1. Introduction

The purpose of this report is to document the results of the initial testing phase for SayPro’s new M&E system, including functionality, performance, data accuracy, and user interface usability. Testing was conducted across several modules of the system, including data collection, integration with existing platforms, reporting, and user experience. The goal was to verify that the system meets SayPro’s expectations and works smoothly within the existing marketing workflows.

2. Testing Methodology

The testing process involved a series of steps to ensure the functionality and reliability of the M&E system. The testing phases included:

• Unit Testing: Testing individual system components and their basic functionalities.
• Integration Testing: Ensuring the M&E system is properly integrated with external platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, CRM, email systems, social media).
• User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Involving a small group of marketing team members to verify the system’s user interface and reporting capabilities.
• Performance Testing: Ensuring the system can handle large volumes of data and generate real-time reports.
• Security Testing: Verifying the system’s security measures, including data privacy and user authentication.

Test data was collected from actual marketing campaigns and historical data to simulate real-world conditions.

3. Key Test Scenarios and Results

3.1. Data Collection and Integration

• Test Scenario 1: Validate data import from Google Analytics and CRM (Salesforce).
  • Expected Result: Data from Google Analytics and CRM should be correctly imported and displayed in the M&E system.
  • Result: Pass – All data imported correctly with no discrepancies. Conversion data, website traffic, and lead generation metrics are displayed accurately.
  • Issue Identified: Minor delay in CRM data syncing during high traffic periods. Resolved by optimizing integration scripts.
• Test Scenario 2: Validate social media data integration (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).
  • Expected Result: Metrics such as engagement (likes, shares, comments), clicks, and conversions should be accurately pulled from social media platforms.
  • Result: Pass – Social media metrics were integrated correctly. Engagement data matched expected values.
  • Issue Identified: Small discrepancy in Instagram data, which was found to be due to an API limitation on Instagram’s side. No changes needed on the system side.

3.2. Reporting and Dashboard Functionality

• Test Scenario 3: Test real-time dashboard updates with live data.
  • Expected Result: Dashboards should update in real-time when new campaign data is available.
  • Result: Pass – Dashboards were updated in real-time as new data was entered. Campaign performance metrics were accurate.
  • Issue Identified: Initial loading time for dashboards was longer than expected due to high-volume data. Optimized backend processes to reduce loading time by 20%.
• Test Scenario 4: Generate a report for campaign performance (ROI, conversion rate, cost-per-acquisition).
  • Expected Result: Reports should be customizable and display metrics for specific date ranges.
  • Result: Pass – Reports were successfully generated with the expected data points. Customization worked as intended.
  • Issue Identified: Some users experienced a formatting issue when exporting reports to Excel. This issue was resolved with a minor update to the export functionality.

3.3. User Interface and Experience

• Test Scenario 5: User interface (UI) usability testing for non-technical staff.
  • Expected Result: The UI should be intuitive, with easy navigation and accessibility for users with varying technical expertise.
  • Result: Pass – 95% of users found the UI easy to navigate, and they were able to generate reports and track campaign performance without issues.
  • Issue Identified: A few users struggled with advanced reporting features. Additional training materials were created to address this gap.
• Test Scenario 6: Verify user roles and permissions.
  • Expected Result: Users should only have access to data and functions according to their roles (e.g., marketing team, management, data analysts).
  • Result: Pass – Permissions were correctly set up, and users could only access their designated data and tools.
  • Issue Identified: A minor permission glitch occurred for a test user group, where some report generation options were restricted. Resolved by adjusting user group settings.

3.4. Performance Testing

• Test Scenario 7: Load testing for high-volume data processing.
  • Expected Result: The system should handle large data volumes and not experience slowdowns during peak traffic times.
  • Result: Pass – System successfully processed up to 500,000 data entries without significant performance issues.
  • Issue Identified: Slight delays in data processing during a high-load test (exceeding 1 million entries). This issue is being addressed by optimizing data queries.

3.5. Security Testing

• Test Scenario 8: Test data security measures (encryption, authentication, data privacy).
  • Expected Result: All data should be encrypted, and only authenticated users should have access to the system.
  • Result: Pass – Data encryption and authentication mechanisms were verified to be working effectively.
  • Issue Identified: No security vulnerabilities were detected during testing. Periodic audits will be conducted to ensure continued security compliance.
