## Testing Strategy per Milestone
### TDD Cycle for Each Feature
1. **Red Phase**: Write failing test
- Define expected behavior
- Test should be minimal and focused
- Verify test fails for right reason
2. **Green Phase**: Make test pass
- Write minimal implementation
- Don't add extra functionality
- All tests must pass
3. **Refactor Phase**: Improve code
- Only after git commit
- Maintain all passing tests
- Improve structure and clarity
### Test Categories
- **Unit Tests**: Test individual functions
- **Integration Tests**: Test module interactions
- **CLI Tests**: Test command-line interface
- **Performance Tests**: Ensure speed requirements
## Quality Gates
### Before Each Commit
- [ ] All tests pass (`cargo test`)
- [ ] No Clippy warnings (`cargo clippy`)
- [ ] Code formatted (`cargo fmt --all -- --check`)
- [ ] Builds without warnings (`cargo build`)
### Before Each Milestone
- [ ] Test coverage > 85%
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Changelog updated
- [ ] No TODO comments in code
### Before Release
- [ ] All milestones complete
- [ ] Security audit passed
- [ ] Performance benchmarks met
- [ ] Cross-platform testing done
## Time Estimates
| Phase 1 | 1 day | Project setup |
| Phase 2 | 3 days | CLI and file discovery |
| Phase 3 | 3 days | Core checking logic |
| Phase 4 | 2 days | Output formatting |
| Phase 5 | 2 days | Advanced features |
| Phase 6 | 2 days | Polish and release |
| **Total** | **13 days** | Full implementation |
## Risk Mitigation
### Technical Risks
- **Large file handling**: Implement streaming early
- **Performance issues**: Profile and benchmark regularly
- **Cross-platform bugs**: Test on CI from start
### Process Risks
- **Scope creep**: Stick to MVP features first
- **Test coverage**: Enforce coverage in CI
- **Documentation drift**: Update docs with code
