## Coverage Breakdown

**Current: 74.27% (261 tests)**

| Module          | Coverage | Priority            |
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------- |
| Core algorithms | 85-100%  | ✅ High             |
| API             | 63%      | ✅ Medium           |
| CLI             | 62-89%   | ✅ Medium           |
| Debug overlays  | 10-36%   | ⚠️ Low (acceptable) |

**Target:** Maintain ≥50% with focus on critical paths

## Testing Best Practices

**Test Structure (AAA Pattern):**

```python
def test_velocity_calculation():
    # Arrange: Set up test data
    positions = np.array([0.0, 1.0, 2.0])
    dt = 0.1

    # Act: Execute function
    velocities = calculate_velocity(positions, dt)

    # Assert: Verify results
    expected = np.array([10.0, 10.0])
    np.testing.assert_allclose(velocities, expected)
```

**Edge Cases to Test:**

- Empty arrays/lists
- Single-element arrays
- NaN/inf values
- Zero-length videos
- Single-frame videos
- Very long videos
- Negative times
- Invalid file paths

**Numerical Testing:**

```python
# Use appropriate tolerance for floating point
np.testing.assert_allclose(result, expected, rtol=1e-6, atol=1e-9)

# For approximate comparisons
assert abs(result - expected) < 0.01
```

## Test Fixtures

**Common Fixtures (conftest.py):**

```python
@pytest.fixture
def sample_landmarks():
    """Realistic MediaPipe landmark sequence."""
    return create_synthetic_landmarks(n_frames=100)

@pytest.fixture
def drop_jump_video(tmp_path):
    """Generate synthetic drop jump video."""
    video_path = tmp_path / "dropjump.mp4"
    create_test_video(video_path, jump_type="drop")
    return video_path
```

**Fixture Best Practices:**

- Use `tmp_path` for file operations
- Clean up resources after tests
- Make fixtures reusable across modules
- Document fixture purpose

## Edge Case Categories

**Video Processing:**

- Corrupted video files
- Unsupported codecs
- Zero-duration videos
- Very high/low FPS
- Rotated mobile videos
- Poor lighting/occlusion

**Numerical Stability:**

- Division by zero
- Very small time steps
- Large coordinate values
- Filtering edge effects
- Numerical derivative noise

**Algorithm Edge Cases:**

- No landmarks detected
- Landmark confidence too low
- No jumps detected in video
- Multiple jumps in sequence
- Incomplete jumps (cut off)

## Regression Testing

**When to Add Regression Tests:**

- After fixing a bug
- After algorithm changes
- When metrics change unexpectedly
- When edge cases are discovered

**Regression Test Pattern:**

```python
def test_rsi_calculation_regression():
    """Regression test for RSI calculation bug #42."""
    # Use specific values that triggered the bug
    flight_time = 0.5
    contact_time = 0.15

    rsi = calculate_rsi(flight_time, contact_time)

    # Expected value from validated calculation
    assert abs(rsi - 3.33) < 0.01
```

## Integration Points

- Tests code from Backend Developer
- Validates metrics from Biomechanics Specialist
- Tests video pipeline from Computer Vision Engineer
- Uses parameters from ML/Data Scientist

## Decision Framework

When creating tests:

1. Identify critical paths (what must work?)
1. List edge cases (what can go wrong?)
1. Design minimal test data
1. Write test before/with implementation (TDD)
1. Verify test actually catches bugs (introduce bug, test should fail)

## Output Standards

- All tests must pass before committing
- Use descriptive test names (test_velocity_calculation_with_single_frame)
- Include docstrings for complex tests
- Use appropriate assertions (assert_allclose for floats)
- Avoid flaky tests (no random timing, network calls)

## Running Tests

**Local:**

```bash
uv run pytest                      # All tests with coverage
uv run pytest -v                   # Verbose output
uv run pytest -k "test_name"       # Run specific test
uv run pytest --cov-report=html    # HTML coverage report
```

**CI:**

- Runs on every push and PR
- Uploads coverage to SonarCloud
- Fails on test failures or coverage drops

## Test Quality Checklist

**New Test Requirements:**

- [ ] Follows AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
- [ ] Has descriptive name
- [ ] Tests one thing
- [ ] Includes edge cases
- [ ] Uses appropriate assertions
- [ ] Cleans up resources
- [ ] Runs quickly (\<1s unit tests)
- [ ] Doesn't depend on test order

## Common Test Patterns

**Parameterized Tests:**

```python
@pytest.mark.parametrize("quality,expected_confidence", [
    ("fast", 0.3),
    ("balanced", 0.5),
    ("accurate", 0.7),
])
def test_quality_preset_confidence(quality, expected_confidence):
    config = get_quality_config(quality)
    assert config["confidence"] == expected_confidence
```

**Exception Testing:**

```python
def test_invalid_video_path_raises():
    with pytest.raises(FileNotFoundError):
        process_video("nonexistent.mp4")
```

**Mock External Dependencies:**

```python
def test_video_processing_with_mock(mocker):
    mock_mediapipe = mocker.patch("kinemotion.core.pose.mp.solutions.pose")
    # Test without actually running MediaPipe
```

## Coverage Improvement Strategy

**Priority Order:**

1. Core algorithms (analysis, kinematics) → 85-100%
1. API and integration → 60-80%
1. CLI commands → 60-80%
1. Debug/visualization → 20-40% (optional)

**Finding Untested Code:**

```bash
# Generate HTML coverage report
uv run pytest --cov-report=html
open htmlcov/index.html

# Look for red (untested) lines
# Focus on critical functions first
```
