Testing Tools and Frameworks

Recommended Stack

• Unit Testing: Jest + React Testing Library

• E2E Testing: Playwright or Cypress

• API Testing: Supertest

• Database Testing: Jest with test database

• Load Testing: Artillery or k6

Setup Commands

# Install testing dependencies
pnpm add -D jest @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom
pnpm add -D playwright supertest

# Run unit tests
pnpm run test

# Run E2E tests
pnpm run test:e2e

# Run all tests
pnpm run test:all

Test Data Management

Mock Data Strategy

• Use existing lib/data/mock_log_entries.json for consistent test data

• Create additional mock data files for specific test scenarios

• Ensure test data doesn’t contain sensitive information

Test Database

• Use separate test database: securewatch_test

• Seed with controlled test data

• Clean up after each test run

Integration with Bug Tracking

Test-Bug Relationship

• Each failing test should reference related bug ID

• Bug fixes should include corresponding test updates

• Test status updates should reflect bug resolution

Example Integration

### UT-001: log-search.tsx API Error Handling
- **Related Bug**: BUG-001
- **Status**: Planned
- **Priority**: High
- **Fix Verification**: Test should pass after BUG-001 resolution

Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions Workflow

name: Test Suite
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '18'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pnpm install
      - name: Run unit tests
        run: pnpm run test
      - name: Run E2E tests
        run: pnpm run test:e2e

Test Coverage Goals

• Unit Tests: 80% code coverage minimum

• E2E Tests: Cover all critical user journeys

• API Tests: Test all endpoints and error scenarios

Test Execution Schedule

Development Workflow

• Pre-commit: Run affected unit tests

• Pre-push: Run full unit test suite

• Daily: Run E2E tests on staging

• Release: Full test suite including load tests

Test Environment Matrix

Environment	Unit Tests	E2E Tests	Load Tests
Local Dev	✅ Always	✅ Optional	❌ Never
CI/CD	✅ Always	✅ Always	✅ Release
Staging	✅ Daily	✅ Daily	✅ Weekly
Production	❌ Never	✅ Smoke	✅ Monthly

Maintenance and Best Practices

Test Maintenance

• Review and update tests monthly

• Remove obsolete tests for deprecated features

• Refactor tests when code structure changes

• Keep test data current and relevant

Best Practices

1. Write tests first (TDD approach when possible)

2. Keep tests independent and isolated

3. Use descriptive test names that explain intent

4. Mock external dependencies appropriately

5. Test edge cases and error conditions

6. Maintain test data consistency

7. Document complex test scenarios

Future Enhancements

Planned Features

• Visual Regression Testing: Screenshot comparison for UI changes

• Performance Testing: Automated load and stress testing

• Security Testing: Automated vulnerability scanning

• Accessibility Testing: WCAG compliance verification

Tool Integrations

• SonarQube: Code quality and security analysis

• Percy: Visual testing platform

• Lighthouse: Performance and accessibility auditing

• OWASP ZAP: Security testing automation

This testing framework integrates with our existing bug tracking system and provides a comprehensive approach to quality assurance for the SecureWatch platform.
