Practice: Quality Assurance Checklist

Mini QA Scenario Check: * Task: Imagine you are reviewing a prototype for a simple weather app. You notice the following: 1. On the "Today" screen, the temperature is displayed in a very light grey on a white background. 2. When you click the "Next 7 Days" button, nothing happens. 3. The weather icons (sun, clouds, rain) appear in slightly different sizes on different screens. * Instructions: * For each observation, identify which specific item(s) from the Quality Assurance Checklist are being violated. * Briefly explain why each violation is a problem for the user experience. * For each violation, suggest one concrete action to fix it.

The Proactive QA Designer: * Task: You are about to start building the high-fidelity prototype for a new "Study Planner" app, and you want to be proactive about quality. * Instructions: * Before even starting to design, describe two things related to "Quality Assurance" that you could do during the setup phase (referencing "4. Preparatory Steps") to make your QA checklist checks easier later. * During the design process, how can building Components with defined variants help you meet multiple items on your QA checklist more efficiently than if you designed each element from scratch every time? (Mention at least two benefits for QA).
