VCF TOOL TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
==

@channel so excited to have you apart of this final stage of testing! please see the details below.

## SETTING THE SCENE

* you are an SE10X student who got invited to participate in the Virtual Career Fair where you can meet “companies”! yay!
* this tool will ask for your details then match you with a job that fits the requirements
 
## MAIN DOCUMENTS

* [Data reference](https://go.codepath.org/opsvcftesting)
* [Feedback form](https://go.codepath.org/opsvcffeedback)
 
## GUIDELINES

* we are intentionally keeping the specifics of how to use the tool vague so that you would have the same experience as actual students
* there are assigned tasks for each day. **it will take max of 30 minutes for each day. **
* **each task expires by EOD** so make sure you complete them within the day they are assigned.
* you can expect to receive emails when the next step is ready.
* if you have Upwork activity codes in your team, use the ad hoc code.
* as soon as you start, keep a personal Google Doc open so that you can write down any comments along the way. you will be asked to submit this after each step.
* we want to stress test some edge cases so **you will be provided with specific answers for some questions. **please pay attention to which one these are.
* **please use your real name**: we want to be able to troubleshoot easily when something goes wrong with the matching algorithm.
* when you are done, please fill out this form.
* for accountability, you will be asked to mark these columns when you are done
  * `MONDAY DONE?`
  * `TUESDAY DONE?`
  * `WEDNESDAY DONE?`
* @operations-leads please monitor and follow up with your team if there is anyone who hasn’t completed the step

## PROCESS

* **before you start:**
  * [open this file](https://go.codepath.org/opsvcftesting) to know which values you should put. each team has its own tab
  * keep a personal Google Doc open so that you can write down any comments along the way. feel free to include screenshots. you will share this later.
* **while using the tool:**
  * imagine you are a student! :slightly_smiling_face: 
  * use the github account you use for CodePath tools (e.g. if you use `elenaobi` to access the org dashboard, that’s the same one you’ll use for this tool)
  * feel free to play around with the tool, change your answers, skip some questions initially then come back to them later.
  * you don’t have to fill out the form in one go (you can open it, then close it again, then open it again later)
  * imagine you are actually going to meet these companies, do you have everything you need? if not, add them to your google doc
  * are there any blockers to you completing the steps? add them to your google doc
  * any feature that is annoying? add them to your google doc
  * check the emails you receive each day, is the content understandable? if not, add them to your google doc
* **after you’re done**
  * double check that you’ve filled out all the information correctly based on this
  * mark that day’s column on the google sheet as “Done” depending on what day you did.
    * `MONDAY DONE?`
    * `TUESDAY DONE?`
    * `WEDNESDAY DONE?`
