Test Scenario Catalog

This catalog lists the designed test flows. Each scenario should eventually have an automation owner, a smoke command, and a UAT checklist.

Priority Model

Priority	Meaning
P0	Blocks release or payment trust if failing.
P1	Core user experience or operational reliability.
P2	Important edge case with workaround.
P3	Nice-to-have or exploratory.

Scenario Matrix

ID	Scenario	Priority	Current status	Procedure

PAY-SCAN-002	Scanner/backend/frontend token registry consistency for chain 97	P0	Smoke covered	Smoke and Regression Procedure
PAY-SCAN-003	Wrong token contract does not confirm payment	P0	Designed, needs automated negative test	Scanner BSC Testnet Payment Procedure#Negative scenarios
PAY-SCAN-004	Underpayment does not confirm payment	P0	Designed, needs automated negative test	Scanner BSC Testnet Payment Procedure#Negative scenarios

Payment Negative Scenario Families

Family	What to mutate	Expected result
Wrong token	Pay old BSC Testnet USDT or USDC instead of canonical tUSDT	Scanner does not mark intended payment paid.
Wrong chain	Pay on chain 56 or another EVM chain	Scanner watch for chain 97 remains pending.
Wrong amount	Send less than expected base-unit amount	Direct-balance delta below threshold, no paid transition.
Wrong destination	Send correct token/amount to another address	Intended destination delta unchanged, no paid transition.
Duplicate payment	Send twice to same destination after paid	First payment confirms; second must not double-credit escrow ledger.
Late payment	Pay after expiration/cancellation	Payment should not auto-credit an inactive intent without explicit recovery.

Release Policy Scenario Families

These are not implemented yet, but they define the test shape we need before shipping fund release automation.

Product type	Expected policy
Physical product	Delivery proof starts a grace period. Funds release only after buyer confirmation, no dispute, or grace expiry.
Gift card	Delivery should require immediate proof and release funds immediately or near-immediately after buyer acceptance, depending on final policy.
Digital file/license	Same as gift card unless manual review is required.
Service	May need milestone acceptance and dispute window.

Scenario Completion Criteria

A scenario is complete when all are true:

1. It has a written procedure.
2. It has deterministic test data setup.
3. It captures expected API statuses and DB/business states.
4. It has at least one automated test or smoke script where practical.
5. It has a documented live-dev verification result.
6. It names residual risk or product gaps.
