+## 🧪 **Testing Requirements**
+
+### **Test Coverage Requirements**
+
+- **New Features**: 100% test coverage required
+- **Bug Fixes**: Include regression tests
+- **Performance Changes**: Include benchmark tests
+- **API Changes**: Include integration tests
+
+### **Test Structure**
+
+```zig
+// Test file structure
+const std = @import("std");
+
+test "feature: basic functionality" {
+    const allocator = std.testing.allocator;
+    
+    // Test setup
+    var instance = try createInstance(allocator);
+    defer instance.deinit();
+    
+    // Test execution
+    const result = try instance.performOperation("test");
+    
+    // Assertions
+    try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("expected", result);
+}
+
+test "feature: error handling" {
+    const allocator = std.testing.allocator;
+    
+    // Test error conditions
+    const result = createInstance(allocator);
+    try std.testing.expectError(error.InvalidInput, result);
+}
+
+test "feature: memory safety" {
+    const allocator = std.testing.allocator;
+    
+    // Test memory management
+    var instance = try createInstance(allocator);
+    defer instance.deinit();
+    
+    // Verify no memory leaks
+    const stats = allocator.getStats();
+    try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(usize, 0), stats.active_allocations);
+}
+```
+
+### **Performance Testing**
+
+```zig
+test "performance: within baseline" {
+    const allocator = std.testing.allocator;
+    
+    // Measure performance
+    const start_time = std.time.nanoTimestamp();
+    try performOperation(allocator);
+    const end_time = std.time.nanoTimestamp();
+    
+    const duration = @as(u64, @intCast(end_time - start_time));
+    
+    // Assert performance within acceptable range
+    try std.testing.expectLessThan(duration, MAX_ALLOWED_TIME);
+}
+```
+
+## 📚 **Documentation**
+
+### **Documentation Requirements**
+
+- **Public APIs**: All public functions must be documented
+- **Examples**: Include usage examples for complex APIs
+- **README Updates**: Update README for significant features
+- **API Reference**: Keep API documentation current
+
+### **Documentation Standards**
+
+```zig
+/// # Neural Network Layer
+/// 
+/// Represents a single layer in a neural network with configurable
+/// activation functions and weight initialization.
+/// 
+/// ## Features
+/// - Configurable input/output dimensions
+/// - Multiple activation functions (ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh)
+/// - Automatic weight initialization
+/// - Memory-efficient operations
+/// 
+/// ## Example
+/// ```zig
+/// var layer = try Layer.init(allocator, .{
+///     .input_size = 784,
+///     .output_size = 128,
+///     .activation = .ReLU,
+/// });
+/// defer layer.deinit();
+/// 
+/// const output = try layer.forward(&input, allocator);
+/// ```
+pub const Layer = struct {
+    // Implementation...
+};
+```
+
+### **README Updates**
+
+When adding significant features, update the README:
+
+- **Features section**: Add new capabilities
+- **Examples section**: Include usage examples
+- **Performance section**: Update benchmarks if applicable
+- **Installation**: Update if new dependencies are added
