## Success Metrics

### For 1.0 Release

- [ ] VenomQA runs successfully against Medusa e-commerce
- [ ] All 22 workstreams completed and tested
- [ ] Documentation site live
- [ ] PyPI package published
- [ ] At least 3 real-world examples working
- [ ] Test suite >90% passing
- [ ] Performance: 100+ steps/second

### Quality Gates

## Timeline

- **Week 1-2**: Core improvements, real-world validation
- **Week 3-4**: Developer experience, reporting
- **Week 5-6**: Testing capabilities, infrastructure
- **Week 7-8**: Polish, documentation, release

## Architecture Goals

1. **Language Agnostic**: Test any API (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
2. **State Management**: Database checkpoints and rollback
3. **Branching**: Explore multiple paths from same state
4. **Extensible**: Plugin system for customization
5. **Observable**: Rich reporting and persistence
6. **Performant**: Fast execution, parallel support
