# Manual Testing Plan: iter_tools

This document contains the comprehensive manual testing plan for the iter_tools crate, covering all functionality specified in spec.md.

## Test Scope

Per spec.md, iter_tools provides:
1. Selective re-exports from itertools
2. Clonable boxed iterator trait objects (IterTrait, BoxedIter)
3. Iterator extensions (IterExt::map_result)
4. no_std compatible iterator operations

## Testing Patterns

### Pattern 1: Basic Iteration with Re-exports

**Functionality:** Test spec.md § Usage Patterns § Pattern 1

Test cases:
- [x] min() with normal vec - PASS (covered by iter_tools_trivial.rs)
- [ ] min() with empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] min() with single element - CORNER CASE
- [ ] max() with normal vec - NORMAL CASE
- [ ] max() with empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [x] zip() with equal length iterators - PASS (covered by spec.md example, readme.md)
- [ ] zip() with different length iterators - CORNER CASE
- [ ] zip() with empty iterators - CORNER CASE
- [x] multiunzip() - PASS (covered by tests/inc/basic_test.rs)
- [ ] multiunzip() with empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] rev() - PASS (covered by iter_tools_trivial.rs)
- [ ] chain() with two non-empty iterators - NORMAL CASE
- [ ] chain() with empty + non-empty - CORNER CASE
- [ ] chain() with empty + empty - CORNER CASE

### Pattern 2: Clonable Boxed Iterators

**Functionality:** Test spec.md § Usage Patterns § Pattern 2

Test cases:
- [ ] BoxedIter basic clone and collect - NORMAL CASE (spec.md Pattern 2)
- [ ] BoxedIter clone of empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] BoxedIter clone of partially consumed iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] BoxedIter with Send marker - EDGE CASE
- [ ] BoxedIter with Sync marker - EDGE CASE
- [ ] BoxedIter with Send + Sync markers - EDGE CASE
- [ ] IterTrait implementation verification - NORMAL CASE

### Pattern 3: Result-Oriented Iterator Processing

**Functionality:** Test spec.md § Usage Patterns § Pattern 3

Test cases:
- [ ] map_result with all success - NORMAL CASE (spec.md Pattern 3)
- [ ] map_result with first element error - CORNER CASE
- [ ] map_result with middle element error - CORNER CASE (spec.md Pattern 3)
- [ ] map_result with last element error - CORNER CASE
- [ ] map_result with empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] map_result Clone requirement verification - EDGE CASE

### Pattern 4: Advanced Combinators

**Functionality:** Test spec.md § Usage Patterns § Pattern 4

Test cases:
- [ ] interleave with equal length iterators - NORMAL CASE (spec.md Pattern 4)
- [ ] interleave with first iterator longer - CORNER CASE
- [ ] interleave with second iterator longer - CORNER CASE
- [ ] interleave with empty iterators - CORNER CASE
- [ ] intersperse with normal iterator - NORMAL CASE (spec.md Pattern 4)
- [ ] intersperse with single element - CORNER CASE
- [ ] intersperse with empty iterator - CORNER CASE
- [ ] fold with normal iterator - NORMAL CASE
- [ ] fold with empty iterator - CORNER CASE

## Issues Log

### Issue Template
```
**Issue #N:** [Brief description]
**Severity:** [Critical/High/Medium/Low]
**Found in:** [Test case name]
**Reproduction:** [Steps to reproduce]
**Expected:** [Expected behavior per spec.md]
**Actual:** [Actual behavior observed]
**Status:** [Found/Fixed/Verified]
```

### Active Issues

None.

### Resolved Issues

**Issue #1:** zip() unavailable when no_std feature enabled
**Severity:** High
**Found in:** Pattern 1 zip tests when running with --all-features
**Reproduction:**
1. Enable no_std feature (happens with --all-features)
2. Attempt to use zip() from iter_tools::*
3. Compiler error: cannot find function `zip` in this scope
**Expected:** Per spec.md, zip should be re-exported from core::iter::zip and available in all configurations
**Actual:** zip was only available when no_std feature was disabled due to incorrect cfg guard
**Root Cause:** src/iter.rs:267 had `#[ cfg(not(feature = "no_std")) ]` guarding the zip re-export, but core::iter::zip is available in both std and no_std environments
**Fix:** Removed the cfg guard, making zip unconditionally available
**Automated Test:** Added tests/inc/zip_test.rs with comprehensive zip tests including specific test for no_std feature
**Status:** Fixed and Verified

## Test Execution Notes

Manual testing execution will create executable test files in this directory to validate each pattern and corner case systematically.

**Next Steps:**
1. Create comprehensive test executables for each pattern
2. Execute all corner cases
3. Document any issues found
4. Add reproducing automated tests for any bugs
5. Fix all issues with proper fixes (no workarounds)
6. Verify fixes with ctest3
