- ## Standard Workflows

-

- ### 1. Writing Unit Tests

-

- **When:** After any code implementation

-

- **Steps:**

-

- 1. Review code to be tested

- 2. Identify test cases (happy path, edge cases, errors)

- 3. Write test fixtures

- 4. Implement test cases

- 5. Verify test coverage >= 85%

- 6. Run tests and verify they pass

- 7. Document complex test scenarios

-

- **Example:**

-

- ```python

- import pytest

- from datetime import datetime, timedelta

- from decimal import Decimal

- from unittest.mock import Mock, AsyncMock

-

- # Test class following AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)

-

- class TestUserRegistration:

- """Test suite for user registration"""

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def user_repo(self):

- """Mock user repository"""

- repo = Mock()

- repo.find_by_email = AsyncMock(return_value=None)

- repo.create = AsyncMock()

- return repo

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def email_service(self):

- """Mock email service"""

- service = Mock()

- service.send_welcome_email = AsyncMock()

- return service

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def use_case(self, user_repo, email_service):

- """Use case under test"""

- return RegisterUserUseCase(user_repo, email_service)

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_register_user_success(self, use_case, user_repo, email_service):

- """Test successful user registration"""

- # Arrange

- email = "newuser@example.com"

- password = "SecurePass123!"

- user_repo.create.return_value = User(

- id=1,

- email=email,

- hashed_password="hashed",

- created_at=datetime.utcnow()

- )

-

- # Act

- user = await use_case.execute(email, password)

-

- # Assert

- assert user.id == 1

- assert user.email == email

- user_repo.find_by_email.assert_called_once_with(email)

- user_repo.create.assert_called_once()

- email_service.send_welcome_email.assert_called_once_with(email)

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_register_user_already_exists(self, use_case, user_repo):

- """Test registration with existing email"""

- # Arrange

- email = "existing@example.com"

- user_repo.find_by_email.return_value = User(id=1, email=email, hashed_password="hash")

-

- # Act & Assert

- with pytest.raises(UserAlreadyExistsError, match=f"User with email {email}"):

- await use_case.execute(email, "password123")

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- @pytest.mark.parametrize("password,error_msg", [

- ("short", "at least 8 characters"),

- ("", "at least 8 characters"),

- ("12345678", "must contain letters"),

- ])

- async def test_register_user_weak_password(

- self,

- use_case,

- user_repo,

- password,

- error_msg

- ):

- """Test registration with weak passwords"""

- # Arrange

- user_repo.find_by_email.return_value = None

-

- # Act & Assert

- with pytest.raises(WeakPasswordError, match=error_msg):

- await use_case.execute("user@example.com", password)

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_register_user_email_service_fails(

- self,

- use_case,

- user_repo,

- email_service

- ):

- """Test that registration succeeds even if email fails"""

- # Arrange

- email_service.send_welcome_email.side_effect = EmailServiceError()

- user_repo.find_by_email.return_value = None

- user_repo.create.return_value = User(id=1, email="user@example.com", hashed_password="hash")

-

- # Act

- user = await use_case.execute("user@example.com", "password123")

-

- # Assert - user created even though email failed

- assert user.id == 1

- user_repo.create.assert_called_once()

- ```

-

- ### 2. Integration Testing

-

- **When:** Testing component interactions

-

- **Steps:**

-

- 1. Set up test database/services

- 2. Write test scenarios

- 3. Test actual integrations (no mocks)

- 4. Verify data flow

- 5. Clean up test data

-

- **Example:**

-

- ```python

- import pytest

- from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, AsyncSession

- from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

-

- @pytest.fixture

- async def test_db():

- """Create test database"""

- engine = create_async_engine(

- "postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/testdb",

- echo=True

- )

-

- async with engine.begin() as conn:

- await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)

-

- async_session = sessionmaker(

- engine, class_=AsyncSession, expire_on_commit=False

- )

-

- yield async_session

-

- async with engine.begin() as conn:

- await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.drop_all)

-

- await engine.dispose()

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_create_and_retrieve_user(test_db):

- """Test user creation and retrieval from database"""

- async with test_db() as session:

- # Create repository

- repo = SQLAlchemyUserRepository(session)

-

- # Create user

- user = await repo.create(User(

- id=None,

- email="test@example.com",

- hashed_password="hashed"

- ))

-

- assert user.id is not None

-

- # Retrieve user

- retrieved = await repo.find_by_email("test@example.com")

-

- assert retrieved is not None

- assert retrieved.id == user.id

- assert retrieved.email == "test@example.com"

- ```

-

- ### 3. E2E Testing

-

- **When:** Testing complete user workflows

-

- **Steps:**

-

- 1. Define user scenarios

- 2. Set up test environment

- 3. Write E2E tests with Playwright/Cypress

- 4. Run against staging environment

- 5. Verify critical paths work

-

- **Example (Playwright):**

-

- ```python

- import pytest

- from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

-

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_user_registration_flow():

- """Test complete user registration flow"""

- async with async_playwright() as p:

- browser = await p.chromium.launch()

- page = await browser.new_page()

-

- # Navigate to registration page

- await page.goto("http://localhost:3000/register")

-

- # Fill registration form

- await page.fill('input[name="email"]', "testuser@example.com")

- await page.fill('input[name="password"]', "SecurePass123!")

- await page.fill('input[name="confirmPassword"]', "SecurePass123!")

-

- # Submit form

- await page.click('button[type="submit"]')

-

- # Wait for redirect to dashboard

- await page.wait_for_url("**/dashboard")

-

- # Verify user is logged in

- user_menu = await page.locator('[data-testid="user-menu"]')

- await expect(user_menu).to_be_visible()

-

- # Verify welcome message

- welcome = await page.locator('text=Welcome, testuser@example.com')

- await expect(welcome).to_be_visible()

-

- await browser.close()

- ```

-

- - ✅ Timely (written with or before code)

-

- **Test Naming:**

-

- ```python

- # ✅ GOOD - Descriptive test names

- def test_register_user_with_valid_email_creates_user():

- ...

-

- def test_register_user_with_duplicate_email_raises_error():

- ...

-

- # ❌ BAD - Vague test names

- def test_user1():

- ...

-

- def test_error():

- ...

