## Content - Common QA Core Checklist

Run this checklist before any content-type specific file. This covers shared list/create/details/header/bulk behavior used across content modules.

## Totals

| Priority | Count |
| --- | --- |
| P0 | 8 |
| P1 | 6 |
| P2 | 3 |
| P3 | 1 |
| **Total** | **18** |

## P0 - Release blockers

### P0-01 - Content list loads records for selected type

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | The content list page must load records for the selected content type without runtime failure. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Confirm type list operation succeeds (for example `vodList`, `articleList`, `liveVideoList`) or REST list path for REST-backed types. |
| **Pass** | List renders rows and total count matches network payload count. |
| **Fail** | Blank/error state appears unexpectedly, request fails, or network returns GraphQL `errors`. |

### P0-02 - Add New opens correct create entry point

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional |
| **Description** | The global create action must open the create flow for the currently selected type. |
| **Verify** | UI only. Click `Add New` from list header. |
| **Pass** | Create dialog/module opens with the expected type title and inputs. |
| **Fail** | Wrong create form opens, modal does not open, or page errors. |

### P0-03 - Create flow persists a new record

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | Minimum valid create inputs should create a new record and make it discoverable in list/details. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Confirm create mutation (type-specific `*Create`) or REST create path succeeds. |
| **Pass** | Success feedback appears and created record is visible in list or opens in details/modal. |
| **Fail** | Success is shown without created record, request errors, or save silently fails. |

### P0-04 - Row open behavior routes correctly (page or modal)

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional |
| **Description** | Clicking a row should open details page or modal according to type contract. |
| **Verify** | UI only. Open one row from at least one page-backed type and one modal-backed type in release scope. |
| **Pass** | Page-backed types navigate to `/content/{type}/{id}` and modal-backed types open in place. |
| **Fail** | Wrong navigation target, missing modal, or row click is non-functional. |

### P0-05 - Detail save sends update and persists changes

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | Editing a detail field and saving must persist correctly. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Confirm type update mutation (for example `vodUpdate`, `seriesUpdate`) or REST update call. |
| **Pass** | Save feedback appears and a refresh shows updated value persisted. |
| **Fail** | Save appears successful but value reverts, request fails, or no update request is fired. |

### P0-06 - Publish/unpublish state transition works

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | Header/list state actions must transition content status according to action permissions. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Trigger publish or unpublish and inspect update action payload. |
| **Pass** | Status changes to expected state and remains correct after refresh. |
| **Fail** | Action control is broken, wrong state applied, or network returns errors. |

### P0-07 - Schedule action rejects past and accepts future time

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional |
| **Description** | Scheduling should block past datetime and accept valid future datetime. |
| **Verify** | UI only (optional network check for update mutation). |
| **Pass** | Past value shows validation error; future value closes picker and persists schedule. |
| **Fail** | Past datetime is accepted or future schedule is not retained. |

### P0-08 - Bulk state action applies to selected rows only

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | Bulk publish/update/archive/unarchive must apply only to selected rows. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Use multi-select and validate bulk action update requests. |
| **Pass** | Selected rows transition state correctly; non-selected rows remain unchanged. |
| **Fail** | Action affects wrong rows, partially applies without error, or no network request is sent. |

## P1 - Core shared flows

### P1-01 - Search filters records by keyword

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional + API |
| **Description** | Keyword search should narrow records for current type and return expected subset. |
| **Verify** | UI + DevTools Network. Confirm `keyword` is present in query variables or REST query string. |
| **Pass** | Result set updates consistently with query and can be cleared back to full list. |
| **Fail** | Search input changes but records do not update, or wrong keyword is sent. |

### P1-02 - Sort and pagination controls are consistent

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Functional |
| **Description** | Sort and page controls must fetch and show the expected list segment. |

### P1-03 - List and grid view toggle behaves correctly

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | UI |
| **Description** | Toggle between list and grid views should render expected layout where supported. |

| **Fail** | Toggle state changes without layout change or resets page context unexpectedly. |

### P1-04 - Sidebar tab navigation updates tab state

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
