SayPro Feature Testing Completion: Ensure 100% of new features undergo proper user testing and beta launches before full deployment from SayPro Monthly February SCMR-17 SayPro Quarterly Marketplace Features by SayPro Online Marketplace Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR
Strategic Goal
- Primary KPI: 100% of all new features developed during SCMR-17 must:
- Be tested by real users (user testing).
- Pass internal QA and UAT.
- Undergo a limited-scope beta launch with live users.
- Be approved through a testing completion sign-off.
New Features Requiring Testing (SCMR-17)
| Feature Name | Department | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SayPro Express Job Application System | Jobs & Careers | Testing Complete ✅ |
| Smart Course Comparator | Learning Marketplace | Beta Active 🚧 |
| Vendor Profile Performance Dashboard | Vendor Services | User Testing ✅ |
All other optimized features (e.g., Search Filters, Enrollment Interface) follow the same path under the enhancement release cycle but are not categorized under new features for this compliance.
Feature Testing Workflow
1. Pre-Testing Preparation
- Test Plan Drafted – Detailing goals, user personas, test scenarios, and success metrics.
- Test Groups Recruited – Users segmented based on feature relevance.
- Test Environments Deployed – Isolated staging with feature toggles for safety.
2. Internal QA Testing
- Regression Testing: Ensures system stability with new code.
- Cross-Platform Testing: Desktop, mobile (iOS/Android), and browser compatibility.
- Accessibility Review: WCAG 2.1 compliance and screen reader support.
3. User Testing (Alpha Phase)
- Controlled Group: 25–50 invited users.
- Feedback Capture: Session recording, surveys, direct comments.
- Outcome: List of pain points, bugs, and usability blockers.
4. Beta Launch (Live Phase)
- Scope: 5–10% of SayPro users in target segments.
- Duration: Minimum 2 weeks.
- Monitored KPIs: Engagement, completion rates, load performance, error logs.
- Feedback Loop: Beta testers receive acknowledgment and update notices.
5. Go/No-Go Decision
- Final review of:
- Bug severity and resolution logs.
- User sentiment and satisfaction.
- Product Owner & QA sign-off.
- Only then does the feature proceed to full deployment.
