Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<UserStory> NOT003: View Technician Notifications </UserStory>

<Changes>
    1. Added MenuHelper.h to the project for shared notification viewing helper support.
    2. Updated TechnicianMenu.cpp to include MenuHelper.h and route viewNotifications() through the shared notification handler.
</Changes>

<Test>

    Precondition:
    1. Technician user exists and is logged into the system.
    2. Technician has one or more notifications available.
    3. “View Notifications” option is visible in the Technician menu.

    Steps:
    1. Navigate to Technician Menu.
    2. Select “View Notifications”.
    3. Verify that the system displays a list of notifications showing title, message, and timestamp.
    4. Select a notification to view full details.
       - Verify that the selected notification is displayed and deleted after viewing.
    5. Return to the notification list or reopen “View Notifications”.
       - Verify that the previously viewed notification is no longer present.

</Test>
