## 📚 **What lives here**

This directory contains the comprehensive test suite documentation for the AITBC platform.
It covers unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, security tests, and load tests.

## Recent Updates (April 13, 2026)

### ✅ Test Cleanup Completed
- **Archived Tests**: Removed legacy archived tests directory (6 files)
- **Conftest Consolidation**: Deleted duplicate conftest files, kept main conftest.py
- **Test Runner Cleanup**: Deleted run_all_phase_tests.py (phase2 missing)
- **Phase Tests Archived**: Moved phase3, phase4, phase5 to archived_phase_tests/
- **Active Tests**: phase1, cross_phase, production, integration remain active

## Previous Updates (March 30, 2026)

### ✅ Structure Improvements Completed
- **Scripts Organization**: Test scripts moved to `scripts/testing/` and `scripts/utils/`
- **Logs Consolidation**: All test logs now in `/var/log/aitbc/`
- **Virtual Environment**: Using central `/opt/aitbc/venv`
- **Development Environment**: Using `/etc/aitbc/.env` for configuration

## ✅ **Prerequisites**

### **Environment Setup**
```bash
# Run main project setup (if not already done)
./setup.sh

# Activate central virtual environment
source /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/activate

# Ensure test dependencies are installed
pip install pytest pytest-cov pytest-asyncio

# Set environment configuration
source /etc/aitbc/.env  # Central environment configuration
```

### **Service Requirements**
- AITBC blockchain node running
- Coordinator API service active
- Database accessible (SQLite/PostgreSQL)
- GPU services (if running AI tests)

## ▶️ **Running Tests**

### **Quick Start**
```bash
# Run all fast tests
python tests/test_runner.py

# Run comprehensive test suite
python tests/test_runner.py --all

# Run with coverage
python tests/test_runner.py --coverage
```

### **Specific Test Types**
```bash
# Unit tests only
python tests/test_runner.py --unit

# Integration tests only
python tests/test_runner.py --integration

# CLI tests only
python tests/test_runner.py --cli

# Performance tests
python tests/test_runner.py --performance
```

### **Advanced Testing**
```bash
# Comprehensive E2E testing
python scripts/testing/comprehensive_e2e_test_fixed.py

# Workflow testing
bash scripts/testing/test_workflow.sh

# All services testing
bash scripts/testing/test-all-services.sh
```

## 🧪 **Test Types**

### **Unit Tests**
- **Location**: `tests/unit/` (if exists)
- **Purpose**: Test individual components in isolation
- **Speed**: Fast (< 1 second per test)
- **Coverage**: Core business logic

### **Integration Tests**
- **Location**: `tests/integration/` and `tests/e2e/`
- **Purpose**: Test component interactions
- **Speed**: Medium (1-10 seconds per test)
- **Coverage**: API endpoints, database operations

### **End-to-End Tests**
- **Location**: `tests/e2e/` and `scripts/testing/`
- **Purpose**: Test complete workflows
- **Speed**: Slow (10-60 seconds per test)
- **Coverage**: Full user scenarios

### **Performance Tests**
- **Location**: `tests/load_test.py`
- **Purpose**: Test system performance under load
- **Speed**: Variable (depends on test parameters)
- **Coverage**: API response times, throughput

## ⚙️ **Configuration**

### **Test Configuration Files**
- **pytest.ini**: Pytest configuration (in root)
- **conftest.py**: Shared fixtures and configuration
- **pyproject.toml**: Project-wide test configuration

### **Environment Variables**
```bash
# Test database (different from production)
TEST_DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///test_aitbc.db

# Test logging
TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
TEST_LOG_FILE=/var/log/aitbc/test.log

# Test API endpoints
# Note: Port 8011 = Learning Service (updated port allocation)
TEST_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8011
```

## 🔄 **CI/CD Integration**

### **GitHub Actions**
Test suite is integrated with CI/CD pipeline:
- **Unit Tests**: Run on every push
- **Integration Tests**: Run on pull requests
- **E2E Tests**: Run on main branch
- **Performance Tests**: Run nightly

### **Local CI Simulation**
```bash
# Simulate CI pipeline locally
python tests/test_runner.py --all --coverage

# Generate coverage report
coverage html -o coverage_html/
```

## 🛠️ **Troubleshooting**

### **Common Issues**

#### **Test Failures Due to Services**
```bash
# Check service status
systemctl status aitbc-blockchain-node
systemctl status aitbc-coordinator

# Restart services if needed
sudo systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node
sudo systemctl restart aitbc-coordinator
```

#### **Environment Issues**
```bash
# Check virtual environment
which python
python --version

# Check dependencies
pip list | grep pytest

# Reinstall if needed
pip install -e .
```

#### **Database Issues**
```bash
# Reset test database
rm test_aitbc.db
python -m alembic upgrade head

# Check database connectivity
python -c "from aitbc_core.db import engine; print(engine.url)"
```

### **Test Logs**
All test logs are now centralized in `/var/log/aitbc/`:
- **test.log**: General test output
- **test_results.txt**: Test results summary
- **performance_test.log**: Performance test results

### **Getting Help**
1. Check test logs in `/var/log/aitbc/`
2. Review test documentation in `tests/docs/`
3. Run tests with verbose output: `pytest -v`
4. Check service status and configuration
