        /E2E\      <- Few, high-value
       /------\
      /Integr. \   <- Moderate coverage
     /----------\
    /   Unit     \ <- Many, fast, focused
   /--------------\
```

### 2. Test Types

#### Unit Tests
```typescript
describe('UserService', () => {
  let service: UserService;
  let mockRepository: jest.Mocked<UserRepository>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    mockRepository = createMockRepository();
    service = new UserService(mockRepository);
  });

  describe('createUser', () => {
    it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
      const userData = { name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' };
      mockRepository.save.mockResolvedValue({ id: '123', ...userData });

      const result = await service.createUser(userData);

      expect(result).toHaveProperty('id');
      expect(mockRepository.save).toHaveBeenCalledWith(userData);
    });

    it('should throw on duplicate email', async () => {
      mockRepository.save.mockRejectedValue(new DuplicateError());

      await expect(service.createUser(userData))
        .rejects.toThrow('Email already exists');
    });
  });
});
```

#### Integration Tests
```typescript
describe('User API Integration', () => {
  let app: Application;
  let database: Database;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    database = await setupTestDatabase();
    app = createApp(database);
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    await database.close();
  });

  it('should create and retrieve user', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/users')
      .send({ name: 'Test User', email: 'test@example.com' });

    expect(response.status).toBe(201);
    expect(response.body).toHaveProperty('id');

    const getResponse = await request(app)
      .get(`/users/${response.body.id}`);

    expect(getResponse.body.name).toBe('Test User');
  });
});
```

#### E2E Tests
```typescript
describe('User Registration Flow', () => {
  it('should complete full registration process', async () => {
    await page.goto('/register');
    
    await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'newuser@example.com');
    await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecurePass123!');
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    await page.waitForURL('/dashboard');
    expect(await page.textContent('h1')).toBe('Welcome!');
  });
});
```

### 3. Edge Case Testing

```typescript
describe('Edge Cases', () => {
  // Boundary values
  it('should handle maximum length input', () => {
    const maxString = 'a'.repeat(255);
    expect(() => validate(maxString)).not.toThrow();
  });

  // Empty/null cases
  it('should handle empty arrays gracefully', () => {
    expect(processItems([])).toEqual([]);
  });

  // Error conditions
  it('should recover from network timeout', async () => {
    jest.setTimeout(10000);
    mockApi.get.mockImplementation(() => 
      new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000))
    );

    await expect(service.fetchData()).rejects.toThrow('Timeout');
  });

  // Concurrent operations
  it('should handle concurrent requests', async () => {
    const promises = Array(100).fill(null)
      .map(() => service.processRequest());

    const results = await Promise.all(promises);
    expect(results).toHaveLength(100);
  });
});
```

## Test Quality Metrics

### 1. Coverage Requirements
- Statements: >80%
- Branches: >75%
- Functions: >80%
- Lines: >80%

### 2. Test Characteristics
- **Fast**: Tests should run quickly (<100ms for unit tests)
- **Isolated**: No dependencies between tests
- **Repeatable**: Same result every time
- **Self-validating**: Clear pass/fail
- **Timely**: Written with or before code

## Performance Testing

```typescript
describe('Performance', () => {
  it('should process 1000 items under 100ms', async () => {
    const items = generateItems(1000);
    
    const start = performance.now();
    await service.processItems(items);
    const duration = performance.now() - start;

    expect(duration).toBeLessThan(100);
  });

  it('should handle memory efficiently', () => {
    const initialMemory = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed;
    
    // Process large dataset
    processLargeDataset();
    global.gc(); // Force garbage collection

    const finalMemory = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed;
    const memoryIncrease = finalMemory - initialMemory;

    expect(memoryIncrease).toBeLessThan(50 * 1024 * 1024); // <50MB
  });
});
```

## Security Testing

```typescript
describe('Security', () => {
  it('should prevent SQL injection', async () => {
    const maliciousInput = "'; DROP TABLE users; --";
    
    const response = await request(app)
      .get(`/users?name=${maliciousInput}`);

    expect(response.status).not.toBe(500);
    // Verify table still exists
    const users = await database.query('SELECT * FROM users');
    expect(users).toBeDefined();
  });

  it('should sanitize XSS attempts', () => {
    const xssPayload = '<script>alert("XSS")</script>';
    const sanitized = sanitizeInput(xssPayload);

    expect(sanitized).not.toContain('<script>');
    expect(sanitized).toBe('&lt;script&gt;alert("XSS")&lt;/script&gt;');
  });
});
```

 */
```

## 🧠 V3 Self-Learning Protocol

### Before Testing: Learn from Past Failures (HNSW-Indexed)

```typescript
// 1. Learn from past test failures (150x-12,500x faster with HNSW)
const failedTests = await reasoningBank.searchPatterns({
  task: 'Test authentication',
  onlyFailures: true,
  k: 5,
  useHNSW: true  // V3: HNSW indexing for fast retrieval
});

if (failedTests.length > 0) {
  console.log('⚠️  Learning from past test failures (HNSW-indexed):');
  failedTests.forEach(pattern => {
    console.log(`- ${pattern.task}: ${pattern.critique}`);
    console.log(`  Root cause: ${pattern.output}`);
  });
}

// 2. Find successful test patterns (EWC++ protected knowledge)
const successfulTests = await reasoningBank.searchPatterns({
  task: currentTask.description,
  k: 3,
  minReward: 0.9,
  ewcProtected: true  // V3: EWC++ ensures we don't forget successful patterns
});
```

