Quality_assurance_for_new_core_features

To encourage exceptionally high quality in the Cytoscape codebase, the following process should be followed for all core features:

For core APIs:

Core developer review of API
Extensively document all API methods using Javadoc and also a tutorial page on the wiki
Write unit tests for all API methods
User test all methods

For proposed core features (e.g. UI features):

Core developer review of new feature design and/or new feature prototype as a plugin
When feature is near alpha or beta stage, find someone who will do a thorough user test/review
Write unit tests
Add documentation for new feature to Cytoscape manual. See: How_to_update_the_Cytoscape_manual
User test feature
