TEST004 – Profile Integration with Recommendation

• TicketCode

Description

Completed testing of the profile integration with the recommendation system, verifying that profile data (allergies, dietary preferences, and health goals) is saved correctly, persists across sessions, and is correctly consumed by the product warning and recommendation engine.

Testing Scope

• Created 3 test profiles with distinct configurations (allergies, dietary preferences, health goals, and an empty control profile)
• Tested key scenarios:
  • Profile data persistence (allergies, dietary preferences, health goals) across save/navigate/reopen cycles
  • Immediate impact of profile updates on product warnings and recommendations
  • Recommendation result changes when switching between profiles
  • Frontend–backend–database alignment for profile fields
  • Safe handling of missing or incomplete profile data
• Testing conducted on Web version (Expo w mode)

---

Key Findings

• Profile data (allergies, dietary preferences, health goals) saves and persists correctly across sessions
• Allergy-based warnings update reliably when profile allergy settings are changed
• Dietary preference (Vegan / Vegetarian) is stored correctly but is not fully enforced in alternative recommendation output — some non-compliant products still appear in suggestions
• Health goals have limited observable impact on recommendation scoring
• Frontend–backend–database alignment is confirmed for allergy fields; a partial integration gap exists between stored dietary preferences and the recommendation engine
• Empty/incomplete profiles (Profile C) are handled gracefully — no crashes, blank screens, or null reference errors

Test Results Summary

Test	Description	Result
1	Profile Data Persistence (Allergies, Dietary Prefs, Health Goals)	✅ Pass
2	Profile Update Immediately Affects Warnings & Recommendations	🟡 Partial Pass
3	Recommendation Results Change When Profile Details Change	🟡 Partial Pass
4	Frontend, Backend & Database Alignment	✅ Pass
5	Missing/Incomplete Profile Data Handled Safely	✅ Pass

Overall Integration Effectiveness: Moderate–Good

Notes

• Testing was conducted on the Web version (Expo w mode); real device testing may be performed if further validation is required
• Dietary preferences and health goals are confirmed stored in the database but the recommendation engine does not fully consume them — a follow-up ticket may be warranted to address the recommendation engine integration gap
