Your assignment

A fictional bookstore adds a SAVE10 coupon. The rule is 10% off merchandise subtotals of at least $50, before tax, excluding shipping. Use the supplied cases as a specification exercise; build a small calculator or test a local implementation.

1. Map the risks

Identify five risks, including threshold rounding, repeated coupon use and invalid quantities. Rank impact and likelihood.

2. Calculate expected results

Build a test matrix for $49.99, $50.00 and $50.01 subtotals, blank coupon, wrong coupon and repeated application. State the rounding rule you assume.

3. Write actionable defects

Using the supplied observed results, document the coupon threshold bug and duplicated-discount bug. Include steps, expected and actual values.

4. Recommend a release decision

Summarize covered scenarios, unresolved questions and blockers. Attach the matrix and two defect reports.

Review your submission

Choose 0 = missing, 1 = partial, or 2 = demonstrated with evidence. The result is your self-assessment.

Reviewer guidance

At $50.00 the discount is $5.00 and the pre-tax merchandise total is $45.00. Reapplying the coupon must not compound the discount. Clarify rounding and tax calculation with the product owner; do not silently invent business rules.
