# QA Acceptance Baseline Plan

Date: 2026-03-27
Owner: QA Engineer

## Objective

Create the first acceptance matrix and cross-platform smoke plan for Redis GUI V1, based only on repository evidence.

## Outputs

- `docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md`
- `docs/qa/cross-platform-smoke-plan.md`
- `docs/qa/test-strategy.md`
- `docs/qa/defect-severity.md`
- `docs/qa/release-readiness-checklist.md`

## Immediate QA Priorities

1. Keep blocked acceptance items visible until product entrypoints exist.
2. Require a reproducible seed or demo path before any feature is marked accepted.
3. Require at least one smoke run per supported OS before release sign-off.

## Known Blockers

- `pnpm run desktop:tauri:build:all` still fails in the AppImage stage with `failed to run linuxdeploy`.
- Linux `.deb` and `.rpm` bundles now exist, but macOS and Windows artifact evidence is still absent.
- The local fixture and smoke runbook are reproducible, but saved Tauri-window smoke evidence is still missing.
- The current QA environment still has no GUI-capable `DISPLAY`, `WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, or `xvfb-run`, so real-window screenshot capture is blocked in this session even though the desktop binary is built.

## Alignment

- Product acceptance source: `HAC-2` issue scope and completion comment remain the current acceptance baseline for connect, browse, search, edit, and command console flows.
- CTO priority source: `HAC-15` is now the high-priority owner for Tauri build, packaging, local smoke steps, and Redis fixture conventions.
- QA baseline closure for this plan is now materially achieved on Linux through the shared docs and repeatable smoke path; broader product release sign-off remains downstream of `HAC-15`, backend feature issues `HAC-5` to `HAC-7`, and frontend feature issues `HAC-9` to `HAC-11`.
