Testing Strategy - Maternal App

Target Coverage: 80%+ across all layers Testing Pyramid: Unit (70%) → Integration (20%) → E2E (10%)

---

1. Backend Testing (NestJS)

1.1 Unit Tests (Target: 70% of tests)

Tools: Jest, @nestjs/testing

What to Test:

• Services (Business Logic)

  • ComplianceService (data export, account deletion)
  • AuthService (registration with COPPA validation, login, token management)
  • ChildrenService (CRUD operations)
  • TrackingService (activity creation, daily summary)
  • AIService (chat, conversation memory)
  • VoiceService (intent classification, entity extraction)
  • EmbeddingsService (vector search, semantic memory)

• Guards

  • JwtAuthGuard
  • Public decorator

• Pipes

  • ValidationPipe (DTO validation)

• Utilities

  • Date calculations
  • Age verification (COPPA compliance)
  • Token generation

Example Test Structure:

describe('ComplianceService', () => {
  let service: ComplianceService;
  let userRepository: Repository<User>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    const module = await Test.createTestingModule({
      providers: [
        ComplianceService,
        { provide: getRepositoryToken(User), useClass: Repository },
      ],
    }).compile();

    service = module.get<ComplianceService>(ComplianceService);
  });

  it('should export user data with all entities', async () => {
    // Test implementation
  });

  it('should schedule account deletion with 30-day grace period', async () => {
    // Test implementation
  });
});

1.2 Integration Tests (Target: 20% of tests)

Tools: Jest, Supertest, @nestjs/testing

What to Test:

• API Endpoints (Controller + Service + Database)

  • POST /api/v1/compliance/data-export
  • POST /api/v1/compliance/request-deletion
  • POST /api/v1/auth/register (with COPPA validation)
  • POST /api/v1/auth/login
  • POST /api/v1/activities (tracking)
  • POST /api/v1/ai/chat

• Authentication Flows

  • Register → Login → Protected Route
  • Register with COPPA (age 13-17)
  • Register blocked (age < 13)

• Database Operations

  • CRUD operations with real database
  • Transaction rollbacks
  • Cascade deletions

Example Test Structure:

describe('ComplianceController (e2e)', () => {
  let app: INestApplication;
  let authToken: string;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    const moduleFixture = await Test.createTestingModule({
      imports: [AppModule],
    }).compile();

    app = moduleFixture.createNestApplication();
    await app.init();
  });

  it('/api/v1/compliance/data-export (GET)', () => {
    return request(app.getHttpServer())
      .get('/api/v1/compliance/data-export')
      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${authToken}`)
      .expect(200)
      .expect((res) => {
        expect(res.body.data).toHaveProperty('user');
        expect(res.body.data).toHaveProperty('children');
        expect(res.body.data).toHaveProperty('activities');
      });
  });
});

---

2. Frontend Testing (Next.js + React)

2.1 Unit Tests (Component Testing)

Tools: Jest, React Testing Library, @testing-library/user-event

What to Test:

• Components

  • DataExport component (button click, download trigger)
  • AccountDeletion component (dialog flow, deletion request)
  • Registration form (COPPA age validation, form submission)
  • Settings page (profile update, compliance sections)
  • Tracking forms (feeding, sleep, diaper)

• Redux Slices

  • authSlice (login, logout, token refresh)
  • childrenSlice (CRUD operations)
  • activitiesSlice (create, update, delete)
  • offlineSlice (sync queue, conflict resolution)

• API Clients

  • complianceApi (all methods)
  • authApi, childrenApi, trackingApi

• Utilities

  • Date formatting
  • Age calculation
  • Token storage

Example Test Structure:

import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import { DataExport } from '@/components/settings/DataExport';
import { complianceApi } from '@/lib/api/compliance';

jest.mock('@/lib/api/compliance');

describe('DataExport Component', () => {
  it('should download user data when button is clicked', async () => {
    const mockDownload = jest.fn();
    (complianceApi.downloadUserData as jest.Mock) = mockDownload;

    render(<DataExport />);

    const button = screen.getByText('Download My Data');
    fireEvent.click(button);

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(mockDownload).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
    });

    expect(screen.getByText('Your data has been downloaded successfully!')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it('should show error message on download failure', async () => {
    (complianceApi.downloadUserData as jest.Mock).mockRejectedValue(
      new Error('Network error')
    );

    render(<DataExport />);
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Download My Data'));

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText(/Failed to export data/)).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });
});

2.2 Integration Tests (API Interaction)

What to Test:

• Form submission with API calls
• Authentication flows
• Error handling and retry logic
• Optimistic updates with Redux

---

3. End-to-End Tests (Target: 10% of tests)

Tools: Playwright

Critical User Journeys:

