Summery:
Perform QA checks to ensure that contribution creation (including pending and completed statuses) correctly triggers all expected hooks and downstream processes.

Scope / Areas to Test:

CiviCRM Contribution Creation:

• Verify that contributions are created with correct status (Pending, Completed, or Failed).
• Confirm all expected metadata (e.g., transaction ID, payment method) is stored properly.

Civi Hooks / Post-Processing:

• Ensure any hooks or related triggers fire correctly after contribution creation or status update.
• Validate that webhook-based updates also trigger these hooks when a pending payment becomes completed.

Acoustic Export:

• Confirm that new contributions (only send when complete) are correctly queued/exported to Acoustic.
• Check that no duplicate or missing records occur.

Email / Trigger Logic:

• Verify Thank You email is not sent for pending status.
• Verify Thank You email is sent upon completion.
• Confirm no email is sent for failed transactions.

Acceptance Criteria:

• All hooks fire as expected on contribution creation and updates.
• Acoustic exports reflect the latest contribution state accurately.
• Email triggers match the defined business logic.
• Logs show no unhandled errors.
