## User Scenarios & Testing _(mandatory)_

<!--
  IMPORTANT: User stories should be PRIORITIZED as user journeys ordered by importance.
  Each user story/journey must be INDEPENDENTLY TESTABLE - meaning if you implement just ONE of them,
  you should still have a viable MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that delivers value.

  Assign priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.) to each story, where P1 is the most critical.
  Think of each story as a standalone slice of functionality that can be:
  - Developed independently
  - Tested independently
  - Deployed independently
  - Demonstrated to users independently
-->

### User Story 1 - Zero-Downtime Deployment (Priority: P1)

As a DevOps engineer, I need to deploy updates for all services (NAP-DMS applications, databases, monitoring, Gitea, n8n, RocketChat, and supporting services) without interrupting user access to any system components.

**Why this priority**: Critical for business continuity - system cannot afford downtime during regular maintenance windows.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by deploying a test application version using blue-green containers and verifying traffic switches seamlessly without user session interruption.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** a running production environment, **When** I deploy a new version, **Then** users continue accessing the system without interruption
2. **Given** a deployment failure, **When** the rollback is triggered, **Then** the system immediately switches back to the previous stable version

---

### User Story 2 - Automated Backup & Recovery (Priority: P1)

As a system administrator, I need automated daily backups of all services data (NAP-DMS applications, databases, monitoring, Gitea, n8n, RocketChat, configurations, and supporting services) and the ability to restore the entire system within 4 hours of a catastrophic failure.

**Why this priority**: Essential for data protection and business continuity compliance with document management regulations.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by running backup procedures and performing a full system restore in a test environment to verify all data is recoverable.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** the backup schedule is configured, **When** the daily backup runs, **Then** all databases, files, and configurations are successfully backed up
2. **Given** a system failure occurs, **When** I initiate recovery, **Then** the entire system is restored to its last known good state within 4 hours

---

### User Story 3 - Real-time Monitoring & Alerting (Priority: P1)

As an on-call engineer, I need to receive immediate alerts when any system components (NAP-DMS applications, databases, monitoring, Gitea, n8n, RocketChat, and supporting services) fail or performance degrades below acceptable thresholds.

**Why this priority**: Prevents minor issues from becoming major outages and ensures rapid response to system problems.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by simulating various failure scenarios and verifying appropriate alerts are generated and delivered to the correct channels.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** monitoring is active, **When** a service becomes unresponsive, **Then** an alert is sent within 30 seconds
2. **Given** system resources exceed 80% utilization, **When** the threshold is crossed, **Then** a performance alert is generated with actionable diagnostics

---

### User Story 4 - Container Security Hardening (Priority: P2)

As a security administrator, I need all containers (NAP-DMS applications, databases, monitoring, Gitea, n8n, RocketChat, and supporting services) to run with minimal privileges and no exposed secrets to maintain compliance with security policies.

**Why this priority**: Prevents privilege escalation attacks and protects sensitive configuration data.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by running security scans on all containers and verifying they meet hardening requirements.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** containers are deployed, **When** I run a security audit, **Then** all containers pass privilege escalation and secret exposure checks
2. **Given** new containers are added, **When** they are deployed, **Then** they automatically inherit security hardening policies

---

### User Story 5 - Infrastructure as Code Management (Priority: P2)

As a DevOps engineer, I need to manage all infrastructure configurations (NAP-DMS applications, databases, monitoring, Gitea, n8n, RocketChat, and supporting services) through version-controlled code files rather than manual server changes.

**Why this priority**: Ensures consistency across environments and enables reproducible infrastructure deployments.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by deploying a complete environment from code and verifying it matches the production configuration.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** infrastructure code changes, **When** I apply the changes, **Then** the environment configuration matches exactly what's defined in the code
2. **Given** a new environment is needed, **When** I deploy from code, **Then** the environment is created with all required services and configurations

### Edge Cases

- What happens when network connectivity between QNAP and ASUSTOR fails during backup operations?
- How does system handle container registry authentication failures during deployment?
- What happens when Docker Compose files contain syntax errors during environment startup?
- How does system handle SSL certificate expiration for reverse proxy services?
- What happens when monitoring services become unavailable while system is running?
- How does system handle storage space exhaustion on production servers?
- What happens when multiple deployment processes are initiated simultaneously?
- How does system handle database connection pool exhaustion during high load?
- What happens when automated security updates conflict with custom container configurations?
- How does system handle partial backup failures where some services complete but others fail?
- How does system handle Email SMTP service failures for alert notifications?
- What happens when Let's Encrypt certificate renewal fails due to network issues?
