created tasks.
Verify that navigating back and forth during the task creation flow retains previously entered information.
Confirm that tasks are correctly abandoned or deleted when management plans are abandoned/deleted
Confirm the flow works equally well for built-in tasks and for custom tasks
Documentation of Added Products in Certification Export
Should record the quantity of soil amendment products in completed tasks added to organic locations for organic certification-pursuing farms in Record I - Crop Productions Aid of the certification document export
[Link to appropriate sections of the Sanity Script here if there are any] Sanity Script
Known Issues
We know that the user is able to create the 2 or more custom tasks type with an exact same name.
We know that once the user opens the LiteFarm Tab after he has closed his laptop he won’t be able to continue the creation process from the place he stopped.
We know that to apply the filter by date range, you need to change another filter setting as well
