README.md

Keep all the test files in this directory. Name your test files with the .test.js suffix, matching the module or file you want to test.

Before running the integration testing start the backend server with

npm run dev

Run tests with

npm test

inside the back-end directory.

We are following Test-Driven Development (TDD) style guide for test codes. This guide emphasizes using assert-style assertions. For example:

import chai, { assert } from "chai";
import { yourFunctionToTest } from "../src/yourModule.js";

describe("Your Module Test Suite", () => {
  it("should perform a specific action", () => {
    const result = yourFunctionToTest();
    assert.equal(result, expectedValue);
  });

  it("should handle edge cases", () => {
    // Add your edge case tests here
  });
});

For reference Official Assert Documentation

Use sinon for stubs, mocks, and fakes. Use chaihttp to simplify testing of express.js routes.

Also checkout the dummy test file as working example of test file.

We are using c8 to check test coeverage. You can check test coverage with

npm run coverage

inside the back-end directory. Start the backend server before checking test coverage.
