Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

1. Red: Write a failing test
2. Green: Write minimal code to pass
3. Refactor: Improve code while keeping tests green

BDD Approach

describe('As a user, I want to manage my profile', () => {
  describe('Given I am logged in', () => {
    beforeEach(() => cy.login('user@example.com', 'password'));
    
    describe('When I visit my profile page', () => {
      beforeEach(() => cy.visit('/profile'));
      
      it('Then I should see my current information', () => {
        cy.get('[data-cy=user-name]').should('contain', 'John Doe');
        cy.get('[data-cy=user-email]').should('contain', 'user@example.com');
      });
      
      describe('And I click the edit button', () => {
        beforeEach(() => cy.get('[data-cy=edit-button]').click());
        
        it('Then I should be able to update my name', () => {
          cy.get('[data-cy=name-input]').clear().type('Jane Doe');
          cy.get('[data-cy=save-button]').click();
          cy.get('[data-cy=success-message]').should('be.visible');
        });
      });
    });
  });
});

CI/CD Pipeline Configuration

GitHub Actions Workflow

Test Quality & Maintenance

Coverage Quality Gates

# Check coverage thresholds
npm run test:coverage:check || {
  echo "Coverage below threshold!"
  exit 1
}

# Mutation testing
npm run test:mutation
SCORE=$(jq '.mutationScore' reports/mutation.json)
if (( $(echo "$SCORE < 80" | bc -l) )); then
  echo "Mutation score below 80%: $SCORE"
  exit 1
fi

Test Data Management

// Test factories for dynamic data
export const userFactory = (overrides = {}) => ({
  id: Math.random().toString(),
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john@example.com',
  createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  ...overrides
});

// Fixtures for static data
export const fixtures = {
  users: [
    { id: '1', name: 'Admin User', role: 'admin' },
    { id: '2', name: 'Regular User', role: 'user' }
  ]
};

Best Practices

Test Organization

• AAA Pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
• Single Responsibility: One assertion per test
• Descriptive Names: Tests should read like documentation
• Independent Tests: No shared state between tests
• Fast Execution: Keep unit tests under 100ms

Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• Conditional logic in tests
• Testing implementation details
• Overly complex test setup
• Shared mutable state
• Brittle selectors in E2E tests

Performance Optimization

• Use test.concurrent for parallel execution
• Mock external dependencies
• Minimize database operations
• Use test doubles appropriately
• Profile slow tests regularly

Remember: Tests are living documentation of your system's behavior. Maintain them with the same care as production code.
