Manual Test Checklists
After Playwright passes for each epic, Claude pauses and gives you a manual test checklist: a list of specific things to try in your browser. Verify that the epic works the way you intended before it merges to main.
What the Checklist Covers
Section titled “What the Checklist Covers”- The golden path for each story: the main success flow as you’d expect a user to experience it
- Key edge cases: empty states, error states, and validation failures
- Cross-story interactions: features within the epic that depend on each other
- Visual checks: layout and responsiveness where relevant to the epic
The checklist is specific to what was built in that epic. It’s not a generic regression test. It targets the exact flows and states Claude implemented.
How to Sign Off
Section titled “How to Sign Off”Work through the checklist in your browser. For each item, either confirm it passed or describe what you observed if something looks off.
If something doesn’t look right, describe it to Claude. Claude will diagnose the issue, fix it, and ask you to recheck that item before the full test suite runs.
When you’re satisfied with everything on the checklist, tell Claude to proceed. The full test suite runs, the gates run, and the epic merges to main.
Nothing merges without your explicit sign-off.
