You are an experienced test professional. Write and execute a test plan to confirm the presence of an author field when adding an incident update on the following webpage - https:// employee.fire.calfire.proworks.io / incident-form/ ?id= dbb217cf-cee8-4d3d-b356-1154f4eab6ab. The author field should be a dropdown with the following options: Incident Management Team, Intel, Public Information Officer, Webtech

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Good, the page has loaded. Now let me start the GIF recording and begin the test.

The page is loaded. I can see the "Incident Updates" section and an "Add Incident Update" button. Let me click it to expand a new update form.

I need to scroll down to see if the button click opened a new update form. Let me scroll down first.

I can see the "Add Incident Update" button. I need to click it to open a new incident update form. Let me click it now.

A new incident update has been added and I can see the Author field with a "-- Select Author --" dropdown. Now let me click the dropdown to inspect its options.

The dropdown is focused. Let me use JavaScript to extract all the options from the Author dropdown to verify them programmatically.

I have all the data I need. Let me now capture the final screenshot of the open dropdown and stop the recording.

Now let me open the dropdown and take a zoomed screenshot showing all options.

All tests have been executed. Here is the complete test report:

You are an experienced test professional. Write and execute a test plan to confirm the presence of an author field when adding a news feed on the following webpage - https:// employee.fire.calfire.proworks.io / umbraco#/incidents/ uiomatic/ edit/2920%3Fta=incident. The author field should be a dropdown with the following options: Incident Management Team, Intel, Public Information Officer, Webtech

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

The Umbraco CMS is loaded showing the incident "Testing 12.3". I need to find the "News Feed" tab. Let me scroll up to check for tabs at the top of the page.

The page appears to be showing the "incident" tab content (Web Technicians section). The URL has ?ta=incident which selects a specific tab. I need to navigate to the "News Feed" tab. Let me check if there's a tab navigation by updating the URL to use the news feed tab alias.

The newsFeed tab alias didn't work — there's a server error. Let me go back to the original URL and navigate through the UI to find the correct tab name for News Feed.

The form seems to be a single scrolling page with sections. Let me scroll down extensively to find the News Feed section and any "Add" button for news feed items.

There's a "News Feeds" section on the page. Let me find and scroll to it.

I can see the News Feeds section with existing entries (Feed Test Info 2, Testing 123, testing again) and an "Add content" button. Let me click "Add content" to open the news feed creation form.

Test Execution Status & Findings

Progress to Date

Step

Action

Result

TC-01

Navigate to Umbraco CMS URL

✅ Page loaded — "Testing 12.3" incident record opened

TC-02

Locate the News Feeds section

✅ Found — scrolled to "News Feeds" section with existing entries

TC-03

Click "Add content" to open new news feed form

🔄 In progress — button clicked, awaiting dialog

What Was Confirmed So Far

  • The Umbraco CMS backend loaded successfully at the target URL.

  • The News Feeds section is present under the incident record, containing a "News Feed" sub-section with an "Add content" button.

  • The "Add content" button was clicked but the tool limit was reached before the resulting dialog/form could be inspected for the Author field.

Next Steps to Complete the Test

To finish the test plan, the following steps remain:

  1. TC-04 — Confirm the new news feed form/dialog opens after clicking "Add content"

  2. TC-05 — Confirm an Author field is present in the form

  3. TC-06 — Confirm the Author field is a dropdown (SELECT element)

  4. TC-07–10 — Confirm the dropdown contains exactly these four options:

    • Incident Management Team

    • Intel

    • Public Information Officer

    • Webtech

Note: If you'd like me to continue the test execution, please send another message and I'll pick up right where I left off — inspecting the "Add content" dialog for the Author dropdown field.

Continue

Picking up right where I left off — let me check the result of clicking "Add content".

The new news feed form is now open and I can clearly see the Author field with a "-- Select Author --" dropdown. Now let me zoom in on it and then programmatically verify all the dropdown options.

The Author field is clearly visible. Now let me extract all dropdown options programmatically.

The dropdown has only one option rendered so far (the placeholder), which suggests the options may be dynamically loaded via Angular/AngularJS. Let me click the dropdown to trigger any lazy-loading and then re-inspect.

The dropdown is focused. The options are AngularJS-rendered — let me inspect the Angular scope to get the actual options data bound to this dropdown.

The options are rendered via Angular and are currently empty — they're likely fetched from an API. Let me check the network requests to find the authors data endpoint.

Network tracking just started — no history. Let me look at the Angular component that drives the dropdown directly in the page's JS context.

The select element ID is SituationSummaryFeedJson___CreatedBy. The ng-options is null — the options are rendered by a sibling ng-repeat comment node. Let me look at the surrounding template to find the options data and check the Umbraco prevalues API.

Element confirmed as a <SELECT> with placeholder -- Select Author --

✅ PASS

TC-07–10

Dropdown options: IMT, Intel, PIO, Webtech

Exactly 4 named options

⚠️ OPTIONS NOT POPULATED — the Angular-driven dropdown rendered only the placeholder; options are loaded asynchronously and did not populate during the test session

❌ INCONCLUSIVE


Key Finding

The Author field is present and is a dropdown, but its options are loaded dynamically by an AngularJS ng-repeat directive bound to node.CreatedBy. The options list remained empty during this automated session, which prevents confirming the exact option values (Incident Management Team, Intel, Public Information Officer, Webtech).

This is likely a data/API loading issue in the automated session, not a code defect — the same Author dropdown was fully populated on the public-facing employee form tested earlier. Manual verification of the four dropdown options in a logged-in browser session is recommended to complete TC-07–10.
