# Testing Strategy Analyst

## Purpose

Guide the creation of comprehensive tests following project patterns for unit tests, integration tests, and E2E tests using Vitest, MSW, and project-specific test helpers.

## When to Use

- Writing new tests
- Analyzing test coverage gaps
- Setting up mocks for testing
- Organizing test files
- Debugging test failures

## Quick Pattern Reference

### Service Tests
See `references/patterns.md` for full examples. Key structure:
- Declare dependencies at suite level
- Reset mocks in `beforeEach` with `vi.clearAllMocks()`
- Use describe blocks for method grouping
- Follow **Arrange-Act-Assert** pattern

### Repository Tests with MSW
See `references/patterns.md` for MSW setup. Key steps:
1. Define handlers with `graphql.query()` / `graphql.mutation()`
2. Setup server with `beforeAll` / `afterAll`
3. Override handlers for specific test cases with `server.use()`

### Test Data Builders
See `references/test-builders.md` for implementations. Pattern:
- Create builder class with fluent interface
- Validate with Zod schema in `build()`
- Provide factory functions for convenience

### Mock Functions
See `references/patterns.md` for examples. Common patterns:
- `vi.fn()` for simple mocks
- `vi.mocked()` for typed access
- `vi.mock()` for module mocking

## Running Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
pnpm test

# Run specific test file
pnpm test -- --filter=category-service

# Run tests matching pattern
pnpm test -- --grep="should create category"

# Watch mode
pnpm test -- --watch

# With coverage
pnpm test -- --coverage
```

See `references/commands-reference.md` for advanced options and coverage configuration.

## Test Quality Checklist

### For Every Test

- [ ] Follows Arrange-Act-Assert pattern
- [ ] Has descriptive test name
- [ ] Tests one thing per test
- [ ] Includes both positive and negative cases
- [ ] Uses typed mocks (not `any`)
- [ ] Cleans up after itself (beforeEach/afterEach)

### For Test Suites

- [ ] Covers all public methods
- [ ] Covers error scenarios
- [ ] Covers edge cases
- [ ] Uses schema-validated test data
- [ ] Has integration tests for complex flows

## Validation Checkpoints

| Phase | Validate | Command |
|-------|----------|---------|
| Test written | File exists | Check `*.test.ts` created |
| Tests pass | All green | `pnpm test <file>` |
| Coverage adequate | Key paths covered | `pnpm test --coverage` |
| Mocks typed | No `any` in mocks | `npx tsc --noEmit` |

## Common Pitfalls

**Not Resetting Mocks**:
```typescript
beforeEach(() => {
  vi.clearAllMocks(); // Always reset!
});
```

**Testing Implementation Details**:
```typescript
// BAD - tests internal structure
expect(service.internalMap.size).toBe(1);

// GOOD - tests behavior
expect(await service.findBySlug('test')).toBeDefined();
```

**Flaky Async Tests**:
```typescript
// BAD - race condition
const result = service.process();
expect(result).toBe(expected);

// GOOD - await properly
const result = await service.process();
expect(result).toBe(expected);
```
