- Audio module tests
- Library module tests
- Playlist module tests
- Configuration tests
- Utility function tests
- End-to-end audio playback
- Library scanning workflow
- Playlist management workflow
- Configuration persistence
- Application startup
- Audio file playback
- Library scanning
- Playlist creation
- Settings configuration
- Basic Error Handling: Limited user feedback for errors
- No Audio Visualization: Basic playback controls only
- Limited Format Support: Core formats only, no advanced codecs
- Basic GUI: Functional but not polished
- No Streaming: Local files only
- Async Implementation: Some operations could be more async
- Error Types: Could use more specific error types
- Configuration Validation: Limited input validation
- Memory Management: Could be optimized for large libraries
- Week 1: Fix compilation, basic testing
- Week 2: Core functionality validation
- Week 3: Feature completion
- Week 4: Polish and optimization
- Application compiles without warnings
- All unit tests pass
- Basic audio playback works
- Library scanning functional
- GUI responsive and usable
Target Date: End of Week 4 Goal: Functional music player with core features working
Success Criteria:
- ✅ Clean compilation on all platforms
- ✅ Basic audio playback functional
- ✅ Library management working
- ✅ Playlist system operational
- ✅ GUI responsive and usable
- ✅ Configuration system working
