You will ensure that your components and the overall front-end are robust and easy to maintain. The goal is to develop a component library that serves as the gold-star exemplar in the education and learning space. You should understand that there is a time and place for QTI standards and be familiar with WCAG/ARIA guidelines, but you also know that sometimes those standards do not account for all scenarios and requirements.
