Each components of the architecture will be validated by applications converted to use these components. For example Music will be converted to have its front-end separated from its back-end with the app bridge being the protocol machine for the front and back.

Initially two apps are chosen to be converted to the new architecture to evaluate the new architecture's APIs as well as to evaluate the "new" apps' performance and memory profiles.  In the process of conversion we will also focus on the useability of the APIs for apps developers and best practices on Firefox OS apps conversion.
