Code Quality Standards

• Clean, readable code
• Consistent naming conventions
• Proper indentation and formatting
• Modular and reusable components
• Error handling and validation

// Good code example
function calculateTotal(items) {
if (!Array.isArray(items)) {
throw new Error('Items must be an array');
}
return items.reduce((total, item) => {
return total + (item.price * item.quantity);
}, 0);
}
// Consistent naming
const userProfile = {};
const getUserData = () => {};
const isAuthenticated = true;

Testing Strategy

// Unit testing
describe('Calculator', () => {
  test('adds two numbers', () => {
    expect(add(2, 3)).toBe(5);
  });
});
// Integration testing
test('user registration flow', async () => {
  const user = await registerUser(testData);
  expect(user.email).toBe(testData.email);
});
// Manual testing checklist
✓ All features work as expected
✓ Responsive design on different devices
✓ Cross-browser compatibility
✓ Accessibility testing

Performance Optimization

• Image optimization and lazy loading
• CSS and JavaScript minification
• Code splitting and bundling
• Caching strategies
• CDN usage

// Image optimization
<img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Description">
// CSS optimization
/* Minified CSS */
.header{background:#fff;padding:20px}
// JavaScript optimization
<script src="app.js" defer></script>
// Performance monitoring
performance.mark('app-start');
performance.measure('app-load', 'app-start');
