Testing Patterns

AAA Pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert)

All tests follow this consistent pattern:

describe('Feature', () => {
  it('should do something specific', () => {
    // Arrange: Set up test data and mocks
    const mockData = { id: '1', title: 'Test' };
    const mockFn = jest.fn().mockReturnValue(mockData);

    // Act: Execute the function being tested
    const result = myFunction(mockData);

    // Assert: Verify the results
    expect(result).toEqual(expectedOutput);
    expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledWith(mockData);
  });
});

Test Data Factories

Mock data created once and reused:

const mockSnippet: Snippet = {
  id: '1',
  title: 'Test Snippet',
  description: 'Test Description',
  language: 'javascript',
  code: 'console.log("test")',
  category: 'general',
  hasPreview: false,
  createdAt: Date.now(),
  updatedAt: Date.now(),
  namespaceId: 'default',
  isTemplate: false,
};

Mock Isolation

Each test module mocks its dependencies:

jest.mock('@/lib/storage');
jest.mock('sonner');
jest.mock('@/lib/db');

beforeEach(() => {
  jest.clearAllMocks();
});

Async Testing with act()

React hooks properly tested with async/await:

await act(async () => {
  await result.current.handleOperation();
});

Test Case Categories

Normal Cases (Happy Path)

• Successful operations
• Valid inputs
• Expected workflows

Error Cases

• Network failures
• Invalid inputs
• Exception handling
• Error recovery

Edge Cases

• Null/undefined values
• Empty collections
• Boundary values
• Special characters
• Large datasets

Integration Scenarios

• Multi-step workflows
• Component interactions
• State transitions
• Data transformations

Best Practices Used

1. Test Isolation: Each test is independent
2. Mock Management: Clear setup and cleanup
3. Deterministic: No random or time-dependent behavior
4. Focused: One behavior per test
5. Readable: Clear names and structure
6. Maintainable: DRY with shared fixtures
7. Fast: Minimal overhead per test
8. Comprehensive: Coverage of all paths

Troubleshooting

Async Issues

Use act() wrapper for state updates:

await act(async () => {
  // Your async operations here
});

Mock Not Working

Ensure mocks are declared before imports:

jest.mock('@/lib/storage');
import { function } from '@/lib/storage';

IndexedDB Mocks

Create proper mock structure:

class MockIDBRequest {
  onsuccess: ((event: Event) => void) | null = null;
  onerror: ((event: Event) => void) | null = null;
}

Redux Testing

Mock hooks properly:

(reduxHooks.useAppDispatch as jest.Mock).mockReturnValue(mockDispatch);

Contributing

When adding new tests:

1. Follow AAA pattern
2. Create clear test descriptions
3. Use appropriate mocks
4. Add both happy path and error cases
5. Include edge case coverage
6. Update this documentation
