Context

This document outlines the research and plans for checkout testing as part of the work to improve checkout before putting cGrants on autopilot. The goal is to identify two sets of tests:

• pre-autopilot testing: a single round of testing to identify any issues with the cGrants platform before it goes into autopilot
• standard testing playbook: a set of standard testing configurations that the team will run whenever changes are made to the checkout flow

Testing Prioritization

The team identified a matrix of checkout configurations that can be seen at the bottom of this page. This section explains how we prioritized which of those configurations to test.

Integration Categories + Chains

There are effectively three macro categories of checkout integrations currently enabled on the cGrants platform:

• Ethereum via Web3 Wallet (Mainnet/Standard, Polygon, and zkSync)
• Cross-chain Extensions (Algorand, Polkadot, Kusama, Binance, Harmony, RSK)
• Cross-chain Scan QRs (ZCash, Celo, Zilliqa)

However, not all of these categories have been used frequently over the past 5 grants rounds — in fact, only ~.01% of all transactions on the platform since Jan 1, 2021 have been outside of the Ethereum ecosystem. Note that the “null” checkout_types are transactions recorded in our system for when Gitcoin pays out at the end of a round:

• Metabase queries
