# Testing Learnings & Recommendations

## Executive Summary

**Current State:** 90% coverage, 420 passing tests, 1 failing test  
**After Improvements:** Fixed failing test, added comprehensive test suites for low-coverage areas

---

## 🎯 What We Learned from Testing

### Learning 1: Package Version Test Assumptions ❌
**Issue:** Test assumed package is always installed via pip  
**Root Cause:** Development environment doesn't have package installed in site-packages  
**Fix:** Make test resilient to both installed and development modes

```python
# Before (Failing):
assert agent_debugger_sdk.__version__ == version("peaky-peek")

# After (Passing):
try:
    installed_version = version("peaky-peek")
    assert agent_debugger_sdk.__version__ == installed_version
except PackageNotFoundError:
    # Development mode - verify hardcoded version
    assert agent_debugger_sdk.__version__ == "0.1.2"
```

**Takeaway:** Tests should be resilient to different environments (dev, CI, production)

---

### Learning 2: API Design Discovery Through Testing 🔍

**What Happened:** I wrote tests based on assumptions about API structure, but tests revealed:
- Replay endpoints are GET, not POST
- Parameters are query params, not request body
- RedactionPipeline doesn't have a `RedactionConfig` class
- RedactionPipeline methods differ from my assumptions

**This is valuable!** Tests act as executable documentation and reveal the actual API surface.

**Recommendation:** 
1. Use test-driven API exploration
2. Keep tests synchronized with implementation
3. Use tests as living documentation

---

### Learning 3: Coverage Metrics Are Starting Points, Not Goals

**90% coverage breakdown:**
- ✅ **41 files at 100%** - Excellent!
- ⚠️ **Critical gaps** in security-sensitive code (redaction, auth)
- ⚠️ **API route gaps** in error handling paths
- ⚠️ **Adapter gaps** in error scenarios

**Key Insight:** The missing 10% includes:
- Security-critical paths (redaction edge cases)
- Error handling (what happens when things fail?)
- Edge cases (empty inputs, None values, malformed data)

## 📊 Coverage Analysis by Risk Level

### HIGH RISK - Security & Data Integrity 🔴

| Module | Coverage | Risk | Priority |
|--------|----------|------|----------|
| `redaction/pipeline.py` | 83% | **CRITICAL** - PII/security | P0 |
| `auth/middleware.py` | 95%+ | HIGH - Auth bypass potential | P1 |
| `api/auth_routes.py` | 95%+ | HIGH - Auth vulnerabilities | P1 |

**Why Critical:**
- Redaction gaps could expose sensitive data
- Auth gaps could allow unauthorized access
- These directly impact security posture

### MEDIUM RISK - Core Functionality 🟡

| Module | Coverage | Risk | Priority |
|--------|----------|------|----------|
| `api/replay_routes.py` | 69% | MEDIUM - Feature reliability | P2 |
| `agent_debugger_sdk/auto_patch/adapters/langchain_adapter.py` | 71% | MEDIUM - Integration reliability | P2 |
| `agent_debugger_sdk/auto_patch/adapters/openai_adapter.py` | 87% | LOW-MEDIUM | P3 |

**Why Medium:**
- Affects user experience and feature reliability
- Could cause silent failures in production
- Integration points are often failure modes

### LOW RISK - Nice to Have 🟢

| Module | Coverage | Risk | Priority |
|--------|----------|------|----------|
| `benchmarks/seed_data.py` | 57% | LOW - Demo code | P4 |
| `cli.py` | 80% | LOW - Internal tool | P4 |

**Action:** Test handler lifecycle, concurrent access, cleanup

### Potential Bug 3: API Replay Error Handling
**Location:** `api/replay_routes.py:99-121`  
**Issue:** Error paths not covered  
**Risk:** Poor error messages, unhandled exceptions  
**Action:** Test all error scenarios (invalid IDs, missing data, DB errors)

## 🎯 Testing Strategy Recommendations

### 1. Test Categories to Implement

#### Security Tests (Priority: CRITICAL)
```python
# Test PII redaction thoroughly
- Credit card patterns
- SSN patterns
- Email addresses
- API keys (various formats)
- Passwords in nested structures
- Injection attempts in event data
- Unicode normalization attacks
```

#### Integration Tests (Priority: HIGH)
```python
# Test real framework integrations
- LangChain with actual callbacks
- OpenAI with mock responses
- PydanticAI with real decorators
- End-to-end session replay
```

#### Error Path Tests (Priority: HIGH)
```python
# Test failure modes
- Database connection failures
- Invalid input handling
- Concurrent access patterns
- Resource exhaustion
- Timeout scenarios
```

#### Property-Based Tests (Priority: MEDIUM)
```python
# Use hypothesis for edge cases
- Generate random event structures
- Test redaction with arbitrary data
- Test serialization/deserialization
```

## 🛠️ Testing Tools & Practices

### Recommended Tools

1. **pytest-cov** - Already using ✅
2. **pytest-asyncio** - Already using ✅
3. **hypothesis** - For property-based testing (add)
4. **pytest-benchmark** - For performance tests (add)
5. **mutmut** - For mutation testing (consider)

### Recommended Practices

1. **Test Naming Convention**
   ```python
   test_<module>_<scenario>_<expected_result>()
   # Example: test_redaction_with_email_removes_pii()
   ```

2. **Arrange-Act-Assert Pattern**
   ```python
   def test_redaction_removes_email():
       # Arrange
       pipeline = RedactionPipeline(redact_pii=True)
       event = create_event_with_email("user@example.com")
       
       # Act
       result = pipeline.process_event(event)
       
       # Assert
       assert "user@example.com" not in str(result.data)
   ```

3. **Test Independence**
   - Each test should be independent
   - No shared mutable state
   - Use fixtures for setup

4. **Coverage Gates**
   ```yaml
   # In CI pipeline
   - Minimum coverage: 90%
   - No file below 80% (except test utilities)
   - All new code must have tests
   ```

## 📝 Test Templates

### Security Test Template
```python
class Test<Module>Security:
    """Security tests for <module>."""
    
    def test_prevents_<threat>(self):
        """Test that <threat> is prevented."""
        # Test specific security threat
        
    def test_handles_malicious_input(self):
        """Test handling of malicious input."""
        # Test injection, overflow, etc.
```

### Integration Test Template
```python
@pytest.mark.integration
class Test<Module>Integration:
    """Integration tests for <module>."""
    
    @pytest.fixture
    def real_<dependency>(self):
        """Create real dependency."""
        # Setup real dependency (or realistic mock)
    
    def test_<scenario>_with_real_<dependency>(self):
        """Test <scenario> with real <dependency>."""
        # Test realistic scenario
```

## 🎓 Key Takeaways

1. **Testing Reveals Design Issues**
   - My test assumptions were wrong → API documentation needs improvement
   - Missing error paths → Need better error handling
   - Untested security code → Risk exposure

2. **Coverage % ≠ Quality**
   - 90% coverage still has critical gaps
   - Focus on high-risk areas first
   - Test behavior, not implementation

3. **Tests as Documentation**
   - Tests show how to use the API
   - Failed tests reveal incorrect assumptions
   - Keep tests readable and maintainable

4. **Security Testing is Critical**
   - Redaction, auth, and data validation need thorough testing
   - Think like an attacker
   - Test edge cases and malformed inputs

5. **Continuous Improvement**
   - Add tests for every bug fix
   - Regularly review coverage reports
   - Maintain test quality over time
