# Comprehensive Test Suite Guide

This document provides a complete guide to the comprehensive test suite implemented for the Four-Word Networking project.

## 📋 Overview

The test suite implements multiple layers of testing to ensure code quality, performance, and reliability:

- **Unit Tests**: Test individual functions and modules
- **Integration Tests**: Test complete workflows and CLI functionality
- **Property-Based Tests**: Test invariants and edge cases automatically
- **Fuzzing Tests**: Find edge cases and security vulnerabilities
- **Performance Tests**: Ensure performance requirements are met
- **Mutation Tests**: Verify test quality and completeness
- **Coverage Analysis**: Measure test coverage and identify gaps

- `.github/workflows/comprehensive_tests.yml` - CI/CD pipeline

## 🚀 Getting Started

### Prerequisites
Install the required testing tools:
```bash
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh install
```

Or manually:
```bash
cargo install cargo-tarpaulin    # Coverage analysis
cargo install cargo-fuzz         # Fuzzing
cargo install cargo-mutants      # Mutation testing
cargo install cargo-nextest      # Fast test runner
cargo install cargo-audit        # Security auditing
```

### Running Tests

#### Quick Tests (Development)
```bash
# Run all unit tests
cargo test --lib

# Run integration tests
cargo test --tests

# Run property-based tests
cargo test --test property_tests

# Run CLI tests
cargo test --test cli_integration_tests
```

#### Comprehensive Test Suite
```bash
# Run everything
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh

# Run specific test categories
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh unit
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh integration
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh property
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh fuzz
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh coverage
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh mutation
./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh benchmark
```

## 📊 Test Categories

### 1. Unit Tests

**Location**: Embedded in source files as `#[cfg(test)]` modules

**Purpose**: Test individual functions and data structures

**Coverage**: All public APIs and critical internal functions

**Example**:
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_ipv4_encoding() {
        let encoder = FourWordAdaptiveEncoder::new().unwrap();
        let result = encoder.encode("192.168.1.1").unwrap();
        assert_eq!(result.split('.').count(), 4);
    }
}
```

### 2. Integration Tests

**Location**: `tests/integration_tests.rs`

**Purpose**: Test complete workflows and module interactions

**Key Tests**:
- Complete IPv4/IPv6 encoding/decoding workflows
- Socket address processing
- Error handling and edge cases
- Performance requirements validation
- Memory usage and resource management

### 3. Property-Based Tests

**Location**: `tests/property_tests.rs`

**Purpose**: Test invariants and properties across all possible inputs

**Framework**: `proptest` and `quickcheck`

**Key Properties**:
- Encoding/decoding roundtrip always works
- Different IPs produce different encodings
- Encoding is deterministic
- Word format is always valid
- Performance bounds are maintained

**Example**:
```rust
proptest! {
    #[test]
    fn prop_ipv4_roundtrip(a in 0u8..=255, b in 0u8..=255, c in 0u8..=255, d in 0u8..=255) {
        let ip = Ipv4Addr::new(a, b, c, d);
        let encoded = encode_ip_address(&ip.to_string()).unwrap();
        let decoded = decode_words(&encoded).unwrap();
        prop_assert_eq!(ip.to_string(), decoded);
    }
}
```

### 4. CLI Integration Tests

**Location**: `tests/cli_integration_tests.rs`

**Purpose**: Test CLI functionality and user workflows

**Coverage**:
- Basic encoding/decoding operations
- Command-line argument handling
- Error message quality
- Performance in CLI context
- Batch processing capabilities

### 5. Fuzzing Tests

**Location**: `fuzz/fuzz_targets/`

**Purpose**: Find edge cases, crashes, and security vulnerabilities

**Targets**:
- `fuzz_encoding.rs` - Basic encoding/decoding
- `fuzz_comprehensive.rs` - Multiple operations with arbitrary inputs
- `fuzz_dictionary.rs` - Dictionary-specific operations

**Running**:
```bash
# Run for 60 seconds
FUZZ_DURATION=60 ./scripts/run_comprehensive_tests.sh fuzz

# Run specific target
cargo fuzz run fuzz_encoding -- -max_total_time=60
```

### 6. Performance Tests

**Location**: `benches/encoding_benchmarks.rs`

**Purpose**: Ensure performance requirements are met

**Metrics**:
- Encoding time < 2μs per address
- Decoding time < 2μs per address
- Throughput > 100,000 addresses/second
- Memory usage < 1MB

**Running**:
```bash
cargo bench
```

### 7. Mutation Testing

**Configuration**: `mutants.toml`

**Purpose**: Verify test quality by introducing code mutations

**Metrics**:
- Mutation score > 80%
- All critical paths covered
- Tests detect functional changes

**Running**:
```bash
cargo mutants --no-shuffle --output-in-dir target/mutants
```

### 8. Coverage Analysis

**Configuration**: `tarpaulin.toml`

**Purpose**: Measure test coverage and identify gaps

**Thresholds**:
- Line coverage: 95%
- Branch coverage: 90%
- Function coverage: 100%

**Running**:
```bash
cargo tarpaulin --config tarpaulin.toml
```

   ```bash
   cargo check --all-targets --all-features
   ```

2. **Test Failures**
   ```bash
   cargo test --lib -- --nocapture
   RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test failing_test_name
   ```

3. **Coverage Issues**
   ```bash
   cargo tarpaulin --config tarpaulin.toml --verbose
   ```

4. **Performance Regressions**
   ```bash
   cargo bench --bench encoding_benchmarks
   ```

5. **Fuzzing Crashes**
   ```bash
   cargo fuzz run fuzz_encoding
   # Check fuzz/artifacts/ for crash files
   ```

### Debugging Tools
- `cargo expand` - Expand macros
- `cargo tree` - Dependency analysis
- `cargo audit` - Security analysis
- `cargo deny` - License compliance
- `cargo bloat` - Binary size analysis

## 📚 Best Practices

### Writing Tests
1. **Test Names**: Use descriptive names (`test_ipv4_encoding_with_port`)
2. **Test Structure**: Follow Arrange-Act-Assert pattern
3. **Edge Cases**: Test boundary conditions and error cases
4. **Performance**: Include performance assertions in critical tests
5. **Documentation**: Test all documented examples

### Test Organization
1. **Unit Tests**: In same file as implementation
2. **Integration Tests**: In `tests/` directory
3. **Benchmarks**: In `benches/` directory
4. **Fuzzing**: In `fuzz/` directory
5. **Examples**: In `examples/` directory

### Property-Based Testing
1. **Invariants**: Focus on properties that should always hold
2. **Generators**: Use appropriate input generators
3. **Shrinking**: Ensure good shrinking for failure cases
4. **Determinism**: Test deterministic behavior
5. **Roundtrip**: Test encoding/decoding roundtrips

## 🚨 Troubleshooting

### Common Test Failures

1. **Timeout Issues**
   - Increase timeout in test configuration
   - Check for infinite loops or deadlocks
   - Use `--test-threads=1` for debugging

2. **Flaky Tests**
   - Use `serial_test` for tests that can't run in parallel
   - Mock external dependencies
   - Use deterministic test data

3. **Memory Issues**
   - Check for memory leaks in long-running tests
   - Use `valgrind` or similar tools
   - Monitor memory usage in CI

4. **Performance Issues**
   - Profile slow tests
   - Use `criterion` for accurate benchmarking
   - Check for debug builds in benchmarks

### Getting Help
- Check GitHub Issues for known problems
- Review CI logs for detailed error messages
- Use `cargo test --help` for testing options
- Consult the Rust testing documentation
