Separation of Unit Test In TADP #331

Closed cshezi closed 6 months ago

cshezi commented 11 months ago

Description:

The current state of our unit tests in TADProc has become unwieldy due to the accumulation of a large number of tests in a single script from the Handle Typology Unit, Channels Unit, and Logic Unit. This has led to challenges in maintainability and readability. To address this issue, I propose the separation of unit tests into a logical and organized test suite.

Objective:

The goal of this enhancement is to enhance the maintainability, readability, and scalability of our unit tests. By organizing the tests into a suite, we can achieve the following objectives:

  1. Modularity: Break down the existing monolithic script into smaller, modular test suites based on functional or logical groupings.

  2. Readability: Improve code readability by having focused and concise test suites, making it easier for developers to understand and navigate the tests.

  3. Maintainability: Facilitate easier maintenance and updates by isolating tests into distinct suites, reducing the risk of unintended side effects when modifying or adding new tests.

  4. Scalability: Provide a foundation for future scalability by allowing the addition of new tests without compromising the overall structure of the test suite.

Proposed Solution:

  1. Identify logical groupings for the existing unit tests based on functionality or module.

  2. Create separate test suites for each identified grouping, ensuring that each suite is focused on a specific aspect of the codebase.

  3. Refactor the existing tests into their respective suites, updating any necessary dependencies and configurations.

  4. Ensure that the separation does not introduce any regressions or conflicts between the tests.

Benefits:

  1. Improved Organization: Tests will be organized in a more logical and structured manner, enhancing overall project organization.

  2. Ease of Maintenance: Smaller, focused test suites make it easier to identify and address issues, reducing maintenance efforts.

  3. Collaboration: Enhances collaboration among developers by providing a clear and organized test structure.

  4. Scalability: Sets the foundation for adding new tests without impacting the existing suite, promoting scalability.

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. The unit tests have been successfully separated into logical and modular test suites.

  2. Each test suite runs independently without dependencies on other suites.

  3. The separation does not introduce any new failures or regressions.

  4. The overall test coverage remains consistent or is improved.