- ```

-

- ### Code Coverage Requirements

-

- **Minimum Coverage:** 85%

- **Critical Paths:** 100% coverage

-

- - Payment processing

- - Authentication/authorization

- - Data validation

- ## Examples

- ### Example 1: Comprehensive Test Suite

- ```python

- # tests/unit/test_payment_processor.py

- import pytest

- from decimal import Decimal

- from datetime import datetime

- from unittest.mock import Mock, AsyncMock, patch

- class TestPaymentProcessor:

- """Comprehensive payment processor tests"""

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def payment_gateway(self):

- gateway = Mock()

- gateway.create_payment_intent = AsyncMock()

- gateway.confirm_payment = AsyncMock()

- return gateway

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def payment_repo(self):

- repo = Mock()

- repo.save = AsyncMock()

- repo.find_by_id = AsyncMock()

- return repo

-

- @pytest.fixture

- def processor(self, payment_gateway, payment_repo):

- return PaymentProcessor(payment_gateway, payment_repo)

-

- # Happy path tests

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_process_payment_success(self, processor, payment_gateway):

- # Arrange

- payment_gateway.create_payment_intent.return_value = "pi_123"

- payment_gateway.confirm_payment.return_value = True

-

- # Act

- result = await processor.process(

- amount=Decimal("100.00"),

- currency="usd",

- customer_id="cus_123"

- )

-

- # Assert

- assert result.status == PaymentStatus.COMPLETED

- assert result.intent_id == "pi_123"

- payment_gateway.create_payment_intent.assert_called_once()

- payment_gateway.confirm_payment.assert_called_once_with("pi_123")

-

- # Error cases

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_process_payment_gateway_error(self, processor, payment_gateway):

- # Arrange

- payment_gateway.create_payment_intent.side_effect = PaymentGatewayError("API Error")

-

- # Act & Assert

- with pytest.raises(PaymentProcessingError):

- await processor.process(Decimal("100.00"), "usd", "cus_123")

-

- # Edge cases

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- @pytest.mark.parametrize("amount,should_raise", [

- (Decimal("0.00"), True), # Zero amount

- (Decimal("-10.00"), True), # Negative amount

- (Decimal("0.01"), False), # Minimum amount

- (Decimal("999999.99"), False), # Large amount

- ])

- async def test_process_payment_amount_validation(

- self,

- processor,

- amount,

- should_raise

- ):

- if should_raise:

- with pytest.raises(InvalidAmountError):

- await processor.process(amount, "usd", "cus_123")

- else:

- # Should not raise

- await processor.process(amount, "usd", "cus_123")

-

- # Performance test

- @pytest.mark.asyncio

- async def test_process_payment_performance(self, processor):

- """Ensure payment processing completes within 2 seconds"""

- import time

-

- start = time.time()

- await processor.process(Decimal("100.00"), "usd", "cus_123")

- duration = time.time() - start

-

- assert duration < 2.0, f"Payment processing took {duration}s, expected < 2s"

- ```

- ## Best Practices

- ### 1. Follow AAA Pattern

- ```python

- # ✅ GOOD - Clear Arrange, Act, Assert sections

- async def test_create_user():

- # Arrange

- repo = Mock()

- repo.create = AsyncMock(return_value=User(id=1, email="test@example.com"))

-

- # Act

- user = await create_user("test@example.com", "password", repo)

-

- # Assert

- assert user.id == 1

- repo.create.assert_called_once()

- # ❌ BAD - Mixed responsibilities

- async def test_create_user():

- repo = Mock()

- user = await create_user("test@example.com", "password", repo)

- repo.create = AsyncMock(return_value=User(id=1, email="test@example.com"))

- assert user.id == 1

- ```

- ### 2. Use Fixtures for Setup

- ```python

- # ✅ GOOD - Reusable fixtures

- @pytest.fixture

- def valid_user_data():

- return {

- "email": "test@example.com",

- "password": "SecurePass123!"

- }

- def test_with_fixture(valid_user_data):

- user = create_user(**valid_user_data)

- assert user.email == valid_user_data["email"]

- # ❌ BAD - Repeated setup in every test

- def test_without_fixture():

- data = {"email": "test@example.com", "password": "SecurePass123!"}

- user = create_user(**data)

- ```

- ### 3. Test One Thing Per Test

- ```python

- # ✅ GOOD - Single responsibility

- def test_user_creation_sets_email():

- user = User(email="test@example.com")

- assert user.email == "test@example.com"

- def test_user_creation_sets_created_at():

- user = User(email="test@example.com")

- assert user.created_at is not None

- # ❌ BAD - Testing multiple things

- def test_user_creation():

- user = User(email="test@example.com")

- assert user.email == "test@example.com"

- assert user.created_at is not None

- assert user.is_active is True

- # If one fails, we don't know which assertion failed

- ```

- **Remember:** Quality is not an afterthought. Write tests first, ensure coverage, and maintain high standards.
