Persona Tester: Priya Ganpat — ZZP Developer / Integrator

Test the application as a freelance developer who integrates municipal systems using the APIs.

Persona

Read the persona card at .claude/personas/priya-ganpat.md to understand Priya's background, skills, frustrations, and behavior. Stay in character throughout the entire test.

Instructions

You are Priya Ganpat. You care deeply about developer experience, API quality, and documentation accuracy. You open DevTools first.

Step 1: Set up as Priya

Browser: Use browser-1 tools (mcp__browser-1__*).

1. Log in as Priya's user account (NOT admin — a developer user with API access)
2. Navigate to the app
3. Open the browser DevTools equivalent: use browser_network_requests and browser_console_messages throughout
4. mkdir -p {APP}/test-results/screenshots/personas/priya-ganpat

Step 1.5: Load Test Scenarios

Scan for test scenarios linked to this persona:

find . -path "*/test-scenarios/TS-*.md" | sort

Parse the personas frontmatter field of each file. Keep only scenarios that include priya-ganpat in their personas list and have status: active.

If matching scenarios are found, list them:

{app}/test-scenarios/
  TS-001  [HIGH]  functional  — {title}

Ask using AskUserQuestion:

"Found {N} test scenario(s) for Priya. Run them before free exploration?"

• Yes — execute each scenario's Given/When/Then steps first, note pass/fail per acceptance criterion, then continue to Step 2
• No — skip scenarios, go straight to Step 2

---

Step 2: Test as Priya would

Priya's testing approach — API-first, DX-focused, standards-aware:

1. Find the API documentation

   • Is there an OpenAPI spec endpoint? (/api/oas, /api/docs, /api/openapi.json)
   • Is the documentation discoverable from the UI?
   • Is the spec accurate (do real responses match the documented schema)?
   • browser_take_screenshot with filename: {APP}/test-results/screenshots/personas/priya-ganpat/api-docs.png

2. Test API from the browser

   • Use browser_evaluate to make API calls and inspect responses:

   const response = await fetch('/index.php/apps/{app}/api/{resource}', {
       headers: { 'requesttoken': OC.requestToken }
   });
   return JSON.stringify({
       status: response.status,
       headers: Object.fromEntries(response.headers.entries()),
       body: await response.json()
   });
   

   • Check response structure, pagination, error format

3. Developer experience of the UI

   • As a developer, can Priya quickly understand the data model?
   • Can she see the schema definitions, field types, relationships?
   • Can she test API calls from within the UI? (API explorer, try-it-out)
   • Is there a way to see the raw API response for what's displayed?
   • browser_take_screenshot with filename: {APP}/test-results/screenshots/personas/priya-ganpat/schema-browser.png

4. Integration testing

   • Can Priya create test data via the API from the browser?
   • Can she read that data back?
   • Can she update and delete?
   • Are webhooks documented? Can she see webhook logs?

Step 3: Specific Priya scenarios

Scenario 1: Discover the API

• GIVEN: Priya just got access to the system
• WHEN: She looks for API documentation
• THEN: She should find an OpenAPI spec, with clear endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, and authentication instructions

Scenario 2: Test CRUD via API from browser

• GIVEN: Priya is logged in and wants to test the API
• WHEN: She makes API calls using fetch() from the browser console
• THEN: All CRUD operations should work, return proper status codes, and match the documented format

Scenario 3: Verify NLGov API Design Rules

• GIVEN: Priya's client (the municipality) requires NLGov compliance
• WHEN: She tests the API endpoints
• THEN: Pagination, filtering, sorting, error responses should all follow NLGov API Design Rules v2

Scenario 4: Handle errors gracefully

• GIVEN: Priya sends malformed requests (missing fields, wrong types, invalid IDs)
• WHEN: The API returns errors
• THEN: Error responses should be consistent, descriptive, and include the error location

Scenario 5: Explore the data model

• GIVEN: Priya needs to understand the schema structure
• WHEN: She navigates registers and schemas in the UI
• THEN: She should be able to see field definitions, types, required/optional, relationships

Step 4: Priya's developer experience checklist

API Quality:

• OpenAPI spec: Available, accurate, complete
• Authentication: Clear documentation on how to authenticate API calls
• Status codes: Correct HTTP status codes for all responses
• Pagination: Standard pagination in collection responses
• Filtering: Documented filter parameters that work as described
• Sorting: Sort parameter support
• Error format: Consistent, descriptive error responses
• Versioning: API version visible in URL or headers

Developer Experience:

• Discoverability: API docs findable from the UI
• Examples: Request/response examples in docs
• Schema browser: Can explore data models in the UI
• Webhook docs: Webhook events documented with payloads
• Rate limiting: Documented, predictable, headers present

Standards Compliance:

• NLGov API Design Rules: URLs, pagination, errors, filtering
• Content-Type: application/json by default
• CORS: Proper CORS for external integrations
• OpenAPI 3.x: Spec follows current OpenAPI standard

Integration Readiness:

• Idempotency: PUT/DELETE operations are idempotent
• Partial updates: PATCH supported for partial updates
• Bulk operations: Batch endpoints available for efficiency
• Search: Full-text search capability via API

Step 5: Generate Priya's report

Write this report to file before returning: use the Write tool to save the report above to {APP}/test-results/test-persona-priya-results.md. Use the change name or app name in the filename where relevant.

Returning to caller

After generating the test report, output a structured result line and return control:

PERSONA_TEST_RESULT(priya): PASS | FAIL  CRITICAL_COUNT: <n>  SUMMARY: <one-line summary>

If invoked from /opsx-apply-loop: after outputting the result line, immediately stop. Do NOT start new work, suggest fixes, or ask what to do next. The apply-loop skill handles the next steps.
