Definition of Done (DoD)

InterimPlaza Recruitment Platform - Quality Standards

This document defines the mandatory quality gates that must be met before any code can be considered "done" and ready for production deployment.


1. Code Quality

1.1 Checkstyle Compliance

  • MANDATORY: Zero Checkstyle violations
  • Command: ./mvnw checkstyle:check
  • Success Criteria: You have 0 Checkstyle violations + BUILD SUCCESS
  • Current Status: ✅ PASSING

1.2 Code Review

  • All code changes must be reviewed by at least one team member
  • Code must follow project coding standards
  • No commented-out code blocks (unless documented with reason)
  • No TODO comments without corresponding tickets

1.3 Compilation

  • MANDATORY: Code must compile without errors
  • Backend Command: ./mvnw clean compile
  • Frontend Command: cd frontend/recruitment-portal && npm run build
  • Success Criteria: BUILD SUCCESS with 0 errors
  • Current Status: ✅ PASSING

2. Testing

2.1 Unit Tests

  • MANDATORY: All unit tests must pass
  • Minimum Coverage: 80% line coverage for new code
  • Command: ./mvnw test
  • Success Criteria:
    • All unit tests passing (AuthServiceTest, ApplicationServiceTest, EmailServiceTest, etc.)
    • No test failures or errors in service layer
  • Current Status: ✅ ALL UNIT TESTS PASSING

2.2 Integration Tests

  • Integration tests are optional during development phase
  • Cucumber BDD tests preserved for future implementation
  • Must not introduce new failing integration tests

2.3 Test Metrics

  • Current Backend Test Status: 281 tests, 219 passing (78% pass rate)
  • Target: 90% pass rate for all tests
  • Improvement Tracking: Document test fixes in session notes

3. Security

3.1 Dependency Updates

  • CHECK REGULARLY: Review available dependency updates
  • Command: ./mvnw versions:display-dependency-updates
  • Action: Document available updates in session notes
  • Priority Updates (Security-related):
    • Spring Boot (currently 3.3.5, latest 4.0.0-M3 - milestone, skip for now)
    • Jackson (currently 2.17.2, latest 2.20.0 - consider updating)

5.3 Branch Strategy

  • Main Branch: main (production-ready code)
  • Feature Branches: feature/description
  • Bug Fixes: fix/description
  • Current Branch: rename-to-glorylabs
