Aglet

Verify notification channel labels and delivery promises

Verification should prove that each channel label tells the truth about where and when a notification appears. Test enabled and muted choices, one event example, and a timing boundary. Inspect narrow copy and status feedback so context survives the settings layout.

Check whether the outcome improved

  1. Check the label choice

    Open settings and select each scoped channel. Confirm the label, example, timing, and saved state make the resulting event predictable. Record a channel that remains unavailable or permission controlled instead of implying guaranteed delivery.

  2. Check the event outcome

    Follow a representative event through in-app or available delivery and compare location, timing, and copy with the setting. Mute and re-enable it. Keep a channel behavior difference visible when the platform controls the final presentation.

  3. Review copy hierarchy

    Inspect help text, confirmation, status, narrow wrapping, and navigation return. State tested channels and events. Leave a partial pass when actual external delivery or platform settings cannot be observed directly.

What to carry forward

Verification passes when labels, examples, saved choices, and observed outcomes agree within the documented channel boundary. If a platform or event type is untested, state it. Clear copy cannot compensate for a channel that behaves differently than the settings promise.
