Test Creation And Execution

Test Creation & Execution Skill

This skill defines the testing standards, frameworks, conventions, and execution workflows for the GitHub Backup Automation System polyglot monorepo.

1. Branch-First Development

> [!IMPORTANT] > CREATE A LOCAL BRANCH FIRST: Always start by creating a local branch from main: > ``bash > git switch -c MishraShardendu22/main/ > ` > Never write tests or code directly on main`.

2. Testing Architecture & Frameworks

| Subsystem | Location | Framework & Tooling | Primary Test Command | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Go Backend & Worker | backend/ & backup-worker/ | Standard Go testing, httptest | make test-go (go test -v -race ./...) | | Python Observatory | agentic-observatory/ | Python unittest, unittest.mock, httpx | make test-py | | AI Agent & RAG | agentic-observatory/ | Tool-calling mocks, LangChain agent harness | make test-agents | | Frontend | frontend/ | Next.js Turbopack compiler, TypeScript tsc | cd frontend && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit |

3. Go Test Creation Standards

File Naming & Package Placement

• Test files MUST reside in the same package and end with _test.go (e.g. backend/handlers/health_test.go).
• Package declarations match the production package (e.g. package handlers or package handlers_test for black-box testing).

Table-Driven Tests Pattern

Always prefer table-driven testing in Go:

package config_test

import (
	"testing"
	"github.com/MishraShardendu22/github-backup/backend/config"
)

func TestConfigValidation(t *testing.T) {
	tests := []struct {
		name    string
		envMap  map[string]string
		wantErr bool
	}{
		{
			name: "valid configuration",
			envMap: map[string]string{
				"DATABASE_URL":    "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/db",
				"INTERNAL_SECRET": "secret123",
			},
			wantErr: false,
		},
		{
			name:    "missing required database url",
			envMap:  map[string]string{},
			wantErr: true,
		},
	}

	for _, tt := range tests {
		t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
			// Set environment, run validation, and assert
		})
	}
}

Mocking Fiber HTTP Handlers

app := fiber.New()
routes.Setup(app)

req := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "/health", nil)
resp, err := app.Test(req)
if err != nil || resp.StatusCode != fiber.StatusOK {
    t.Fatalf("expected 200 OK, got %d", resp.StatusCode)
}

3. Python Observatory Test Creation Standards

File Placement & Naming

• Unit tests reside in agentic-observatory/ with prefix test_*.py (e.g. test_observability.py, test_openrouter_keys.py, test_agent_suite.py).

Mocking OpenRouter & Async Endpoints

• Never perform live external API calls during automated tests.
• Use unittest.mock.patch to mock httpx.AsyncClient or ChatOpenAI:

import unittest
from unittest.mock import AsyncMock, patch
from main import app
from httpx import AsyncClient, ASGITransport

class TestObservabilityAPI(unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase):
    async def test_health_endpoint(self):
        transport = ASGITransport(app=app)
        async with AsyncClient(transport=transport, base_url="http://test") as client:
            resp = await client.get("/health")
            self.assertEqual(resp.status_code, 200)
            self.assertEqual(resp.json()["status"], "healthy")

4. Test Execution Runbook

# 1. Run all test suites across the monorepo
make test

# 2. Run Go backend and database unit tests
make test-go

# 3. Run Python Observatory test suite
make test-py

# 4. Run dedicated AI Agent & Tool-Calling RAG test suite
make test-agents

# 5. Run targeted Go package test
go test -v ./backend/handlers/...

# 6. Run single Python test file
cd agentic-observatory && uv run python -m unittest test_observability.py

---

5. Pre-Commit Verification

Always run make test and make test-agents before staging and committing any code changes.
