Phase 3 - Storage and networking

[jenniferoko]

Phase 3 — Storage and networking

Jennifer's deliverable: Review the storage and networking specs. Explain to the engineer that
block volumes and object storage are independent services — a failure in one should not block the
other. Walk through the VPC subnet dependency (subnet test depends on VPC existing).

Engineer builds: 04-storage.spec.ts (tests 23–33), 05-networking.spec.ts (tests 34–43)

Gate: All 43 tests pass. No smoke-vol-*, smoke-obj-*, smoke-vpc-*, smoke-net-*
resources remain after the run.

Phase 3 Acceptance Gate – Engineer Sign-off

Overview

The engineer may proceed to Phase 4 only after all of the following acceptance criteria have been successfully completed.

Acceptance Criteria

Category	Acceptance Criteria	Verification
Storage Spec	04-storage.spec.ts contains Tests 23–33	Code Review
Networking Spec	05-networking.spec.ts contains Tests 34–43	Code Review
Volume Lifecycle	Volume can be created, retrieved, snapshotted, and deleted successfully	Tests 24–28
Snapshot Validation	Snapshot is created from the test volume and appears in the snapshot listing	Tests 26–27
Object Storage Lifecycle	Object Storage instance can be created, queried, access keys listed, and deleted	Tests 29–33
Service Isolation	Failure of Block Storage tests does not prevent Object Storage tests from executing	Test Execution Review
VPC Lifecycle	VPC can be created, queried, subnet added, public IPs listed, and deleted	Tests 35–39
Subnet Dependency	Subnet creation occurs only after successful VPC creation	Test Order Verification
Public Network Lifecycle	Public Network can be created, queried, public IPs listed, and deleted	Tests 40–43
HTTP Responses	All endpoints return expected HTTP status codes (200, 201, 204)	Assertion Review
Assertions	Required response fields (slug, arrays, access keys, etc.) are validated	Code Review
Test Independence	Storage and Networking specs execute independently without cross-service dependencies	CI Execution
Cleanup Logic	afterAll (or equivalent teardown) executes even if earlier tests fail	Code Review
Resource Cleanup	No smoke-vol-*, smoke-obj-*, smoke-vpc-*, or smoke-net-* resources remain after execution	Manual/API Verification
Regression	All smoke tests (1–43) pass consistently in CI without flaky failures	CI Pipeline

Exit Rule

Phase 3 is considered complete only when:

• Every acceptance criterion has been satisfied.
• All Tests 23–43 pass.
• The full smoke suite (Tests 1–43) passes successfully.
• No temporary Storage or Networking resources remain.
• Cleanup has been verified.
• Jennifer has approved the implementation during code review.

Only then may the engineer begin Phase 4.
