Student Registration for a Course

Test Steps

1. Navigate to the Registration Form

   • Open the portal and access the "Register for a Course" form.

2. Input Test Data: Use the following mock data to test the form:

   • Full Name: John Doe
   • Email: john.doe@example.com
   • Phone Number: +1234567890
   • Gender: Male
   • State: California
   • City: Los Angeles
   • Referral Code: ABC123 (if applicable)
   • Courses to Enroll:
     • Course 1: "Introduction to Programming"
     • Course 2: "Data Structures and Algorithms"

3. Submit the Form

   • Click the "Submit" button.

4. Expected Front-End Validation:

   • Required Fields: Ensure that required fields are validated (e.g., name, email, phone, state, city, courses).
   • Email Format: If an invalid email is entered, an error should appear.
   • Phone Number Format: Ensure phone number accepts only valid formats.

5. Expected Back-End Behavior:

   • Data should be stored in the appropriate database tables (e.g., students and course_enrollments).
   • If the referral code is used, ensure it's validated and associated with the student.

6. Success Confirmation:

   • A success message should appear: “Registration Successful! Welcome to the program.”
   • Optionally, an email confirmation should be sent to the student’s email address.

Additional Test Cases:

• Edge Cases:

  • Empty form submission (should trigger validation errors).
  • Invalid referral code (should display “Invalid referral code” message).
  • Enrolling in the maximum number of allowed courses (if any limit exists).

• Database Validation:

  • Check if the students table has the record for "John Doe."
  • Ensure courses are correctly linked in the course_enrollments table.

• Session Testing:

  • If the user session is stored (e.g., for progress tracking), ensure it is active after submission.
