DEPENDENCY MAP & EXECUTION ORDER

Test Execution Dependencies

Sequential Execution Requirements

  1. Authentication Tests → All other tests
  2. Dashboard Tests → Filtering and Export Tests
  3. Customer Creation → Customer Search Tests
  4. Basic Complaint Creation → Advanced Workflow Tests
  5. File Upload Basic → File Upload Performance Tests

Parallel Execution Opportunities

  • Dashboard Analytics can run parallel with Security Testing
  • API Tests can run parallel with UI Tests
  • Performance Tests can run independently after functional validation
  • Integration Tests can run parallel after basic functionality confirmed

External System Dependencies

Service Dependencies

  • Authentication Service: Required for all test execution
  • Database Service: Critical for data-dependent tests
  • File Storage Service: Required for upload/attachment tests
  • Email Service: Required for communication integration tests
  • Service Order API: Required for integration tests

Dependency Health Checks

Before Test Execution:
1. Verify Authentication Service (Response Time < 1s)
2. Check Database Connectivity (Connection Pool > 50%)
3. Validate File Storage Access (Upload/Download < 5s)
4. Test Email Service Availability (Send Test Message)
5. Confirm Service Order API Status (Health Check Endpoint)
