+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Development server running (`npm run dev` in the `app/` directory)
+- Modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox)
+- Browser DevTools access
+
+## Test Categories
+
+### 1. PWA Manifest & Installation

+3. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Manifest loads without errors
+   - ✅ App name: "Pantry - Smart Inventory Manager"
+   - ✅ Short name: "Pantry"
+   - ✅ Theme color: #10b981 (emerald)
+   - ✅ All icons (192x192, 512x512, maskable) present
+   - ✅ Display mode: standalone
+   - ✅ No manifest warnings
+
+#### Test 1.2: Install Prompt
+1. Wait 3 seconds after page load
+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Install prompt card appears (bottom-right on desktop, bottom on mobile)
+   - ✅ Shows app icon and "Install Pantry" title
+   - ✅ "Install" button is clickable
+   - ✅ "Not now" dismisses the prompt
+   - ✅ Close (X) button dismisses the prompt
+
+#### Test 1.3: Manual Installation from Settings

+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Shows "Install App" button
+   - ✅ Clicking installs the app
+   - ✅ After install, shows "App is installed" status
+   - ✅ Storage usage displayed with progress bar
+
+#### Test 1.4: Platform-Specific Instructions
+1. View Settings → App tab on device without beforeinstallprompt support
+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Shows iOS installation instructions (if on iOS)
+   - ✅ Shows Android installation instructions (if on Android)
+   - ✅ Instructions are clear and accurate
+
+### 2. Service Worker
+
+#### Test 2.1: Service Worker Registration
+1. Open DevTools → Application → Service Workers
+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Service worker registered
+   - ✅ Status: "activated and running"
+   - ✅ No registration errors
+   - ✅ Update on reload enabled
+
+#### Test 2.2: Cache Storage
+1. Open DevTools → Application → Cache Storage
+2. Navigate through the app (Home, Scan, Settings)
+3. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Multiple cache buckets created:
+     - workbox-precache (app shell)
+     - supabase-rest-api
+     - supabase-storage
+     - product-images (if products viewed)
+     - google-fonts-stylesheets
+     - google-fonts-webfonts

