## Testing Patterns

### AAA Pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert)
All tests follow this consistent pattern:

```typescript
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:

```typescript
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:

```typescript
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:

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

## Coverage Metrics

### Baseline (0% before)
All target modules had zero test coverage

### Expected After Tests
- **src/lib/storage.ts**: 85%+
- **src/lib/indexeddb-storage.ts**: 80%+
- **src/lib/pyodide-runner.ts**: 75%+
- **src/hooks/useSnippetForm.ts**: 90%+
- **src/hooks/useDatabaseOperations.ts**: 85%+
- **src/hooks/useStorageConfig.ts**: 85%+
- **src/hooks/useStorageMigration.ts**: 80%+
- **src/hooks/useSettingsState.ts**: 80%+
- **src/hooks/useSnippetManager.ts**: 75%+
- **src/store/slices/snippetsSlice.ts**: 85%+

**Overall Improvement:** 30%+ increase in coverage

## 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:
```typescript
await act(async () => {
  // Your async operations here
});
```

### Mock Not Working
Ensure mocks are declared before imports:
```typescript
jest.mock('@/lib/storage');
import { function } from '@/lib/storage';
```

### IndexedDB Mocks
Create proper mock structure:
```typescript
class MockIDBRequest {
  onsuccess: ((event: Event) => void) | null = null;
  onerror: ((event: Event) => void) | null = null;
}
```

### Redux Testing
Mock hooks properly:
```typescript
(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
