1214## Testing Philosophy
1315
1416### 1. Progressive Coverage
17+
1518- Start with realistic thresholds (current: 13-16%)
1619- Gradually increase as the codebase matures
1720- Target: 50% overall coverage by v2.0
1821
1922### 2. Priority-Based Testing
23+
2024** High Priority** (Must have tests):
25+
2126- Business logic (optimizers, algorithms)
2227- Data transformations
2328- Utility functions
2429- Custom hooks
2530
2631** Medium Priority** (Nice to have):
32+
2733- Complex UI components
2834- API integrations
2935- State management
3036
3137** Low Priority** (Can rely on manual/E2E):
38+
3239- Simple UI components
3340- Static pages
3441- Style-only components

4452
4553#### Integration Tests (Future)
54+
4655- Test complete user flows
4756- Verify optimizer outputs with real data
4857- API endpoint testing
4958
5059#### E2E Tests (Future)
60+
5161- Critical user journeys
5262- Cross-browser compatibility
5363- Performance benchmarks

7284## Adding Tests
7385
7486### For New Features
87+
75881 . Write tests BEFORE implementation (TDD)
76892 . Ensure critical paths have tests
77903 . Add integration tests for complex features
7891
7992### For Bug Fixes
93+
80941 . Write a failing test that reproduces the bug
81952 . Fix the bug
82963 . Ensure test passes
8397
8498### For UI Components
99+
851001 . Focus on behavior, not implementation
861012 . Test user interactions
871023 . Verify accessibility
88103
89104## CI/CD Integration
90105
91106Tests run automatically on:
107+
92108- Every push to main
93109- All pull requests
94110- Pre-deployment checks
95111
96112### Handling Test Failures
113+
971141 . ** Coverage below threshold** : Add tests or adjust thresholds with justification
981152 . ** Test failures** : Fix immediately, don't skip tests
991163 . ** Flaky tests** : Investigate root cause, don't ignore
