📚 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# Check virtual environment
which python
python --version

# Check dependencies
pip list | grep pytest

# Reinstall if needed
pip install -e .

Database Issues

# 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
