# Comprehensive Card Layout Testing Plan

**Date**: June 28, 2025, 1:22 PM  
**Task**: Comprehensive testing of card layout balance across all ThrillWiki pages and scenarios  
**Status**: INITIATED  
**Context**: User questioning whether layouts are "always balanced" - need to verify beyond Cedar Point  

## Testing Scope

### 1. Multi-Page Layout Testing
- **Homepage**: Stats section across different screen sizes
- **Multiple Park Detail Pages**: Test parks with varying data amounts
- **Ride Detail Pages**: Layout consistency verification
- **Company/Manufacturer Detail Pages**: Balance testing
- **Edge Cases**: Missing data, varying content lengths

### 2. Screen Size Testing Matrix
- **320px**: Mobile portrait (smallest)
- **480px**: Mobile landscape
- **768px**: Tablet portrait (critical breakpoint)
- **1024px**: Tablet landscape/small desktop
- **1280px**: Desktop standard
- **1440px**: Large desktop

### 3. Content Variation Testing
- Parks with missing owner information
- Parks with very long names/descriptions
- Rides with incomplete data sets
- Pages with fewer than expected cards
- Pages with more cards than typical

### 4. Specific Balance Issues to Check
- Card spacing consistency
- Awkward wrapping scenarios
- Varying content length handling
- White space issues
- Layout jump detection

## Testing Methodology

### Browser Testing Approach
1. Use browser developer tools for precise breakpoint testing
2. Navigate to various page types systematically
3. Document any problematic layouts with screenshots
4. Record specific pages and screen sizes where issues occur

### Success Criteria
- Layouts confirmed balanced across ALL page types
- No white space issues at any breakpoint
- Consistent responsive behavior regardless of content
- Any remaining issues clearly documented

### Documentation Requirements
- Record both successful and problematic layouts
- Provide specific examples of any issues found
- Update memory bank with comprehensive results
- Signal completion with detailed findings

## Test Execution Plan

### Phase 1: Homepage Testing
- Test stats section at all breakpoints
- Verify 3-card layout consistency

### Phase 2: Park Detail Pages
- Test multiple parks beyond Cedar Point
- Focus on parks with varying data amounts
- Check for missing data scenarios

### Phase 3: Ride Detail Pages
- Test rides with different data completeness
- Check layout consistency across ride types

### Phase 4: Company Detail Pages
- Test manufacturer pages
- Check for layout balance issues

### Phase 5: Edge Case Testing
- Long content scenarios
- Missing data scenarios
- Unusual content amounts

### Phase 6: Cross-Breakpoint Analysis
- Verify smooth transitions
- Check for layout jumps
- Document any inconsistencies

## Expected Outcomes

### If Layouts Are Balanced
- Document comprehensive verification
- Confirm fixes are working universally
- Update memory bank with success confirmation

### If Issues Found
- Document specific problematic scenarios
- Identify patterns in layout inconsistencies
- Note breakpoints where issues occur
- Provide recommendations for fixes
