+# QA360 DOM Element Discovery - Technical Implementation Plan
+
+**Version** : 1.0
+**Date** : 2026-01-09
+**Auteur** : QA360 Core Team
+**Status** : Ready for Implementation
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+This document outlines the technical implementation plan for the DOM Element Discovery feature in QA360. The goal is to automatically discover and catalog UI elements from web pages to streamline test creation.
+
+### Scope
+
+**Phase 1 (MVP)** includes:
+- New `qa360 scan` command
+- DOM element scanning (buttons, links, forms, inputs)
+- JSON output format
+- Auto-generation of QA360 test files
+
+**Out of Scope** (future phases):
+- Multi-page crawling
+- Interactive element selection
+- HTML report generation
+- Baseline regression detection
+
+---

+
+### 4.4 JSON Reporter
+
+```typescript
+// cli/src/generators/json-reporter.ts
+
+import { writeFileSync } from 'fs';
+import type { ScanResult } from '../types/scan.js';
+
+export class JSONReporter {
+  /**
+   * Generate a JSON report from scan results
+   */
+  async generate(result: ScanResult, outputPath: string): Promise<void> {
+    writeFileSync(outputPath, JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+## 5. CLI Integration
+
+### 5.1 Register the Command
+
+```typescript
+// cli/src/index.ts
+
+import { scanCommand } from './commands/scan.js';
+
+// In the program setup
+program.addCommand(scanCommand);
+```
+
+### 5.2 Help Text
+
+```
+Usage: qa360 scan [options] <url>
+
+Scan a web page for UI elements and generate test configurations
+
+Arguments:
+  url                  URL of the page to scan
+
+Options:
+  -o, --output <file>     Output file path (default: ".qa360/discovery/elements.json")
+  -i, --include <types>   Element types to include: buttons,links,forms,inputs,images,headings,all (default: "all")
+  -e, --exclude <selects> Selectors to exclude (comma-separated)
+  -s, --screenshot        Capture screenshots of elements
+  -a, --auto-generate-test Auto-generate QA360 test file
+  -t, --timeout <ms>      Navigation timeout in ms (default: "30000")
+  --headed               Run in headed mode (show browser)
+  -h, --help              Display help for command
+```

+
+## 6. Testing Strategy
+
+### 6.1 Unit Tests
+
+```typescript
+// cli/src/scanners/__tests__/dom-scanner.test.ts
+
+import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import { DOMScanner } from '../dom-scanner';
+
+describe('DOMScanner', () => {
+  // Test cases for each scan method
+  // Mock Playwright Page object
+});
+```
+
+### 6.2 Integration Tests
+
+```typescript
+// cli/src/commands/__tests__/scan.integration.test.ts
+
+describe('scan command integration', () => {
+  it('should scan a simple page', async () => {
+    // Test against a local test server
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### 6.3 E2E Tests
+
+```bash
+# Manual testing checklist
+□ Scan page with buttons
+□ Scan page with links
+□ Scan page with forms
+□ Scan page with inputs
+□ Exclude specific selectors
+□ Generate test file
+□ Verify generated test is runnable
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Performance Considerations
+
+- Use `page.locator()` with efficient selectors
+- Parallelize element queries where possible
+- Limit visibility checks (only for interactive elements)
+- Cache selector generation results
+- Use browser pooling for repeated scans
+
+---
+
+## 8. Error Handling
+
+| Error Scenario | Handling Strategy |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| Invalid URL | Validate before browser launch |
+| Navigation timeout | Configurable, fail gracefully |
+| No elements found | Warning message, empty result |
+| File write error | Clear error message with path |
+| Browser launch failure | Fallback to alternative browser |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Dependencies
+
+No new dependencies required - uses existing:
+- `@playwright/test` (already installed)
+- `js-yaml` (already installed)
+- `commander` (already installed)
+
+---
+
+## 10. Success Criteria
+
+Phase 1 is complete when:
+
+- [ ] `qa360 scan` command works on any public URL
+- [ ] All element types (buttons, links, forms, inputs, images, headings) are detected
+- [ ] JSON output is valid and complete
+- [ ] Generated QA360 test file is runnable
+- [ ] Command completes in < 5 seconds for typical pages
+- [ ] Help text is clear and accurate
+- [ ] Unit tests coverage > 80%
+- [ ] Documentation is updated
+
+---
+
+## 11. Open Questions
+
+1. Should we support XPath selectors in addition to CSS?
+2. How should we handle elements inside iframes?
+3. Should we detect and exclude invisible/hidden elements by default?
+4. What's the maximum number of elements we should support per page?
+
+---
+
+## 12. Future Enhancements (Out of Scope)
+
+- Multi-page scanning with crawler
+- Interactive element selection mode
+- HTML report generation
+- Baseline comparison for regression detection
+- Component detection (React, Vue, etc.)
+- Screenshot capture for each element
+- CI/CD integration mode
