## Post-Deployment Validation
### 1. V3 Backward Compatibility
- [ ] **V3 session management still works**
```python
from session_buddy.storage.skills_storage import SkillsStorage
storage = SkillsStorage()
session_id = storage.create_session(project_path="/test/project")
# Should succeed without errors
```
- [ ] **V3 tracking still works**
```python
invocation_id = storage.track_invocation(
session_id=session_id,
skill_name="test-skill",
completed=True,
duration_seconds=5.0
)
# Should return valid invocation_id
```
- [ ] **V3 queries still work**
```python
metrics = storage.get_skill_metrics("test-skill")
# Should return dict with effectiveness metrics
```
### 2. V4 New Features
#### Real-Time Monitoring
- [ ] **WebSocket server starts**
```python
from session_buddy.realtime import RealTimeMetricsServer
server = RealTimeMetricsServer(port=8765)
await server.start()
# Should print: "WebSocket server started on ws://localhost:8765"
```
- [ ] **Real-time metrics query works**
```python
metrics = storage.get_real_time_metrics(limit=5)
# Should return list of top 5 skills
```
- [ ] **Anomaly detection works**
```python
anomalies = storage.detect_anomalies(threshold=2.0)
# Should return list (empty if no anomalies)
```
#### Analytics Engine
- [ ] **Predictive model works**
```python
from session_buddy.analytics import get_predictor
predictor = get_predictor("skills.db")
probability = predictor.predict_success_probability(
skill_name="pytest-run",
user_query="test my code",
workflow_phase="execution",
session_context={"session_length_minutes": 30}
)
# Should return float between 0.0 and 1.0
```
- [ ] **A/B testing framework works**
```python
from session_buddy.analytics import get_ab_framework, ABTestConfig
framework = get_ab_framework("skills.db")
test_id = framework.create_test(ABTestConfig(
test_name="test_experiment",
control_strategy="semantic_search",
treatment_strategy="workflow_aware_search",
start_date="2026-02-10T00:00:00Z"
))
# Should return integer test_id
```
- [ ] **Time-series analysis works**
```python
from session_buddy.analytics import get_analyzer
analyzer = get_analyzer("skills.db")
trend = analyzer.detect_trend("pytest-run", metric="completion_rate")
# Should return dict with 'trend' (improving/declining/stable)
```
#### Cross-Session Learning
- [ ] **Collaborative filtering works**
```python
from session_buddy.analytics import get_collaborative_engine
engine = get_collaborative_engine()
recommendations = engine.recommend_from_similar_users("user123", limit=5)
# Should return list of recommendations (empty if cold start)
```
- [ ] **Community baselines work**
```python
baselines = storage.get_community_baselines()
# Should return list of skills with global metrics
```
#### MCP Tools
- [ ] **Phase 4 MCP tools registered**
```python
# Check server logs for tool registration
# Should see:
# - get_real_time_metrics
# - detect_anomalies
# - get_skill_trend
# - get_collaborative_recommendations
# - get_community_baselines
# - get_skill_dependencies
```
- [ ] **MCP tools execute successfully**
```python
# Via MCP client
result = await call_tool("get_real_time_metrics", {"limit": 5})
# Should return dict with "top_skills" key
```
### 3. Integration Tests
- [ ] **All Phase 4 integration tests pass**
```bash
cd /path/to/session-buddy
pytest tests/test_phase4_integration.py -v
# Expected: All tests pass (20+ scenarios)
```
- [ ] **Test coverage meets threshold**
```bash
pytest tests/test_phase4_integration.py --cov=session_buddy --cov-report=term
# Coverage should not decrease from baseline
```
- [ ] **No regression in existing tests**
```bash
pytest tests/ -v --ignore=tests/test_phase4_integration.py
# All existing tests should still pass
```
---
## Performance Validation
### 1. Query Performance
- [ ] **Real-time metrics < 100ms**
```python
import time
start = time.time()
metrics = storage.get_real_time_metrics(limit=10)
duration = (time.time() - start) * 1000
assert duration < 100, f"Too slow: {duration}ms"
```
- [ ] **Anomaly detection < 200ms**
```python
start = time.time()
anomalies = storage.detect_anomalies(threshold=2.0)
duration = (time.time() - start) * 1000
assert duration < 200, f"Too slow: {duration}ms"
```
- [ ] **Collaborative filtering < 200ms**
```python
start = time.time()
recommendations = engine.recommend_from_similar_users("user123", limit=5)
duration = (time.time() - start) * 1000
assert duration < 200, f"Too slow: {duration}ms"
```
### 2. WebSocket Performance
- [ ] **Broadcast latency < 100ms**
- Connect WebSocket client
- Measure time from broadcast to receipt
- Should be < 100ms for 10 clients
- [ ] **Handles 100+ concurrent clients**
- Connect 100 WebSocket clients
- Verify all receive updates
- No dropped connections
### 3. Database Size
- [ ] **Database size reasonable**
```bash
ls -lh ~/.claude/data/session_buddy.db
# Expected: ~10-20MB for typical usage
# (Empty DB: ~1MB, 100 skills + 1K invocations: ~15MB)
```
- [ ] **Time-series data growth manageable**
```sql
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM skill_time_series;
SELECT COUNT(*) * 300 / 1024 / 1024 as "Estimated MB"
FROM skill_time_series;
```
---
## Rollback Testing
### 1. Rollback Procedure
- [ ] **Rollback tested successfully**
```python
from pathlib import Path
from session_buddy.storage.migrations.base import MigrationManager
manager = MigrationManager(db_path="~/.claude/data/session_buddy.db")
manager.rollback()
# Expected output:
# Applying migration V4__phase4_extensions__down.sql
# ✓ Dropped 6 views
# ✓ Dropped 14 tables
# ✓ Dropped 3 triggers
# Rollback to V3 complete
```
- [ ] **V3 functionality restored after rollback**
```python
storage = SkillsStorage()
session_id = storage.create_session(project_path="/test")
# Should work exactly as before migration
```
### 2. Re-Migration After Rollback
- [ ] **Can re-apply V4 after rollback**
```python
manager.migrate()
# Should succeed without errors
```
---
## Monitoring Setup (Optional)
### 1. Prometheus Exporter
- [ ] **Prometheus exporter starts**
```python
from session_buddy.realtime import PrometheusExporter
exporter = PrometheusExporter(port=9090)
exporter.start()
# Should print: "Prometheus metrics exposed on http://localhost:9090"
```
- [ ] **Metrics endpoint accessible**
```bash
curl http://localhost:9090/metrics
# Should return Prometheus-formatted metrics
# skill_invocations_total{...} 142.0
# skill_duration_seconds_bucket{...} 45.0
# etc.
```
- [ ] **Grafana dashboard configured** (if using Grafana)
- Add Prometheus data source
- Import dashboard from `docs/grafana/`
- Verify panels display data
### 2. Health Checks
- [ ] **WebSocket health check**
```bash

wscat -c ws://localhost:8765
# Should connect successfully
```
- [ ] **Database health check**
```python
from session_buddy.storage.skills_storage import SkillsStorage
storage = SkillsStorage()
health = storage.health_check()
# Should return {"status": "healthy"}
```
