Quality, Testing, and Roadmap

Quality philosophy

A feature is complete only when its end-to-end behavior works, relevant tests pass, limitations are documented, and the project’s protected integration boundaries remain intact. UI presence is not evidence of implementation.

Recommended delivery phases

Phase 0 — Repository audit and technical validation

  • Inventory stack, dependencies, state, renderer, data model, save/open flow and public contracts.
  • Document existing working functionality.
  • Identify protected integration zones.
  • Establish baseline tests and a prioritized gap analysis.
  • Validate the riskiest renderer, layout, persistence and packaging choices.

Exit gate: the team understands the current implementation and has an approved plan before feature refactoring.

Phase 1 — Minimum viable design core

  • Application shell and workspace panels
  • Canonical document schema and scene graph
  • Canvas, shapes, text, frames and selection
  • Move, resize, pan and zoom
  • Layers and property inspector
  • Command/transaction engine and undo/redo
  • Platform-aware shortcut registry
  • Save, reopen and recovery

Exit gate: a user can create, edit, save, reopen and recover a design without data loss.

Phase 2 — Layout and design system

  • Auto layout and constraints
  • Variables, tokens and styles
  • Components, variants and instances
  • Asset management
  • Responsive preview and supported import/export

Exit gate: layout and component semantics survive save/reopen and remain consistent across canvas and preview.

Phase 3 — React compiler

  • Typed IR
  • React/TypeScript and style emitters
  • Token and asset packaging
  • Diagnostics and build validation
  • Repeatable export fixtures

Exit gate: representative fixtures compile into runnable projects with known limitations reported.

Phase 4 — AI design workflow

  • Model gateway and context retrieval
  • Typed plan schema
  • Safe command executor
  • Preview/diff and approval
  • Evaluation and repair tests

Exit gate: AI performs scoped, reversible edits on real document objects and passes integrity tests.

Phase 5 — Prototype and website workflow

  • Interaction graph and runtime
  • Preview/player and navigation
  • Animation, variables and conditions in supported scope
  • Diagnostics and scenario tests
  • Responsive website preview

Exit gate: tested prototype journeys behave consistently, and unsupported behavior is reported.

Phase 6 — Ecosystem and collaboration

  • Shared libraries and access controls
  • Comments and collaboration where approved
  • Plugin SDK, scripting and CLI
  • Expanded deployment/model-serving controls

Exit gate: permissions, concurrency, offline behavior and recovery have defined tests.

Required test layers

  • Unit: geometry, hierarchy rules, layout, expressions, serialization, command reducers, compiler emitters.
  • Integration: canvas ↔ layers ↔ inspector, AI ↔ commands, project store ↔ schema migrations, prototype runtime ↔ document.
  • End-to-end: create/edit/save/reopen/export and complete prototype journeys.
  • Visual regression: representative frames and responsive layouts.
  • Performance: large documents, layer trees, selection/hit testing, pan/zoom, and repeated edits.
  • Accessibility: keyboard navigation, focus, labels, contrast, and reduced motion.
  • Security/robustness: malformed imports, invalid AI plans, missing assets, interrupted saves and unsupported export semantics.

Definition of done

  • All visible controls in scope work or are intentionally unavailable with a clear reason.
  • Mutations are validated and undoable where appropriate.
  • Save/reopen and recovery tests pass.
  • Cross-surface state stays synchronized.
  • AI edits pass through validation and commands.
  • Exported projects build and run independently.
  • Prototype behavior is tested in the player.
  • Unsupported features produce diagnostics.
  • Documentation, changelog, parity matrix and known limitations are updated.
  • Protected-zone integrity checks pass.
