Test Case: Verify Password Reset Email Is Sent Within 30 Seconds

ID: TC-1047 Author: Marcus Obi Date: 2024-03-06 Priority: High Type: Functional Linked requirement: NOVU-1751 — Password Reset Flow

---

Preconditions

• Test user account resettest+01@qa.novubank.internal exists with a verified email address
• SMTP test server (Mailtrap) is running and the inbox is empty
• User is on the login screen and is not authenticated

Test Data

Parameter	Value
Email address	resettest+01@qa.novubank.internal
Expected email subject	Reset your Novu Bank password
Maximum delivery time	30 seconds

Steps

Step	Action	Expected Result
1	Tap "Forgot password?" on the login screen	Password reset screen opens with an email input field
2	Enter resettest+01@qa.novubank.internal and tap "Send reset link"	Success toast appears: "Check your inbox — we've sent a reset link"
3	Note the timestamp shown in the toast	Timestamp is visible and readable
4	Open Mailtrap inbox within 30 seconds of step 2	Exactly one email with subject "Reset your Novu Bank password" is present
5	Check the email delivery timestamp	Email timestamp is within 30 seconds of the request in step 2
6	Open the email body and inspect the reset link	Link format is https://app.novubank.com/reset-password?token=<uuid>, link is not expired
7	Tap the reset link	Browser opens the reset-password screen with the token pre-populated

Postconditions

• A password reset token exists in the database for the test account
• The token has a 15-minute expiry timestamp
• The Mailtrap inbox contains exactly one email (no duplicates)

---

Gherkin Version

Given the user "resettest+01@qa.novubank.internal" is on the login screen
When they tap "Forgot password?" and submit their email address
Then a success toast confirms the reset link has been sent
And the reset email arrives in Mailtrap within 30 seconds
And the email contains a valid reset link in the expected format

---

Notes

• Repeat this test with an email address that does not exist in the system — the success toast should still appear (do not reveal whether an account exists).
• See TC-1048 for the expired token negative case.
• Mailtrap credentials are in the team password vault under "QA — Mailtrap."
