Sections QA — Comprehensive Walkthrough (Internal)

Jira: DLOW-198

What this is: Internal QA walkthrough for the section admin batch (CCS-07 through CCS-12 + CCS-09a). Sources:

  • UAT guides specs 024–030 on main
  • Admin Spec workflow §5 section path
  • Jira acceptance criteria (DLOW-177–182, DLOW-188)
  • UAT-aligned verify labels from uat-checklist.md + guide confirmation steps

Prerequisite: Complete DLOW-194 — Courses QA first (or seed PLG-LRW-201 via QA Seed Tools). This walkthrough continues where DLOW-194 left off at create-section handoff.

Not business UAT — internal QA before release.

Part 1 — Create & duplicate section (CCS-07)

Task: DLOW-177 · Needs DLOW-194 (ready course + PLG-LRW-201 seeded)

In plain English: Staff create dated sections from a ready course or duplicate a prior offering — dates and price must not silently carry forward.

Workflow area: §4.5 → §5 — Create section from ready course

Walkthrough 1.1 — 1 — Create a section from a course

  1. Open: https://lsuoce-development.fly.dev/dashboard/catalog/
  2. Click Paralegal Studies Certificate → open course PLG-LRW-201 — Legal Research & Writing (section list).
  3. Click Create section.
  4. Confirm the page shows the course title, certificate name, and costing unit (PL) as read-only context. Look for the Inheritance from course panel on the right.
  5. Fill Start date 2026-09-01, End date 2026-12-15, Capacity 25, Section price 525.00, and leave Initial status as Draft.
  6. Click Save section.
  7. Confirm you return to the section list and the new row shows start date 2026-09-01 with a Draft lifecycle badge.
Verify

Walkthrough 1.2 — 2 — Duplicate a section with confirmation

  1. Open: Section list for PLG-LRW-201 (same path as Walkthrough 1).
  2. On the Fall 2026 — Cohort Section row, open More actions → Duplicate.
  3. Confirm reusable fields copied (for example Modality and Enrollment model) while Start date, End date, and Section price are blank.
  4. Confirm the yellow Confirm new offering values panel is visible.
  5. Try Save section without checking the confirmation checkbox — confirm the form stays on the page with an error about confirming dates, pricing, and enrollment window.
  6. Enter new Start date 2027-01-15, End date 2027-04-30, Section price 675.00, check I confirm the dates, pricing, and enrollment window…, then Save section.
  7. Confirm the list now shows both the original section dates and your new section, and the new section is Draft. The original section’s dates should be unchanged.
Verify

Walkthrough 1.3 — 3 — Cohort vs open enrollment labels

  1. Open: Section list for PLG-LRW-201.
  2. In the Enrollment column, confirm one row shows Cohort-based and another shows Open enrollment.
  3. Duplicate the cohort-based section. Confirm the form shows a Cohort-based badge and copy that cohort assignment happens in a later step.
  4. Go back and duplicate the open enrollment section. Confirm Open enrollment copy mentions eligible learners (full cohort rules come in a later story).
Verify

Walkthrough 1.4 — 4 — Section list gateway

  1. Open: Section list for PLG-LRW-201.
  2. Confirm columns include Status, Start, End, Capacity, Enrollment, and Modality, and that More actions includes Duplicate.
  3. Click Create section from the list header. Confirm breadcrumb links still show the certificate and course names.
  4. Empty list (optional): ask a developer for a course with no sections, or create a new course under the certificate. Open its section list and confirm the empty state explains that sections are dated offerings and offers Create section.
Verify

Walkthrough 1.5 — 5 — Duplicate from inactive or cancelled sections

  1. Open the section list and duplicate the Inactive (or Cancelled) section.
  2. Confirm the duplicate form opens, confirmation is required, and save produces a new Draft section without changing the source.

  3. Save and reload.
  4. Confirm start is still set and end remains blank.
  5. Glance at Enrollment summary under Public window — the date line should read 2026-09-01 → Open-ended. Closed now is expected if today's date is still before September 1, 2026; after that date it should show Open now with no end date.
Verify

Walkthrough 3.4 — 4 — Staff window independent of public

  1. Set Public enrollment start to October 1, 2026 and Public enrollment end to December 31, 2026.
  2. Set Staff enrollment start to August 1, 2026 and Staff enrollment end to November 30, 2026 (staff window starts earlier and may end before public closes).
  3. Save and reload.

  1. Open a PLG-LRW-201 section → Publish readiness.
  2. On the right, find the Pricing summary: - Section price and fee GL lines should appear. - Lines inherited from the course should say Inherited from course. - If the section has its own price, look for Section override.
  3. If the course locked fee structure (editable = no), pricing should be read-only with plain copy that overrides are not allowed.
Verify

Walkthrough 6.5 — 5 — Review inherited refund schedule

  1. On Publish readiness, read the Refund schedule summary panel (right column).
  2. Tiers should read in plain language (e.g., percentage, service charge, and which class meeting they apply before).
  3. If the section has meeting dates on Details & schedule, tier labels may include dates (e.g., Class 4 — Mar 12, 2026).
  4. After the last tier below 100%, confirm an inferred No refund on or after Class N line.
Verify

Walkthrough 6.6 — 6 — Override a section refund tier

  1. On a course where Refund policy is inherited and editable, open a section’s Publish readiness.
  2. In the Refund schedule editor (left column), change one tier’s percentage or service charge.

