Our Process

1

Project Setup & Architecture

Establishing development environment and project structure

  • Initialize Next.js project with TypeScript configuration
  • Set up folder structure following best practices
  • Configure ESLint, Prettier, and code quality tools
  • Implement Git workflow and branching strategy
  • Set up environment variables and configuration management
2

Component Development

Building reusable UI components based on design specifications

  • Create component library from design system
  • Implement responsive layouts using Tailwind CSS
  • Build stateful components with React hooks
  • Ensure proper prop typing with TypeScript
  • Write unit tests for component functionality
3

State Management

Implementing efficient data flow and state handling

  • Set up global state management (Redux/Context API)
  • Implement data fetching with React Query or SWR
  • Handle form state and validation
  • Manage authentication and user session state
  • Optimize re-renders and component performance
4

API Integration

Connecting frontend with backend services

  • Create API client with proper error handling
  • Implement data fetching and caching strategies
  • Handle loading states and error boundaries
  • Set up authentication tokens and headers
  • Test API integrations thoroughly
5

Performance Optimization

Ensuring fast load times and smooth user experience

  • Implement code splitting and lazy loading
  • Optimize images and assets (Next.js Image component)
  • Minimize bundle size and remove unused code
  • Implement caching strategies for static content
  • Monitor Core Web Vitals and performance metrics
6

Testing & Deployment

Quality assurance and production release

  • Write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library
  • Perform cross-browser and device testing
  • Ensure accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1)
  • Set up CI/CD pipeline for automated deployments
  • Monitor production performance and error tracking

Code Quality

At least two team members have reviewed and approved the code changes

Code follows team coding standards, style guide, and best practices

ESLint/Prettier passes with zero errors and warnings

Complex logic is well-documented with clear comments and JSDoc

All console.log statements and debug code removed from production

Testing

Minimum 80% code coverage with meaningful unit tests

All integration tests pass successfully in CI/CD pipeline

Feature tested manually across different scenarios and edge cases

Verified functionality in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

Tested on mobile devices (iOS/Android) and tablets

Existing features still work correctly after changes

Security

All user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent injection attacks

Proper authentication and authorization checks implemented

No API keys, passwords, or sensitive data exposed in code
