+# BZOD Test Procedures
+
+This document describes the official verification procedures for BZOD.
+
+The objective is not merely to confirm that code compiles, but to ensure that the complete platform can be built, deployed, backed up, restored, migrated, and recovered successfully.
+
+---
+
+# Philosophy
+
+BZOD prioritizes:
+
+1. Data Integrity
+2. Operational Simplicity
+3. Recovery Capability
+4. Deployment Reproducibility
+5. Functional Correctness
+
+A passing unit test suite alone is insufficient.
+
+A release is considered valid only if backup, restore, migration, and recovery procedures have been verified.
+
+---
+
+# Test Categories
+
+## 1. Build Verification
+
+Verify the application compiles successfully.
+
+```bash
+cargo check
+cargo build
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* No compiler errors
+* No panics during startup
+* Release binary generated successfully
+
+---
+
+## 2. Static Analysis
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --check
+cargo clippy --all-targets
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Formatting passes
+* No significant Clippy warnings
+
+---
+
+## 3. Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+cargo test
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* All tests pass
+* No ignored critical tests
+
+---
+
+## 4. Database Initialization
+
+Create a clean environment.
+
+```bash
+rm -rf data
+
+./bzod stats
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Databases are automatically created
+* Migrations applied successfully
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+./bzod doctor
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+```text
+Overall status: HEALTHY
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Migration Verification
+
+Run migrations repeatedly.
+
+```bash
+./bzod migrate
+./bzod migrate
+./bzod migrate
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* No duplicate migrations
+* No errors
+* Schema remains stable
+
+---
+
+## 6. Administrator Creation
+
+Create an administrator account.
+
+```bash
+./bzod create-admin
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* User created successfully
+* Authentication works
+
+Attempt duplicate creation:
+
+```bash
+./bzod create-admin
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Duplicate username rejected
+
+---
+
+## 7. Backup Verification
+
+Create backup archive.
+
+```bash
+./bzod backup
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Backup archive generated
+* Archive contains all databases
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+tar -tzf backup-*.tar.gz
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+```text
+admin.db
+content.db
+analytics.db
+system.db
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Restore Verification
+
+Create sample data.
+
+Generate:
+
+* Administrator
+* URL records
+* Landing pages
+* Analytics records
+
+Create backup:
+
+```bash
+./bzod backup
+```
+
+Delete databases:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf data
+```
+
+Restore:
+
+```bash
+./bzod restore --file backup.tar.gz
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Restore completes successfully
+* All records preserved
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+./bzod doctor
+./bzod stats
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+```text
+Overall status: HEALTHY
+```
+
+and original record counts preserved.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Disaster Recovery Test
+
+This is the most important test.
+
+Procedure:
+
+1. Backup system.
+2. Delete entire data directory.
+3. Restore backup.
+4. Start server.
+5. Login to Admin UI.
+
+Commands:
+
+```bash
+./bzod backup
+
+rm -rf data
+
+./bzod restore --file backup.tar.gz
+
+./bzod serve
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* System fully operational
+* No manual database repair required
+
+---
+
+## 10. Database Health Verification
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+./bzod doctor
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+For every database:
+
+```text
+Integrity: ok
+Foreign keys: enabled
+Journal mode: wal
+```
+
+Final result:
+
+```text
+Overall status: HEALTHY
+```
+
+---
+
+## 11. SQLite Integrity Checks
+
+Manual verification.
+
+```bash
+sqlite3 data/admin.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"
+sqlite3 data/content.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"
+sqlite3 data/analytics.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"
+sqlite3 data/system.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+```text
+ok
+```
+
+for all databases.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Web Interface Verification
+
+Start server.
+
+```bash
+./bzod serve
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+* Homepage loads
+* Redirects function
+* Landing pages render
+* Admin login works
+* Dashboard loads
+* API endpoints respond
+
+---
+
+## 13. Docker Verification
+
+Build image.
+
+```bash
+docker compose build --no-cache
+```
+
+Start service.
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+```text
+Listening for requests
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+./bzod doctor
+```
+
+inside container.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Upgrade Verification
+
+1. Create backup.
+2. Upgrade binary.
+3. Run migration.
+4. Start service.
+
+```bash
+./bzod backup
+
+./bzod migrate
+
+./bzod serve
+```
+
+Expected Result:
+
+* Existing data preserved
+* No migration failures
+
+---
+
+# Release Acceptance Criteria
+
+A release is considered production-ready only if:
+
+* Build verification passes
+* Static analysis passes
+* Unit tests pass
+* Backup verification passes
+* Restore verification passes
+* Disaster recovery verification passes
+* Doctor reports HEALTHY
+* Docker deployment succeeds
+* Web UI functions correctly
+
+Failure of backup, restore, or disaster recovery tests is considered a release blocker.
+
+---
+
+# Guiding Principle
+
+A successful release is not merely one that starts.
+
+A successful release is one that can be recovered.
