Participants will:
- Define quality criteria for design system components.
- Create repeatable validation protocols.
- Integrate accessibility into validation.
- Establish documentation standards.
- Plan validation test automation.
You'll get:
- A validation protocol for component quality.
- Clear quality criteria across visual, accessible, and code aspects.
- A repeatable component sign-off process.
- Increased confidence in component reliability.
Here are some tips:
- Automate what you can, but don't skip manual review. You'll miss important edge cases if you do.
- Document edge cases discovered during validation. This prevents future regressions.
- Build validation into the contribution process. Make it a habit.
- Celebrate quality, not just speed. This encourages thoroughness.
