Tests

There are different types of tests executed:

  1. Unit tests
  2. Integration tests
  3. End-to-end (E2E) tests
  4. Automated checks

Unit and integration tests

  • They utilize Vitest.
  • Test files are suffixed with .spec.ts.

Act, arrange, assert

  • Tests implement the act, arrange, and assert (AAA) pattern.
  • Arrange
    • Sets up the test scenario and environment.
    • Begins with comment line // arrange.
  • Act
    • Executes the actual test.
    • Begins with comment line // act.
  • Assert
    • Sets an expectation for the test's outcome.
    • Begins with comment line // assert.

Unit tests

  • Evaluate individual components in isolation.
  • Located in ./tests/unit.
  • Achieve isolation using stubs where you place:
    • Common stubs in ./shared/Stubs,
    • Component-specific stubs in same folder as test file.
  • Include Vue component tests, enabled by @vue/test-utils.

Unit tests naming

  • Test suites start with a description of the component or system under test.
    • E.g., tests for Application.ts are contained in Application.spec.ts.
  • Whenever possible, describe blocks group tests of the same function.
    • E.g., tests for run() are inside describe('run', () => ...).

Integration tests

  • Assess the combined functionality of components.
  • They verify that third-party dependencies function as anticipated.

E2E tests

  • Examine the live web application's functionality and performance.
  • Uses Cypress to run the tests.

Automated checks

These checks validate various qualities like runtime execution, building process, security testing, etc.

Security checks

  • checks.security.sast: Utilizes CodeQL to conduct Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) to ensure the secure integrity of the codebase.
  • checks.security.dependencies: Performs audits on third-party dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, safeguarding the project from exploitable weaknesses.

Tests structure

  • package.json: Defines test commands and includes tools used in tests.
  • vite.config.ts: Configures vitest for unit and integration tests.
  • ./src/: Contains the code subject to testing.
  • ./tests/shared/: Contains code shared by different test categories.
  • ./tests/unit/
  • ./tests/integration/: Contains integration test files.
  • cypress.config.ts: Cypress (E2E tests) configuration file.
  • cypress-dirs.json: A central definition of directories used by Cypress, designed for reuse across different configurations.
  • ./tests/e2e/: Base Cypress folder, includes tests with .cy.ts extension.
    • [/tsconfig.json]: TypeScript configuration for file Cypress code, improves IDE support, recommended to have by official documentation.
    • (git ignored) /videos: Asset folder for videos taken during tests.
    • (git ignored) /screenshots: Asset folder for Screenshots taken during tests.
    • /support/e2e.ts: Support file, runs before every single test file.
    • /support/interactions/: Contains reusable functions for simulating user interactions, enhancing test readability and maintainability.
