Assess Hardening Needs
Identify weaknesses and edge cases:
-
Test with extreme inputs:
- Very long text (names, descriptions, titles)
- Very short text (empty, single character)
- Special characters (emoji, RTL text, accents)
- Large numbers (millions, billions)
- Many items (1000+ list items, 50+ options)
- No data (empty states)
-
Test error scenarios:
- Network failures (offline, slow, timeout)
- API errors (400, 401, 403, 404, 500)
- Validation errors
- Permission errors
- Rate limiting
- Concurrent operations
-
