9 checks before you launch an AI-built web app
Short summary
A practical nine-point checklist for validating AI-built web apps before launch, covering user flow definition, environment recording, authorization boundaries, retry/idempotency behavior, event ordering, partial failure states, and paired negative/positive testing. Each check includes concrete examples like testing duplicate charges and half-finished transactions. The guide emphasizes recording conditions and blockers honestly rather than declaring an app 'safe.'
- •Define a specific 3-6 screen user journey with observable pass/fail conditions before testing
- •Check authorization at server boundaries, retry/idempotency behavior, partial failure states, and event ordering
- •Run paired negative and positive tests for every fix to avoid breaking valid paths while blocking unwanted ones
