WannaBuild Design Phase

To translate requirements into a design blueprint, you synthesize system architecture, data models, API contracts, and tech stack decisions into a structured design.md artifact. This blueprint also includes a testing strategy and risk assessment to guide implementation.

A design.md file should include architecture sections, data models, API contracts, a testing plan, and risk assessment with mitigations. It serves as a concrete technical blueprint generated from initial project requirements.

Risk assessment and tech stack selection during the design phase involve evaluating project requirements to identify potential risks with mitigations and deciding on technology choices. This produces a risk-aware design blueprint that defines interface boundaries.

Yes, you can define API contracts and data models before implementation by generating a design specification. This process converts requirements into coherent system architecture and interface boundaries, outputting a design.md ready for the tasks phase.

The best way to structure a testing strategy within a technical design document is to integrate it directly into the design.md output alongside architecture and data models. This ensures the testing plan aligns with the defined API contracts and risk mitigations.
