Manual test script

Some things are very difficult to test programmatically. Also, if you don't have adequate test coverage, a good first step is a comprehensive manual test script! https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/web-application-test-strategy/

Conversation view:
  Last seen indicator:
    - Make window small, switch away from conversation, receive messages that would more than fill up the window, switch back to conversation: the 'N unread messages' text should be at the top of the window, most recent message should be off-screen. You should see a highlighted scroll down button in the bottom-right.
      (do this with conversation already loaded and with conversation not previously loaded )
    - Receive more messages while this is showing - the number should increment, and the window should not scroll
    - Scroll to the bottom of the window, receive more messages - each message should scroll the window down, so the latest message stays at the bottom of the window.
    - Increase the size of the window so that the 'N unread messages' text is showing. It should reflect the total count of messages below it
    - Send a message, and the 'N unread messages' text should disappear
    - Switch conversations, receive messages while not displaying conversation
    - Switch back to conversation, and the 'N unread messages' text should show
    - Switch away from conversation and back, the scroll position should be the same but the 'N unread messages' text should not be showing
    - Receive message while showing conversation - no 'N unread messages' text should appear
    - ADVANCED: Set fetch limit to a low number, like 3. Load the application, and don't select the conversation. Receive more than four new messages in that conversation. Select the conversation. The last seen indicator should reflect the total number of new messages and all of them should be visible.

  Scrolling:
    - If scrolled to bottom of a conversation, should stay there when a new message comes in
    - If scrolled to the middle of a conversation, should stay there when a new message comes in
    - When you've scrolled up an entire screen's worth, a scroll down button in the bottom right should appear`

  Scroll-down button:
    - Clicking it takes you to the bottom of the conversation, makes the button disappear
    - If a new message comes in while it is already showing, it highlights (darker in light them, lighter in dark theme)
    - If a new message comes in while not at the bottom of the converstation (but buttin is not already showing), it should appear in highlighted form
