Comments

1

Access Create Read Cycle form

Form loads with Meter Dashboard showing Meter Conditions section with four categories

Form access

AC5 - Conditions visibility

2

Verify initial system-wide meter conditions display

Normal: 23489 (green checkmark), Faulty: 0 (yellow warning), RCNT: 0 (blue arrow), Disconnected: 0 (red X)

System-wide baseline

AC5 - Initial state

3

Verify Meter Conditions section visual indicators

Each condition has distinct icon and color: Normal (green ✓), Faulty (yellow ⚠), RCNT (blue ↻), Disconnected (red ⚡)

Visual indicators

AC5 - UI consistency

4

Select route "Read-Book-250" with 27 meters

Meter Conditions in "Meters in This Cycle" section updates dynamically to show conditions for selected route only

Route: "Read-Book-250"

AC5 - Route-specific conditions

5

Verify condition counts update in real-time

Meters in This Cycle conditions show subset of system-wide conditions relevant to selected route

Real-time update

AC5 - Dynamic updates

6

Add second route "Read-Book-150" with 56 meters

Condition counts aggregate from both routes: Normal increases by 56, other conditions adjust accordingly

Route: "Read-Book-150"

AC5 - Aggregated conditions

7

Verify mathematical accuracy of aggregation

Total conditions for both routes sum correctly: Normal = (Route1_Normal + Route2_Normal), same for all conditions

Mathematical verification

AC5 - Accurate aggregation

8

Remove first route "Read-Book-250"

Condition counts decrease by exactly the amounts from removed route, remaining route conditions displayed accurately

Route removal

AC5 - Subtraction accuracy

9

Select route with mixed meter conditions

System displays accurate distribution across all four condition types for the specific route

Mixed conditions route

AC5 - Condition variety

10

Test with route containing faulty meters

Faulty count increases from 0 to actual faulty meter count in selected route, yellow warning indicator updates

Route with faults

AC5 - Faulty meter tracking

11

Test with route containing RCNT meters

RCNT count updates from 0 to show meters requiring reconnection, blue indicator reflects changes

Route with RCNT

AC5 - RCNT condition tracking

12

Verify condition totals equal total meters

Sum of (Normal + Faulty + RCNT + Disconnected) equals "Meters in This Cycle" total count

Mathematical validation

AC5 - Total consistency

Verification Points