+   - ✅ Icons and images cached
+
+#### Test 2.3: Update Behavior
+1. Make a code change
+2. Rebuild the app
+3. Refresh the page
+4. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Service worker updates in background
+   - ✅ New version activates automatically (skipWaiting)
+   - ✅ No manual refresh required for future visits
+
+### 3. Offline Functionality
+
+#### Test 3.1: Complete Offline Mode
+1. Load the app while online
+2. Navigate to all pages (Home, Scan, Settings)
+3. Open DevTools → Network tab
+4. Enable "Offline" mode
+5. Try navigating the app
+6. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ App continues to function
+   - ✅ Previously visited pages load instantly
+   - ✅ Offline banner appears at top
+   - ✅ Banner shows "You're currently offline" message
+   - ✅ Navigation between cached pages works
+   - ✅ No white screens or errors
+
+#### Test 3.2: Offline Fallback Page
+1. Go offline (DevTools Network → Offline)
+2. Try navigating to a non-cached page (e.g., type random URL)
+3. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Redirects to /offline page
+   - ✅ Shows WiFi icon and helpful message
+   - ✅ Lists what you can do offline
+   - ✅ "Try Again" button present
+   - ✅ Auto-redirects when back online
+
+#### Test 3.3: Online Status Detection
+1. Start online, go offline, come back online
+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Offline banner appears when offline
+   - ✅ "Back online!" banner shows when reconnected (green)
+   - ✅ Banner auto-hides after 3 seconds
+   - ✅ No false positives
+
+#### Test 3.4: API Request Caching (Supabase)
+1. While online, view some inventory items (once implemented)
+2. Go offline
+3. Navigate to the items page
+4. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Previously loaded items still visible
+   - ✅ Network requests fail gracefully
+   - ✅ Cached data is served
+   - ✅ No crashes or white screens
+
+#### Test 3.5: Image Caching (Product Images)
+1. While online, view products with images
+2. Go offline
+3. View the same products again
+4. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Product images load from cache
+   - ✅ No broken image placeholders
+   - ✅ Images from Open Food Facts cached
+
+### 4. Background Sync (Future Enhancement)
+
+**Note:** Background sync not yet implemented. This section is reserved for future testing.
+
+### 5. Cross-Platform Testing
+
+#### Test 5.1: Desktop Browsers
+Test on:
+- [ ] Chrome/Edge (Windows/Mac/Linux)
+- [ ] Firefox (Windows/Mac/Linux)
+- [ ] Safari (Mac only)
+
+#### Test 5.2: Mobile Browsers
+Test on:
+- [ ] Chrome (Android)
+- [ ] Safari (iOS)
+- [ ] Firefox (Android)
+- [ ] Samsung Internet (Android)
+
+#### Test 5.3: Installed App vs Browser
+Compare behavior when:
+- [ ] Running in browser tab
+- [ ] Running as installed PWA (standalone mode)
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- ✅ Identical functionality
+- ✅ Installed app shows in app switcher
+- ✅ Installed app has no browser chrome
+- ✅ Installed app survives system restart
+
+### 6. Performance Testing
+
+#### Test 6.1: First Load Performance
+1. Clear all caches
+2. Load the app (online)
+3. Check DevTools → Lighthouse
+4. Run PWA audit
+5. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ PWA score: 90+ / 100
+   - ✅ Performance score: 80+ / 100
+   - ✅ "Installable" badge present
+   - ✅ No PWA warnings
+
+#### Test 6.2: Repeat Visit Performance
+1. Visit the app
+2. Navigate around
+3. Close tab
+4. Reopen the app
+5. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Instant load from cache
+   - ✅ No flash of white screen
+   - ✅ Content visible immediately
+
+### 7. Storage Management
+
+#### Test 7.1: Storage Quota
+1. Open Settings → App tab
+2. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Storage usage displayed
+   - ✅ Storage quota displayed
+   - ✅ Usage percentage shown visually
+   - ✅ Numbers update as cache grows
+
+#### Test 7.2: Cache Eviction
+1. Fill cache with many images/data
+2. Exceed storage quota
+3. **Expected Results:**
+   - ✅ Oldest cache entries evicted automatically
+   - ✅ No app crashes
+   - ✅ App continues to function
+
+## Automated Testing (Future)
+
+### Playwright E2E Tests (Planned)
+
+```typescript
+// Example test structure
+test('PWA installs correctly', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Test installation flow
+})
+
+test('App works offline', async ({ page, context }) => {
+  // Load app, go offline, verify functionality
+})
+```
+
+## Known Issues & Limitations
+
+1. **iOS Safari:**
+   - No beforeinstallprompt event (use manual Add to Home Screen)
+   - Service worker has storage limits
+   - Background sync not supported
+
+2. **Firefox:**
+   - Install prompt may not show (desktop only)
+   - Use "Add to Home Screen" on mobile
+
+3. **Development Mode:**
+   - Service worker may behave differently
+   - Always test in production build
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service Worker Not Updating
+- Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
+- DevTools → Application → Service Workers → Unregister
+- Clear cache and reload
+
+### Install Prompt Not Showing
+- Check if already installed
+- Check localStorage for `pwa-install-dismissed`
+- Wait 7 days or clear localStorage
+- Ensure criteria met (HTTPS, manifest, service worker)
+
+### Offline Mode Not Working
+- Verify service worker is active
+- Check cache storage has content
+- Ensure you visited pages while online first
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+All tests must pass before marking issue #36 complete:
+
+- [x] PWA manifest loads correctly
+- [x] Install prompt works
+- [x] Service worker registers and activates
+- [x] App works offline
+- [x] Cached content loads
+- [x] Offline banner shows/hides correctly
+- [x] Online status detected accurately
+- [x] Install instructions provided for unsupported browsers
+- [x] Storage usage displayed
+- [x] No console errors during offline usage
+
+## Sign-off
+
+**Tested by:** [Name]  
+**Date:** [Date]  
+**Browsers tested:** [List]  
+**Issues found:** [List or "None"]  
+**Status:** ✅ Pass / ❌ Fail
+
