Test & Verify
Manually test each implementation step
text
TESTING CHECKLIST:
Run the application:
- npm run dev / rails server / etc.
- Check browser console for errors
- Check terminal for warnings
Verify functionality:
✅ Does it work in the happy path?
✅ Does it handle errors gracefully?
✅ Are there any console warnings?
✅ Does it work on mobile viewport?
✅ Is the UI accessible (keyboard navigation)?
Test edge cases:
- What happens with bad input?
- What happens with empty input?
- What happens when services fail?
- What happens with slow connections?
If broken:
- Have AI fix it before proceeding
- Don't accumulate broken code💡 Manual testing catches issues AI testing might miss
⚡ Test immediately while the context is fresh
📌 Edge case testing prevents production surprises
🎯 Fix issues now - they compound if left alone
