npm run build

# Preview production build
npm run preview

# Visit http://localhost:4173
```

**Test Cases:**
- [ ] Application loads without errors
- [ ] All routes are accessible
- [ ] Assets load correctly (CSS, JS, images)
- [ ] No console errors
- [ ] Bundle size is reasonable (<500KB)

### 2. Authentication Testing

#### Login Flow
```
Test Case: Successful Login
1. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/login
2. Enter credentials: exec@aiistech.com / password123
3. Verify redirect to /dashboard
4. Verify user info displays correctly
5. Verify role-specific dashboard loads

Expected: ✅ User logged in, dashboard displays
```

#### Token Management
```
Test Case: Token Expiry & Refresh
1. Login successfully
2. Wait 15+ minutes (access token expiry)
3. Make an API request
4. Verify token refresh happens automatically
5. Verify request succeeds

Expected: ✅ Seamless token refresh, no user interruption
```

#### Protected Routes
```
Test Case: Unauthorized Access
1. Clear browser storage (localStorage)
2. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/dashboard
3. Verify redirect to /login

Expected: ✅ Redirect to login page
```

#### Logout
```
Test Case: Logout
1. Login successfully
2. Click logout button
3. Verify redirect to /login
4. Verify tokens cleared from localStorage
5. Try accessing /dashboard
6. Verify redirect to /login

Expected: ✅ Full logout, session cleared
```

### 3. Role-Based Access Testing

Test each role sees correct dashboard:

| Role | Email | Expected KPIs |
|------|-------|---------------|
| EXECUTIVE | exec@aiistech.com | Cost Savings YTD, Revenue (PSA), Automation Rate, Compliance |
| FINANCE | finance@aiistech.com | Revenue, Cost Savings, FTE Hours Freed, ROI |
| OPERATIONS | ops@aiistech.com | Process Volume, Cycle Time, Success Rate, Bot Uptime |
| IT | it@aiistech.com | Bot Uptime, Error Rate, System Health, Active Alerts |

### 4. Browser Compatibility Testing

Test on:
- [ ] Chrome (latest)
- [ ] Firefox (latest)
- [ ] Safari (latest)
- [ ] Edge (latest)
- [ ] Mobile Safari (iOS)

## 🚀 Production Deployment Steps

### Phase 1: Backend Setup (Critical - Replace Mock)

1. **Deploy Real Backend API**
   ```bash
   # Option 1: Use existing backend (if available)
   # Option 2: Deploy mock backend with production configs
   # Option 3: Integrate with existing Identity & Access Service
   ```

2. **Configure Production Settings**
   - Strong JWT secrets (use environment variables)
   - Password hashing (bcrypt)
   - Database connection (replace in-memory users)
   - Rate limiting
   - Logging and monitoring

3. **Secure API Endpoints**
   - HTTPS only
   - CORS restricted to production domain
   - API key authentication (if needed)
   - Request validation

### Phase 2: Frontend Deployment

1. **Update Environment Variables**
   ```env
   VITE_API_URL=https://api.production.com/api
   ```

2. **Build Production Bundle**
   ```bash
   npm run build
   ```

3. **Deploy to Hosting Platform**

   **Option A: Vercel** (Recommended - Easy)
   ```bash
   npm install -g vercel
   vercel --prod
   ```

   **Option B: Netlify**
   ```bash
   npm install -g netlify-cli
   netlify deploy --prod --dir=dist
   ```

   **Option C: AWS S3 + CloudFront**
   ```bash
   aws s3 sync dist/ s3://your-bucket-name
   aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id YOUR_ID --paths "/*"
   ```

4. **Configure DNS & SSL**
   - Point domain to hosting platform
   - Enable SSL certificate (auto with Vercel/Netlify)
   - Verify HTTPS works

5. **Test Production Deployment**
   - Visit production URL
   - Run through all test cases
   - Verify API connectivity
   - Check browser console for errors

### Phase 3: Monitoring & Maintenance

1. **Set Up Monitoring**
   - Error tracking (Sentry)
   - Performance monitoring (New Relic, Datadog)
   - Uptime monitoring (Pingdom, UptimeRobot)
   - User analytics (Google Analytics, Plausible)

2. **Set Up Logging**
   - Frontend error logs
   - Backend API logs
   - Authentication event logs

3. **Create Runbook**
   - Deployment procedures
   - Rollback procedures
   - Incident response
   - Contact information

## 🎯 Go/No-Go Decision

### Current Status: ⚠️ **IMPROVED - Still NO GO for Production**

**Reasons:**
1. ✅ ~~Security vulnerabilities present (HIGH severity)~~ - **HIGH vulnerabilities FIXED**
2. ❌ **Mock backend not suitable for production**
3. ❌ **Tokens stored in localStorage** (security risk)
4. ❌ **No password hashing** (plaintext passwords)
5. ❌ **No HTTPS enforcement**
6. ❌ **No monitoring/alerting**
7. ⚠️ **Moderate dev-only vulnerabilities remain** (can be addressed post-launch)

### Minimum Requirements for GO:
- ✅ ~~All HIGH security vulnerabilities fixed~~ - **COMPLETED**
- ❌ Real backend API deployed
- ❌ Proper authentication security (hashing, httpOnly cookies)
- ❌ HTTPS enabled
- ❌ Basic monitoring in place
- ❌ Production environment configured
- ❌ Basic testing completed

## 📞 Next Steps

1. ✅ ~~**Immediate**: Run `npm audit fix` to address vulnerabilities~~ - **COMPLETED**
2. **Short-term**: Deploy or integrate with real backend API
3. **Before launch**: Complete security hardening
4. **At launch**: Set up monitoring and error tracking
5. **Post-launch**: Add automated tests and CI/CD