3.1 Registration & COPPA Compliance

test('User under 13 cannot register', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/register');
  await page.fill('[name="name"]', 'John Doe');
  await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'john@example.com');
  await page.fill('[name="dateOfBirth"]', '2015-01-01'); // 9 years old
  await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecurePass123');
  await page.fill('[name="confirmPassword"]', 'SecurePass123');
  await page.check('[name="agreeToTerms"]');
  await page.check('[name="agreeToPrivacy"]');

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

  await expect(page.locator('text=/Users under 13/')).toBeVisible();
});

test('User 13-17 requires parental consent', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/register');
  await page.fill('[name="dateOfBirth"]', '2010-01-01'); // 14 years old

  // Parental email field should appear
  await expect(page.locator('[name="parentalEmail"]')).toBeVisible();
  await expect(page.locator('text=/parental consent/')).toBeVisible();
});

3.2 Account Deletion Flow

test('User can request account deletion and cancel it', async ({ page }) => {
  // Login
  await login(page, 'user@example.com', 'password');

  // Navigate to settings
  await page.goto('/settings');

  // Request deletion
  await page.click('text=Delete My Account');
  await page.fill('[name="reason"]', 'Testing deletion flow');
  await page.click('button:has-text("Delete Account")');

  // Verify deletion scheduled
  await expect(page.locator('text=/Account deletion scheduled/')).toBeVisible();

  // Cancel deletion
  await page.click('text=Cancel Deletion Request');
  await page.click('button:has-text("Cancel Deletion")');

  // Verify cancellation
  await expect(page.locator('text=/cancelled successfully/')).toBeVisible();
});

3.3 Data Export Flow

test('User can export their data', async ({ page }) => {
  await login(page, 'user@example.com', 'password');
  await page.goto('/settings');

  const [download] = await Promise.all([
    page.waitForEvent('download'),
    page.click('text=Download My Data')
  ]);

  expect(download.suggestedFilename()).toMatch(/maternal-app-data-export.*\.json/);
});

3.4 Activity Tracking Flow

test('User can track feeding activity', async ({ page }) => {
  await login(page, 'user@example.com', 'password');
  await page.goto('/track/feeding');

  await page.selectOption('[name="childId"]', { index: 0 });
  await page.fill('[name="amount"]', '120');
  await page.selectOption('[name="unit"]', 'ml');
  await page.click('button:has-text("Save")');

  await expect(page.locator('text=/Activity saved/')).toBeVisible();

  // Verify on dashboard
  await page.goto('/');
  await expect(page.locator('text=/Feeding/')).toBeVisible();
});

5. CI/CD Integration

5.1 GitHub Actions Workflow

Triggers:

• Push to main branch
• Pull request to main
• Scheduled nightly runs

Steps:

1. Checkout code
2. Setup Node.js (v20)
3. Install dependencies
4. Run linter (ESLint)
5. Run backend unit tests
6. Run backend integration tests
7. Run frontend tests
8. Run E2E tests
9. Generate coverage reports
10. Upload coverage to Codecov
11. Fail PR if coverage drops below 80%

Example .github/workflows/test.yml:

name: Test Suite

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  backend-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres:15
        env:
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: test
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready
          --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s
          --health-retries 5
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '20'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test -- --coverage

      - run: npm test -- --coverage

  e2e-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      - run: npx playwright install --with-deps
      - run: npm run test:e2e

6. Test Data Management

6.1 Test Database

• Use separate test database
• Seed with test fixtures
• Clean between tests

6.2 Test Fixtures

• Create factory functions for test data
• Predefined users, children, activities
• COPPA-compliant test scenarios (various ages)

Example:

export const testUsers = {
  adult: {
    name: 'Adult User',
    email: 'adult@example.com',
    dateOfBirth: '1990-01-01',
  },
  minor14: {
    name: 'Teen User',
    email: 'teen@example.com',
    dateOfBirth: '2010-01-01',
    parentalEmail: 'parent@example.com',
    coppaConsentGiven: true,
  },
  child12: {
    name: 'Child User',
    email: 'child@example.com',
    dateOfBirth: '2012-01-01', // Should be blocked
  },
};

---

7. Testing Best Practices

7.1 General Principles

• AAA Pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
• DRY: Don't Repeat Yourself (use factories and helpers)
• Fast: Keep unit tests under 100ms
• Isolated: No dependencies between tests
• Deterministic: Same input = same output

7.2 Mocking Strategy

• Mock external services (Azure OpenAI, Mailgun, MinIO)
• Mock time-dependent functions
• Use in-memory database for unit tests
• Real database for integration tests

7.3 Naming Conventions

describe('ServiceName', () => {
  describe('methodName', () => {
    it('should do something when condition', () => {
      // Test
    });

    it('should throw error when invalid input', () => {
      // Test
    });
  });
});
