# Product catalog QA recipes

Verify product visibility, variants, stock states and merchandising rules against a controlled catalog with known identifiers.

Use similar products as decoys. Confirm the selected SKU, availability and price after navigation rather than relying only on a familiar product image.

## Pages (10)

- [Verify returning from a product restores the intended search context](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/back-navigation-search-state.md): Open a product from filtered search results, return with browser Back, and check query, filters, sort, page, and selected result context against the navigation policy.
- [Verify combined catalog filters use the documented intersection rule](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/combined-filters-reset.md): Apply category, size, and availability filters to a controlled product set, then reset them and verify results, counts, and URL state together.
- [Verify catalog currency selection remains consistent through cart review](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/currency-selection-price-consistency.md): Switch between two configured storefront currencies and compare product prices, formatting, cart currency, and checkout review against fixed sandbox price fixtures.
- [Verify changing a filter resets an invalid catalog page](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/pagination-filter-change.md): Navigate deep into catalog results, apply a filter with fewer pages, and verify the application selects a valid page instead of showing a misleading empty catalog.
- [Verify catalog price sorting stays correct across pagination](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/price-sort-full-results.md): Sort a controlled catalog by price and traverse its result pages, checking global order, variant price policy, ties, and complete product coverage.
- [Verify product detail content stays tied to the selected catalog record](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/product-detail-content-integrity.md): Open two similar fixture products and check images, description, specifications, and purchase controls for stale content crossing between product identities.
- [Verify scheduled sale pricing changes at the configured boundary](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/sale-price-boundary.md): Use a controlled catalog clock to inspect a scheduled promotion before, during, and after its active interval, including list, detail, and cart pricing.
- [Verify catalog search finds the exact SKU without confusing similar products](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/search-exact-sku.md): Search a controlled catalog by a unique SKU and compare the result identity, variant, price, and detail destination with neighboring similar fixtures.
- [Verify unpublished catalog products disappear from public access](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/unpublished-product-direct-url.md): Unpublish a controlled product and inspect its direct URL, search results, category listings, and new-purchase eligibility under the documented visibility policy.
- [Verify unavailable variants cannot be added as available alternatives](https://vostride.com/agent-library/product-catalog/variant-availability-selection.md): Select sold-out and available variants of the same fixture product and verify price, stock messaging, add-to-cart eligibility, and committed SKU identity.

## Apply a recipe

These are test designs to adapt to an application's acceptance criteria and fixtures. They are not recorded runs or a claim that a listed application has been tested. Use the [recipe execution guide](https://vostride.com/agent-library/software-factory/turn-a-recipe-into-an-agent-qa-test.md) to author, validate, run and inspect a test.
