</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Deep Dive: Figma MCP Integration</strong></summary>

### Design Validation Workflow

**Prerequisites:**
- Figma MCP server configured
- Access to Figma design files
- Figma URLs for components/pages

**Process:**

1. **Get Design Specs from Figma**
```
"Get the button specifications from Figma file [URL]"

Response includes:
- Dimensions (width, height)
- Colors (background, text, border)
- Typography (font, size, weight)
- Spacing (padding, margin)
- Border radius
- States (default, hover, active, disabled)
```

2. **Compare Implementation**
```
TC: Primary Button Visual Validation
1. Inspect primary button in browser dev tools
2. Compare against Figma specs:
   - Dimensions: 120x40px
   - Border-radius: 8px
   - Background color: #0066FF
   - Font: 16px Medium #FFFFFF
3. Document discrepancies
```

3. **Create Bug if Mismatch**
```
BUG: Primary button color doesn't match design
Severity: Medium
Expected (Figma): #0066FF
Actual (Implementation): #0052CC
Screenshot: [attached]
Figma link: [specific component]
```

### What to Validate

| Element | What to Check | Tool |
|---------|---------------|------|
| Colors | Hex values exact | Browser color picker |
| Spacing | Padding/margin px | DevTools computed styles |
| Typography | Font, size, weight | DevTools font panel |
| Layout | Width, height, position | DevTools box model |
| States | Hover, active, focus | Manual interaction |
| Responsive | Breakpoint behavior | DevTools device mode |

### Example Queries
```
"Get button specifications from Figma design [URL]"
"Compare navigation menu implementation against Figma design"
"Extract spacing values for dashboard layout from Figma"
"List all color tokens used in Figma design system"
```

### Suite Structure

| Suite Type | Duration | Frequency | Coverage |
|------------|----------|-----------|----------|
| Smoke | 15-30 min | Daily | Critical paths only |
| Targeted | 30-60 min | Per change | Affected areas |
| Full | 2-4 hours | Weekly/Release | Comprehensive |
| Sanity | 10-15 min | After hotfix | Quick validation |

### Building a Regression Suite

**Step 1: Identify Critical Paths**
- What can users NOT live without?
- What generates revenue?
- What handles sensitive data?
- What's used most frequently?

**Step 2: Prioritize Test Cases**

| Priority | Description | Must Run |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| P0 | Business-critical, security | Always |
| P1 | Major features, common flows | Weekly+ |
| P2 | Minor features, edge cases | Releases |

**Step 3: Execution Order**
1. Smoke first - if fails, stop and fix build
2. P0 tests next - must pass before proceeding
3. P1 then P2 - track all failures
4. Exploratory - find unexpected issues

### Pass/Fail Criteria

**PASS:**
- All P0 tests pass
- 90%+ P1 tests pass
- No critical bugs open

**FAIL (Block Release):**
- Any P0 test fails
- Critical bug discovered
- Security vulnerability
- Data loss scenario

**CONDITIONAL:**
- P1 failures with workarounds
- Known issues documented
- Fix plan in place

<summary><strong>Best Practices</strong></summary>

### Test Case Writing

**DO:**
- Be specific and unambiguous
- Include expected results for each step
- Test one thing per test case
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Keep test cases maintainable

**DON'T:**
- Assume knowledge
- Make test cases too long
- Skip preconditions
- Forget edge cases
- Leave expected results vague

### Bug Reporting

**DO:**
- Provide clear reproduction steps
- Include screenshots/videos
- Specify exact environment details
- Describe impact on users
- Link to Figma for UI bugs

**DON'T:**
- Report without reproduction steps
- Use vague descriptions
- Skip environment details
- Forget to assign priority
- Duplicate existing bugs

### Regression Testing

**DO:**
- Automate repetitive tests when possible
- Maintain regression suite regularly
- Prioritize critical paths
- Run smoke tests frequently
- Update suite after each release

**DON'T:**
- Skip regression before releases
- Let suite become outdated
- Test everything every time
- Ignore failed regression tests
