Testing Plan #71

Testing Approaches

We will follow a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach whereby initial test cases are written before application components are developed. As our database is central to our feature development, test cases will largely rely on mock user data supplied to our MongoDB Atlas Cloud Database. As we ease into the development of application components, we will begin with black-box testing and move toward white-box testing as we approach the completion of critical features.

Test Frameworks

As we are using Next.js as our React framework, we are using Jest as our testing framework. For every component that we build, we will write the equivalent test cases that cover all aspects of its functionality. We also intend to set up GitHub actions to facilitate automatic testing and ensure that all prior test cases pass as new functionality is added. Jest provides a variety of key features including automated testing, built-in assertations, mocking, code coverage and asynchronous testing that makes it highly beneficial for our project.

Test Workflow

All tests are written under the __tests__ directory of our frontend folder. Each test follows the convention of testName.test.tsx and should only test one feature or component. A group of tests can be compiled under each component test but they need to be isolated to that particular feature.

Specific Details

To run all tests, execute npm run test:jest while in the application/frontend directory.

@notbaopham Let me know what you think about this initial testing plan. Feel free to add to it.

@notbaopham @ThunderIW @TobyNguyen710 @Hocng7 I have posted the latest version to the testingPlan.md file under the testing-plan branch.

@notbaopham Let me know what you think about this initial testing plan. Feel free to add to it. Sorry for the late reply - definitely and fully on with the testing plan. It is relatively very ambiguous about what the professor and the TA want, so the least we can tackle right now is the black-box testing that has a good description of the coverage. By now, we would all have exposure to Jest, and I would say that it is a really good testing library.
