Monthly Review - Test Scenarios

Auto-Compute on Tab Open

Given the Balance or Review tab has never been opened in this session

When the user switches to the Review tab

Then the forecast is computed automatically and the review table displays the current month

Shared Cache Between Tabs

Given the forecast has been computed from the Balance tab

When the user switches to the Review tab

Then the review table is populated immediately without recomputation

Cache Invalidation on Refresh

Given the user is on the Review tab with data displayed

When the user presses R to refresh

Then the cached report is invalidated, and switching to either the Balance or Review tab triggers a fresh computation

Margin Calculation Uses Lowest Future Balance

Given a projected balance that dips to 1,740 EUR on March 29th and recovers to 3,200 EUR on March 30th, with a threshold of 500 EUR

When the user views March in the Review tab

Then the available margin is 1,240 EUR (1,740 - 500), using the lowest point, not the end-of-month balance

Alert When Below Threshold

Given a month where the lowest projected balance is 300 EUR and the threshold is 500 EUR

When the user views that month in the Review tab

Then the margin shows -200 EUR, the margin section turns red, and a warning message indicates the date when the balance drops below threshold

Cross-Month Attribution (Early Payment)

Given a rent operation paid on January 25th linked to the February 1st iteration

When the user views February in the Review tab

Then the rent operation appears in February's Actual column (not January's), with a cross-month annotation indicating it was paid early

Cross-Month Attribution (Late Payment)

Given a rent operation paid on February 8th linked to the January 5th iteration

When the user views January in the Review tab

Then the rent operation appears in January's Actual column (not February's), with a cross-month annotation indicating it was paid late

Planned Operation Takes Priority Over Budget

Given a monthly grocery budget of 100 EUR and a planned grocery operation of 50 EUR on the same category

When a 50 EUR grocery operation occurs and is linked to the planned operation

Then the operation is attributed to the planned operation, not to the budget — the budget remains fully unconsumed, and the Forecast shows 150 EUR (50 EUR realized from the planned operation plus 100 EUR unrealized from the budget)

Unlinked Operation Adds to Budget Forecast

Given a monthly grocery budget of 100 EUR

When a 50 EUR grocery operation occurs but is not linked to the budget

Then the Forecast shows 150 EUR (50 EUR actual plus 100 EUR unrealized from the budget), because unlinked spending is added on top of the planned amount

Consumption Bar Over 100%

Given a monthly entertainment budget of 120 EUR and actual spending of 150 EUR linked to the budget

When the user views that month in the Review tab

Then the consumption bar shows 125% in red with the over-budget indicator

Margin Hidden for Past Months

Given today is March 15th and the user is on the Review tab

When the user navigates to February (a past month)

Then the available margin section is hidden

Forecast Column Formula

Given a category with a planned amount of 450 EUR, and 3 of 9 planned operations have been linked with actual amounts of 80, 95, and 45 EUR

When the forecast is computed for that month

Then the Forecast column shows 450 EUR (the full planned amount) because the budget is not yet fully consumed — remaining iterations use the planned daily rate