Part 7 — Publish, Moodle trigger & exceptions (CCS-12)

Task: DLOW-182 · Needs Part 6 (no publish blockers)

In plain English: Publish validates readiness, triggers Moodle stub (or external roster), failures land in integration exceptions queue.

Workflow area: §5 publish + §3 integration exceptions queue

Walkthrough 7.1 — 1 — Review publish summary before confirming

  1. Open a section that passes Publish readiness (no red blockers).
  2. Click Publish in the workflow bar.
  3. Confirm you see Publish summary with course/section identity, enrollment window dates, and a target lifecycle choice (Ready or Active).
  4. Do not check I confirm yet — verify the summary matches what you expect.
Verify

Walkthrough 7.2 — 2 — Successful Moodle publish (stub)

  1. On Enrollment, set LMS delivery mode to LSU Moodle shell and save.
  2. On Details & schedule, set a unique Section number (e.g. PL-FALL26-A) and save.
  3. Open Publish readiness and clear blockers (see below).
  4. Open Publish → check I confirm → click Publish section.
  5. On Publish result, confirm: - Section lifecycle shows Ready (or your chosen state). - Moodle course ID bound displays your section number. - Copy mentions Moodle shell sync is pending (stub — not live in Moodle yet). ### Clearing publish blockers (common on seed data) Section price — Publish readiness shows the effective price in Pricing summary (inherited from the course when the section has no override). You do not re-enter it here. If you see Section price is required, the course has no base price and the section has no override — set Course base price on Edit course, or set Section price when creating a new section (CCS-07). Paralegal refund schedule required — Paralegal (PL) sections need refund tiers before publish:
  6. Preferred: Catalog → Paralegal Studies Certificate → PLG-LRW-201 → Edit course → scroll to Meeting-indexed refund schedule → add at least one tier (e.g. Class 1 = 100%) → save course.
  7. Return to the section → Publish readiness → if Refund schedule is editable, click Add refund tier to add section overrides (no blank row appears until you add one).
  8. Re-open Publish readiness — the Publish blockers panel should show no red error items. If a warning (not error) remains and you have a documented exception, use Manual override note + Acknowledge documented exceptions on the same page.
Verify

Walkthrough 7.3 — 3 — Publish blocked when not ready

  1. Open Publish for that section — you should see a Publish blockers card listing the issues (e.g. section price required).
  2. Check I confirm…, choose Ready (or Active), and click Publish section.
  3. Confirm you stay on the publish page with a red error summary at the top and blocker text — not the Publish result screen.
  4. Confirm the section lifecycle did not advance (still Draft).
Verify

Walkthrough 7.4 — 4 — External LMS roster export

  1. On Enrollment, select External LMS (roster export) under LMS delivery and click Save enrollment settings.
  2. Confirm the Enrollment summary sidebar shows External LMS (roster export) and a Download roster CSV button appears.
  3. Complete Publish readiness, open Publish, and confirm LMS mode shows External LMS (roster export) (not “No LMS integration”).
  4. Check confirm and click Publish section (Active sections: choose Active (re-run integrations)).
  5. On Publish result, confirm: - External LMS roster export messaging (no Moodle course ID). - Download roster CSV — file downloads with headers (and rows if enrollments exist).
  6. Return to Enrollment — use Download roster CSV again without re-publishing.
Verify

Walkthrough 7.5 — 5 — No LMS integration

  1. Set LMS delivery mode to No LMS integration on Enrollment and save.
  2. Publish the section.
  3. Confirm result states LMS integration was skipped — no Moodle bind, no roster export requirement.
Verify

Walkthrough 7.6 — 6 — LMS mode cannot be ambiguous

  1. On Enrollment, try switching between Moodle, External, and None.
  2. Save after each choice and reload — only one mode should be active at a time.
  3. You should never be able to save both Moodle and External LMS enabled together.

Walkthrough 7.7 — 7 — Integration failure and exceptions queue

  1. Ask a dev to set up a course ID collision scenario (two sections competing for the same Moodle ID) or publish until a Moodle failure occurs naturally.
  2. After publish, confirm Publish result shows which action failed — not a banner across every catalog page.
  3. Click View integration exceptions (or open Integration exceptions).
  4. Confirm the failure appears in the Pending list with section identity and error summary.

Walkthrough 7.8 — 8 — Retry one failure

  1. From the pending list, click Retry on a single row (after the underlying issue is fixed — e.g. unique section number).
  2. On success, confirm the item leaves Pending and appears under the History tab.
  3. If other pending items existed, confirm they were not retried automatically.

When something fails

  1. Note what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead (screenshot helps).
  2. File a bug on the matching build ticket (DLOW-177, DLOW-178, DLOW-179, DLOW-188, DLOW-180, DLOW-181, DLOW-182).
  3. If it might be a policy question rather than a broken button, say so — link the Admin Spec or uat-guide and flag for triage.
