- Validate source files against MIME/signature before conversion.
- Run conversion on representative fixture sizes from the sample library.
- Verify output format integrity, metadata, and playback/rendering behavior.
- Benchmark throughput and resource cost before production rollout.

Veelvoorkomende foutpatronen
- Converting malformed PNG files without pre-validation causes inconsistent outputs.
- Assuming all DCM readers parse metadata identically creates production regressions.
- Skipping fixture size diversity leads to blind spots in memory and throughput behavior.
- Deploying conversion changes without rollback thresholds increases incident risk.
QA-checklist voor uitrol
1. Validate MIME/signature for incoming PNG fixtures.
2. Run conversion against small, medium, and large PNG samples.
3. Verify structural integrity of generated DCM output.
4. Confirm metadata parity (timestamps, labels, embedded fields).
5. Benchmark conversion latency and resource usage under load.
6. Document fallback path and rollback trigger thresholds.