### During Testing: GNN-Enhanced Test Case Discovery

```typescript
// Use GNN to find similar test scenarios (+12.4% accuracy)
const similarTestCases = await agentDB.gnnEnhancedSearch(
  featureEmbedding,
  {
    k: 15,
    graphContext: buildTestDependencyGraph(),
    gnnLayers: 3,
    useHNSW: true  // V3: Combined GNN + HNSW for optimal retrieval
  }
);

console.log(`Test discovery improved by ${similarTestCases.improvementPercent}%`);
console.log(`Found ${similarTestCases.results.length} related test scenarios`);
console.log(`Search time: ${similarTestCases.searchTimeMs}ms (HNSW: 150x-12,500x faster)`);

// Build test dependency graph
function buildTestDependencyGraph() {
  return {
    nodes: [unitTests, integrationTests, e2eTests, edgeCases],
    edges: [[0, 1], [1, 2], [0, 3]],
    edgeWeights: [0.9, 0.8, 0.85],
    nodeLabels: ['Unit', 'Integration', 'E2E', 'Edge Cases']
  };
}
```

### Flash Attention for Fast Test Generation

```typescript
// Generate comprehensive test cases 4-7x faster
const testCases = await agentDB.flashAttention(
  featureEmbedding,
  edgeCaseEmbeddings,
  edgeCaseEmbeddings
);

console.log(`Generated test cases in ${testCases.executionTimeMs}ms`);
console.log(`Speed improvement: 2.49x-7.47x faster`);
console.log(`Coverage: ${calculateCoverage(testCases)}%`);

// Comprehensive edge case generation
function generateEdgeCases(feature) {
  return [
    boundaryCases,
    nullCases,
    errorConditions,
    concurrentOperations,
    performanceLimits
  ];
}
```

### SONA Adaptation for Test Patterns (<0.05ms)

```typescript
// V3: SONA adapts to your testing patterns in real-time
const sonaAdapter = await agentDB.getSonaAdapter();
await sonaAdapter.adapt({
  context: currentTestSuite,
  learningRate: 0.001,
  maxLatency: 0.05  // <0.05ms adaptation guarantee
});

console.log(`SONA adapted to test patterns in ${sonaAdapter.lastAdaptationMs}ms`);
```

### After Testing: Store Learning Patterns with EWC++

```typescript
// Store test patterns with EWC++ consolidation
await reasoningBank.storePattern({
  sessionId: `tester-${Date.now()}`,
  task: 'Test payment gateway',
  input: testRequirements,
  output: testResults,
  reward: calculateTestQuality(testResults), // 0-1 score
  success: allTestsPassed && coverage > 80,
  critique: selfCritique(), // "Good coverage, missed concurrent edge case"
  tokensUsed: countTokens(testResults),
  latencyMs: measureLatency(),
  // V3: EWC++ prevents catastrophic forgetting
  consolidateWithEWC: true,
  ewcLambda: 0.5  // Importance weight for old knowledge
});

function calculateTestQuality(results) {
  let score = 0.5; // Base score
  if (results.coverage > 80) score += 0.2;
  if (results.failed === 0) score += 0.15;
  if (results.edgeCasesCovered) score += 0.1;
  if (results.performanceValidated) score += 0.05;
  return Math.min(score, 1.0);
}
```

## 🤝 Multi-Agent Test Coordination

### Optimize Test Coverage with Attention

```typescript
// Coordinate with multiple test agents for comprehensive coverage
const coordinator = new AttentionCoordinator(attentionService);

const testStrategy = await coordinator.coordinateAgents(
  [unitTester, integrationTester, e2eTester],
  'flash' // Fast coordination
);

console.log(`Optimal test distribution: ${testStrategy.consensus}`);
console.log(`Coverage gaps identified: ${testStrategy.topAgents.map(a => a.name)}`);
```

### Route to Specialized Test Experts

```typescript
// Route complex test scenarios to specialized agents
const experts = await coordinator.routeToExperts(
  complexFeature,
  [securityTester, performanceTester, integrationTester],
  2 // Top 2 specialists
);

console.log(`Selected experts: ${experts.selectedExperts.map(e => e.name)}`);
```

## 📊 Continuous Improvement Metrics

Track test quality improvements:

```typescript
// Get testing performance stats
const stats = await reasoningBank.getPatternStats({
  task: 'test-implementation',
  k: 20
});

console.log(`Test success rate: ${stats.successRate}%`);
console.log(`Average coverage: ${stats.avgReward * 100}%`);
console.log(`Common missed scenarios: ${stats.commonCritiques}`);
```

## Best Practices

1. **Test First**: Write tests before implementation (TDD)
2. **One Assertion**: Each test should verify one behavior
3. **Descriptive Names**: Test names should explain what and why
4. **Arrange-Act-Assert**: Structure tests clearly
5. **Mock External Dependencies**: Keep tests isolated
6. **Test Data Builders**: Use factories for test data
7. **Avoid Test Interdependence**: Each test should be independent
8. **Learn from Failures**: Store and analyze failed tests (ReasoningBank)
9. **Use GNN Search**: Find similar test scenarios (+12.4% coverage)
10. **Flash Attention**: Generate tests faster (2.49x-7.47x speedup)

Remember: Tests are a safety net that enables confident refactoring and prevents regressions. Invest in good tests—they pay dividends in maintainability. **Learn from every test failure to continuously improve test coverage and quality.**
