Quality Assurance Guide

Purpose: Use this reference when scoring conversion fidelity, grading outputs, or setting up manual or automated verification — the per-conversion measurement step. Pair with: conversion-calibration.md for the cross-conversion learning loop that consumes these scores (record schema, tool-effectiveness tracking, calibration rules, pattern library).

Verification Process

Pre-Conversion

file input.md
stat input.md
grep -c "^#" input.md
grep -c "^\\*" input.md
grep -c "!\\[" input.md
grep -c "\\[.*\\](" input.md

During Conversion

pandoc input.md -o output.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex -v 2>&1 | tee conversion.log

Post-Conversion

Regression Testing

Rules:

• Keep a feature-rich test document that includes headings, lists, tables, code, images, links, and metadata.
• Re-run the same test set after tool, template, or dependency updates.
• Compare both score and artifact quality, not only exit status.

Example:

pandoc test-features.md -o test-output.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex
pandoc test-features.md -o test-output.docx
pandoc test-features.md -o test-output.html -s
