Comprehensive Test Strategy for JudgeFinder Platform

Overview

This document outlines the comprehensive testing strategy for all refactored code in the JudgeFinder Platform. Our goal is to ensure no regressions, maintain code quality, and provide confidence in the correctness of all changes.

Test Coverage Goals

Coverage Targets

  • Lines: 60% minimum, 70% target
  • Functions: 60% minimum, 70% target
  • Branches: 50% minimum, 60% target
  • Statements: 60% minimum, 70% target

Current Coverage (Baseline)

Run npm run test:coverage to see current coverage metrics.

Test Pyramid Structure

              E2E Tests (10%)
            /              \
       Integration Tests (30%)
      /                        \
    Unit Tests (60%)

Unit Tests (60% of total tests)

Fast, isolated tests for individual functions and components.

Location: tests/unit/

Coverage:

  • Data quality validation modules
  • Sync processors (court, judge, decision)

  • Type validators

Integration Tests (30% of total tests)

Tests that verify module interactions and database operations.

Location: tests/integration/

  • Data quality validation workflow
  • Sync module interactions
  • Database operations
  • API endpoint integration
  • Authentication flows

E2E Tests (10% of total tests)

End-to-end user flows using Playwright.

Coverage:

  • Judges directory page
  • Judge profile pages
  • Search and filter functionality
  • Court pages
  • Navigation flows

Running Tests

Quick Start

# Run all unit tests
npm run test:unit

# Run all integration tests
npm run test:integration

# Run all E2E tests
npm run test:e2e

# Run complete test suite
npm run test:all

# Run with coverage report
npm run test:coverage

Development Workflow

# Watch mode for active development
npm run test:watch

# Run specific test file
npx vitest tests/unit/lib/sync/data-quality/validator.test.ts

# Run tests matching pattern
npx vitest --grep "Data Quality"

CI/CD Pipeline

# CI test command (includes linting and type checking)
npm run test:ci

Test Patterns

Unit Test Pattern (AAA)

describe('Feature', () => {
  // Arrange
  beforeEach(() => {
    // Setup mocks and test data
  })

  it('should do something specific', async () => {
    // Arrange
    const input = {
      /* test data */
    }

    // Act
    const result = await functionUnderTest(input)

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(expectedOutput)
  })
})

Integration Test Pattern

describe('Feature Integration', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    // Setup test database/environment
  })

  afterAll(async () => {
    // Cleanup test database/environment
  })

  it('should perform end-to-end operation', async () => {
    // Test with real database/services
    const result = await performOperation()

    expect(result).toBeDefined()
    // Verify database state
  })
})

E2E Test Pattern

test.describe('User Flow', () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/path')
  })

  test('should complete user journey', async ({ page }) => {
    // Interact with page
    await page.click('[data-testid="button"]')

    // Verify outcome
    await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible()
  })
})

Mocking Strategy

Database Mocks

// Mock Supabase client
const mockSupabase = {
  from: vi.fn(() => ({
    select: vi.fn(),
    insert: vi.fn(),
    update: vi.fn(),
  })),
}

API Mocks

// Mock external APIs
vi.mock('@/lib/courtlistener/client', () => ({
  CourtListenerClient: {
    getCourt: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockCourtData),
  },
}))

Component Mocks

// Mock Next.js router
vi.mock('next/navigation', () => ({
  useRouter: () => ({
    push: vi.fn(),
    replace: vi.fn(),
  }),
}))

Test Data Management

Fixtures

Located in tests/fixtures/:

  • judges.json - Sample judge data
  • courts.json - Sample court data
  • cases.json - Sample case data

Factories

// tests/helpers/factories.ts
export const createMockJudge = (overrides = {}) => ({
  id: 'judge-1',
  name: 'Test Judge',
  court_id: 'court-1',
  ...overrides,
})

Accessibility Testing

All component tests should include basic a11y checks:

import { axe } from 'jest-axe'

it('should have no accessibility violations', async () => {
  const { container } = render(<Component />)
  const results = await axe(container)
  expect(results).toHaveNoViolations()
})

Performance Testing

Load Time Tests

test('should load within acceptable time', async ({ page }) => {
  const startTime = Date.now()
  await page.goto('/judges')
  const loadTime = Date.now() - startTime
  expect(loadTime).toBeLessThan(3000)
})

Batch Processing Tests

it('should handle large datasets efficiently', async () => {
  const largeDataset = Array(1000).fill(mockData)
  const startTime = Date.now()
  await processData(largeDataset)
  const duration = Date.now() - startTime
  expect(duration).toBeLessThan(5000)
})

Visual Regression Testing

Using Playwright's screenshot capabilities:

test('judges directory matches snapshot', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/judges')
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('judges-directory.png')
})
