Front-End Development Checklist

Functional Testing

• Verify all buttons, links, and forms are functioning as expected.
• Ensure all interactive elements respond correctly (hover, click, focus, etc.).
• Test all form validations (required fields, correct input formats, etc.).
• Confirm data is displayed correctly and updates in real-time if applicable.

Visual and UI/UX

• Check alignment, spacing, and layout consistency with design specifications.
• Ensure font sizes, colors, and styles match the design mockups.
• Test responsiveness on different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop).
• Verify the screen looks consistent across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Accessibility

• Ensure all images have appropriate alt text.
• Check that the screen is navigable using the keyboard.
• Confirm that color contrasts meet accessibility standards.
• Use a screen reader to test the accessibility of the screen.

Performance

• Verify that the screen loads quickly and efficiently.
• Check for any large images or files that can be optimized.
• Ensure lazy loading is implemented for images and other media if applicable.
• Test the screen's performance using tools like Google Lighthouse or GTmetrix.

Code Quality

• Review the code for readability and maintainability.
• Ensure there are no console errors or warnings.
• Confirm that the code adheres to the project's coding standards and guidelines.
• Remove any commented-out code or unnecessary console logs.

Security

• Validate that sensitive data is not exposed in the frontend.
• Ensure that input fields are protected against XSS attacks.
• Confirm that API keys and sensitive information are not hard-coded.

Documentation

• Update any relevant documentation to reflect the changes made.
• Add comments to the code where necessary to explain complex logic.
• Document any third-party libraries or plugins used and why.

Final Review

• Conduct a peer review or code review with another team member.
• Ensure all feedback from the review is addressed.
• Confirm that all tasks and requirements from the ticket or user story are complete.
• Communicate to the QA team that the screen is ready for testing.
