Testing Pyramid

        /\
       /E2E\         <- Few, slow, expensive
      /------\
     /Integr.\      <- Some, medium speed
    /----------\
   /   Unit     \   <- Many, fast, cheap
  /--------------\

Unit Tests (70%)

• Individual function/method testing
• Fast execution (<1ms per test)
• No external dependencies
• High code coverage

Integration Tests (20%)

• Component interaction testing
• Database and API integration
• Medium execution speed
• Real dependencies

E2E Tests (10%)

• Complete user workflow testing
• Browser automation
• Slower execution
• Real environment

Common Tasks

Test Suite Creation

/wd:test create --type unit --target UserService
/wd:test create --type e2e --target login-flow

Test Execution

/wd:test run --type all
/wd:test run --type e2e --browser chromium

Coverage Analysis

/wd:test coverage --threshold 80
/wd:analyze test-coverage --depth deep

Performance Benchmarking

/wd:benchmark API-endpoints
/wd:benchmark --target homepage --metrics all

Best Practices

1. Test Organization

   • Clear test naming conventions
   • Logical test grouping
   • Proper test isolation
   • Descriptive test descriptions
   • Setup/teardown management

2. Test Quality

   • One assertion focus per test
   • Fast and reliable tests
   • No test interdependencies
   • Clear failure messages
   • Maintainable test code

3. Test Data

   • Use test fixtures
   • Generate test data programmatically
   • Avoid hardcoded values
   • Clean up test data
   • Realistic test scenarios

4. Mocking Strategy

   • Mock external dependencies
   • Use test doubles appropriately
   • Avoid over-mocking
   • Test real integrations where critical
   • Mock third-party services

5. CI/CD Integration

   • Run tests on every commit
   • Fail fast on test failures
   • Parallel test execution
   • Test result reporting
   • Flaky test management
