How to Test Interface States AI Agents Usually Miss
AI-generated prototypes often omit essential edge-case states, necessitating a shift toward building comprehensive state inventories in the design process.
What: Loop11 recommends building 'interface contracts' that define how loading, empty results, and permission states should behave, preventing AI-assisted design workflows from skipping critical user-experience requirements.
Why it matters: Designers are increasingly managing AI-generated drafts, making it vital to establish systematic rigor for edge cases that models frequently overlook.
Takeaway: Build a state inventory (loading, empty, error, permissions) for your interface and convert these into reusable 'interface contracts' for your team.
Decoder
