Test Procedure:

Step #	Action	Expected Result	Input Data	Verification Points	Comments
1	Create new read cycle with conflicting routes	System detects potential conflict	Routes A, B (already scheduled Mar 1-15)	Conflict detection triggered	Conflict identification
2	Attempt to schedule overlapping dates	System prevents scheduling with clear error	Mar 10-20 schedule dates	Error: Routes already scheduled for overlapping period	Date conflict detection
3	Verify conflict error message	Clear, actionable error message displayed	N/A	Message specifies conflicting routes and dates	Error clarity
4	Test partial route conflict	System detects partial conflicts correctly	Routes A, D (A conflicts, D available)	Conflict detected for Route A only	Partial conflict handling
5	Schedule non-conflicting dates	System allows scheduling when no conflicts	Apr 1-15 schedule dates	Schedule accepted, no conflicts	Valid scheduling
6	Test same route, different dates	Non-overlapping dates allowed for same routes	Routes A, B for Apr 1-15	Schedule accepted for non-overlapping period	Date-based validation
7	Create cycle with non-conflicting routes	System accepts cycles with available routes	Routes D, E (not previously scheduled)	Cycle created successfully	Available route handling
8	Test edge case - adjacent dates	Adjacent date ranges allowed (no overlap)	Mar 16-30 (adjacent to Mar 1-15)	Schedule accepted, no overlap detected	Edge date handling
9	Test same start/end dates	Exact date matches prevented	Mar 1-15 (exact match)	Conflict detected, scheduling prevented	Exact match detection
10	Verify conflict resolution suggestions	System suggests alternative dates/routes	Conflict scenario	Alternative options provided	Conflict resolution
11	Test multiple cycle conflicts	System handles complex multi-cycle conflicts	Multiple existing cycles	All conflicts detected and reported	Complex conflict handling
12	Modify existing cycle to create conflict	System prevents modifications that create conflicts	Extend existing cycle dates	Modification blocked due to conflict	Modification validation
13	Delete conflicting cycle	Conflict resolution by removing existing cycle	Delete Mar 1-15 cycle	Previously blocked schedule now allowed	Conflict resolution
14	Test concurrent scheduling attempts	System handles simultaneous scheduling	Two users schedule same routes	First succeeds, second gets conflict error	Concurrency handling
15	Verify conflict audit trail	All conflict events logged in audit trail	N/A	Conflict detection and resolution logged	Audit tracking

Verification Points:
