# Feature Scenario
1 Add Goal
  • Reached via:
    (i) Goal List - Add button (for Admin / Supervisor / HOD users)
    (ii) My Goals - Add button (for ESS users)
  • 1.1 Add Goal
  • It's possible to select a goal from the goal library as the goal name
  • No other goal fields are copied from the goal in the library to the new goal being created.
  • 1.1.1 Add Goal 6.5
  • By default the system is configured to allow adding both Goals and Objectives with Key Results
  • 1.2 Add Goal 6.5
  • When adding a goal there's a choice (if configured) between adding a:
    (i) Goal
    (ii) Objective with Key Results
  • Objectives with Key Results are goals (retaining all the behaviors of goals) except that:
    (i) Cannot have a parent goal
    (i) Cannot have other sub-goals (except Key Results)
  • 2.1 Modify Goal
  • It's possible to modify and save an existing goal.
  • 2.2 Modify Goal
  • Admins can modify all accessible goals.
  • Supervisors can only modify Individual goals
  • Supervisors cannot modify Business goals
  • ESS users can only modify Individual goals
  • ESS users cannot modify Business goals
  • 2.3 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • From within (the screen of) an Objective (with Key Results) it is possible to add Key Results for the Objective.
  • A key result is also a Goal retaining the behavior of goals except:
    (i) Can have a metric (optional)
    (ii) Has a parent (mandatory, and cannot be changed)
    (iii) Has no description field
    (iv) Cannot have sub-goals
    (v) Cannot be added to the goal library
    (vi) Not possible to bulk assign
    (vii) No "Read Only for Assignee" option
  • Added key results also get listed under goal list under objectives.
  • Key results do not get listed as top-level goals
  • Key results do not get picked by goal searches.
  • Key Results can only be deleted from within an Objective
    6.5.7
  • Even if an Objective is noneditable, KR owner can update details of the KR but cannot Re-assign
  • 2.4 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • When adding a Key Result (KR)It is possible to define a metric
  • It's possible to define the following for a metric:
    (i) Name 6.5.1 Unit of Measurement (entered as text e.g. $ Annual Revenue, Calls per month)
    (ii) Format (drop down)
    (ii) Start value
    (iii) Target value
    (iv) Current value
  • By default metric fields are enabled.
  • When adding a KR, the user can disable the metric. If disabled, the metric related fields appear disabled.
  • 2.5 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • The following options are available under Metric - Format:
    (i) Number x,xxx.xx
    (ii) Number x,xxx
    (ii) Percent xx.xx%
  • 2.6 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • The metric value fields: Start Value, Target Value, and Current Value behaves as defined under Key Result Metric - Value Fields
  • 2.7 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • The percentage of completion of a Key Result cannot be manually modified.
  • The percentage of completion is automatically generated using from the metric using the formula:
    Progress % = [(Current value - Starting value) /(Target value - Starting value)] x 100
  • 2.8 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • If the metric is disabled, for progress calculations, status "Pending" and "In Progress" are considered as 0% and "Achieved" is considered as 100%.
  • 2.9 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • From within an Objective, it is possible to view a list of KRs assigned to it.
  • The following columns are displayed: Name, Owner, Completion, Metric
  • The Metric column displays:
    (i) If metric enabled: [current value of the metric] + [metric name]
    (ii) If metric not enabled: [current completion status]
  • It is possible to add/modify/delete KRs from this view.
  • 2.10 Key Results and Metrics 6.5
  • When an Objective (OKR) is deleted, the associated key results are also deleted.
  • Even if the user cannot access some of the owners of the Key Results, still deleting an Objective would delete all associated key results.

    QA Feedback

    • test case 2 - better to mention that it is possible to give a new name for a goal without selecting a goal from the library
    • better to link Add Goal Form Fields from a test case (from Test case 1 or 2)
    • test case 5.0.1 - better to mention the max allowed size
    • better to mention as where its redirected after a goal is added. (its redirecting to the same Add Goal page with the filled data. in bulk assigning, its showing one employee out of all the matching employees)
    • test case 5.1 - "6.4.10 When a commenter of the goal is purged all the added comments of his/her are gets removed and the name is shown masked." need some grammar correction here. Can mention as "When a commenter of the goal is purged all the added comments added by him/her are removed and the name is shown masked."
    • test case 5.1 - last sentence - 'terminates employees' should be changed as ' terminated employees'
    • Add/View/Modify Goal Form
      • 'Goal Name' is there before the 'type'. Need to have that order here also
      • Parent Goal - "It's possible to select a goal assigned to an employee in a location other than the goal assignee's location (based on the accessibility of the goal by the assigner)" - this is not clear

    QA Feedback for 6.5

    • 1.2 - "When adding a goal there's a choice (if configured) " - Adding Objectives is available by default. It is not configurable. There should be a DB configuration for this. Refer 6.5 scopes
    • In 1.3 it says "By default the system is configured to allow adding both Goals and Objectives with Key Results". But in 1.2 it says " (if configured)". Better to reorder these 2 test cases. Moved
    • 1.2 - "key results are goals except that: Cannot have parent goals and sub goals". Seems it gives a wrong meaning since it uses the words "except" and "cannot". No change needed
    • 1.2 and 2.3 have duplicate content 1.2 is about Objectives and 2.3 is about Key Results
    • Both 1.2 and 2.3 better to mention the additional things that goals are having which are not there in OKRs
    • Add/View/Modify Goal Form - better to have a separate form for Objectives or need to modify this existing form considering adding Objectives Updated. Check prefix 6.5
    • 2.3 - need more description about the deletion behavior. (What will happen for the key results if the objective is deleted etc) This is covered in 2.10
    • ,2.4 - "By default a metric is enabled. It's possible to disable the metric. " - better to mention that its possible to disable from the front end with the given checkbox. Updated
    • need to have a separate section for 'Add Key Results Form'.
    • 2.4 - "(i) Name" this should be changed as "Matric Name" Updated to 6.5.1 behavior
    • Key Result Metric - Value Fields - Rejected Values column -> better to number the 3 bullet points as (i), (ii), (iii) since there are examples added as numbered list (then its maped with examples) Not needed. We can add more examples later
    • better to swap 2.7 and 2.8 (better to mention about "completion calculation when the matric is enabled" first) Updated
    • 2.8 - better to mention the formula as "Progress % = [ (Current value - Starting value) /(Target value - Starting value) ] x 100" Updated
    • 2.10 - "some of the owner's of the Key Results" - this should be changed as "some of the owners of the Key Results" Updated
    • Need to have a test case for workflow behavior of Objectives when the goal workflow is enabled Covered under test cases 6 - 6.4
    • Need to have test cases for Goal List behavior (should be added in Goal List screen spec) Not clear what this means. 6.5 test cases are separately added under Goal List
    • 6.1 - Need to mention where the Rejected goals are listed (its listed only at ESS user's Unapproved list) Updated
