✅ 5. Performance Testing

Artillery Configuration (artillery.yml)

Test Scenarios:

Scenario	Weight	Purpose
User Registration/Login	10%	Auth flow validation
Track Baby Activities	50%	Core feature (most common)
View Analytics Dashboard	20%	Read-heavy operations
AI Chat Interaction	15%	LLM integration load
Family Collaboration	5%	Multi-user scenarios

Load Phases:

1. Warm-up: 5 users/sec × 60s
2. Ramp-up: 5→50 users/sec × 120s
3. Sustained: 50 users/sec × 300s
4. Spike: 100 users/sec × 60s

Performance Thresholds:

• Max Error Rate: 1%
• P95 Response Time: <2 seconds
• P99 Response Time: <3 seconds

✅ 6. Test Coverage Reporting

Current Coverage Status:

Overall Coverage: 27.93%
├── Statements: 27.95%
├── Branches: 22.04%
├── Functions: 17.44%
└── Lines: 27.74%

Module-Level Breakdown:

Module	Coverage	Status	Tests
AI Service	97.14%	✅ Excellent	27
Auth Service	86.17%	✅ Good	20+
Tracking Service	87.91%	✅ Good	55
Children Service	91.42%	✅ Excellent	15
Families Service	59.21%	⚠️ Needs work	13
Analytics Services	0%	❌ Not tested	0
Voice Service	0%	❌ Not tested	0
Controllers	~0%	❌ Not tested	0

Coverage Gaps Identified:

• Controllers need integration tests
• Analytics module (pattern analysis, predictions, reports)
• Voice processing (Whisper integration)
• WebSocket gateway (families.gateway.ts)

✅ 7. Comprehensive Documentation

Testing Documentation (TESTING.md)

Contents:

• Test structure and organization
• Running tests (unit, E2E, performance)
• Writing test examples (unit + E2E)
• Coverage goals and current status
• Performance testing guide
• CI/CD integration details

2. Unit test template with mocking
3. E2E test template with database cleanup
4. Artillery performance testing
5. Coverage checking and reporting
6. CI/CD simulation locally
7. Troubleshooting common issues

Testing Best Practices Implemented

1. Test Isolation

beforeEach(() => {
  // Fresh mocks for each test
  jest.clearAllMocks();
});

afterAll(async () => {
  // Database cleanup
  await dataSource.query('DELETE FROM ...');
  await app.close();
});

2. Descriptive Test Names

it('should throw ForbiddenException when user lacks invite permissions', () => {});
// Instead of: it('test permissions', () => {});

3. AAA Pattern

// Arrange
const mockData = { ... };
jest.spyOn(repository, 'find').mockResolvedValue(mockData);

// Act
const result = await service.findAll();

// Assert
expect(result).toEqual(mockData);
expect(repository.find).toHaveBeenCalled();

4. Comprehensive Mocking

• Repository mocks for database isolation
• HTTP service mocks for external APIs
• ConfigService mocks for environment variables
• Date/time mocks for consistency

5. Error Case Testing

• NotFoundException for missing resources
• ForbiddenException for authorization failures
• BadRequestException for invalid input
• ConflictException for duplicate data
