Product Designers should test the code

Most designers: design → pass the design to the engineer → done

But in reality? The developers might have missed some minor details.

So, you, the designer, are responsible for ensuring the quality.

You should test the code while the engineers are building the design.

Step 1: Ask engineers to help you install the app locally

• Engineers can build the app locally on their laptop

• Idea: Ask engineers to install the app locally for you

Step 2: Learn how to pull the git

• When engineers push a new code, you should learn to "pull" that.

• Idea: You can review the latest version of the implementation.

Step 3: Test all interactions

• Go through all the user flow.

• Pay attention to the details. If the interaction feels off, take a note

• This is a golden opportunity to refine the design

Step 4: Make a summary of notes

• Summarize all the changes you think are necessary

• Prioritize them

• Send it to the engineers

• They'll love you.
