Test Coverage Areas

Each test includes:

✅ Rendering Tests

• Element type verification
• Children content display
• Data attributes presence

✅ Props Tests

• Prop variations
• Size/variant combinations
• Class name merging

✅ Styling Tests

• Layout classes (flex, grid)
• Spacing and sizing
• Dark mode variants
• Hover/active states

✅ Accessibility Tests

• ARIA attributes
• Semantic HTML
• Keyboard navigation
• Focus management

✅ Event Tests

• Click handlers
• Keyboard interaction
• Event propagation

✅ Snapshot Tests

• Default rendering
• Active states
• Variant combinations

Key Test Patterns

Rendering Verification

it('should render without crashing', () => {
  render(<Component />)
  expect(screen.getByTestId('component-id')).toBeInTheDocument()
})

Props Testing

it('should accept prop and apply styling', () => {
  render(<Component variant="outline" />)
  expect(screen.getByTestId('component')).toHaveClass('border')
})

Accessibility Testing

it('should be keyboard accessible', async () => {
  const user = userEvent.setup()
  render(<Component />)
  await user.tab()
  expect(screen.getByTestId('component')).toHaveFocus()
})

Snapshot Testing

it('should match snapshot', () => {
  const { container } = render(<Component />)
  expect(container.firstChild).toMatchSnapshot()
})

Components Covered

File Statistics

Common Test Organization

Each test file follows this structure:

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    jest.clearAllMocks()
  })

  describe('Rendering', () => {
    it('should render without crashing', () => { ... })
    it('should have proper data attributes', () => { ... })
  })

  describe('Props', () => {
    it('should accept prop', () => { ... })
  })

  describe('Accessibility', () => {
    it('should be keyboard accessible', () => { ... })
  })

  describe('Snapshot Tests', () => {
    it('should match snapshot', () => { ... })
  })
})

Troubleshooting

Test fails due to multiple elements with same text

Use getAllByText() or add additional selectors to narrow down:

const specific = screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Text' })

Snapshot mismatch

Review changes and update snapshot if correct:

npm test -- -u

Mock not defined

Ensure mocks are set up before rendering:

jest.mock('@/module', () => ({
  Component: () => <div data-testid="mock">Mock</div>
}))

Next Steps

To extend test coverage to additional components:

1. Follow the same test patterns
2. Include all test categories (Rendering, Props, Accessibility, etc.)
3. Add snapshot tests for component variations
4. Ensure 100% test pass rate
5. Run coverage check: npm test -- --collectCoverage
