Testing Strategies

When to use this skill

• 신규 프로젝트: 테스트 전략 수립
• 품질 문제: 버그 빈번히 발생
• 리팩토링 전: 안전망 구축
• CI/CD 구축: 자동화된 테스트

Instructions

Step 1: Test Pyramid 이해

Copy       /\
      /E2E\          ← 적음 (느림, 비용 높음)
     /______\
    /        \
   /Integration\    ← 중간
  /____________\
 /              \
/   Unit Tests   \  ← 많음 (빠름, 비용 낮음)
/________________\

비율 가이드:

• Unit: 70%
• Integration: 20%
• E2E: 10%

Step 2: Unit Testing 전략

Given-When-Then 패턴:

Copydescribe('calculateDiscount', () => {
  it('should apply 10% discount for orders over $100', () => {
    // Given: 주어진 상황
    const order = { total: 150, customerId: '123' };

    // When: 행동을 실행
    const discount = calculateDiscount(order);

    // Then: 결과 검증
    expect(discount).toBe(15);
  });

  it('should not apply discount for orders under $100', () => {
    const order = { total: 50, customerId: '123' };
    const discount = calculateDiscount(order);
    expect(discount).toBe(0);
  });

  it('should throw error for invalid order', () => {
    const order = { total: -10, customerId: '123' };
    expect(() => calculateDiscount(order)).toThrow('Invalid order');
  });
});

Mocking 전략:

Copy// 외부 의존성 모킹
jest.mock('../services/emailService');
import { sendEmail } from '../services/emailService';

describe('UserService', () => {
  it('should send welcome email on registration', async () => {
    // Arrange
    const mockSendEmail = sendEmail as jest.MockedFunction<typeof sendEmail>;
    mockSendEmail.mockResolvedValueOnce(true);

    // Act
    await userService.register({ email: 'test@example.com', password: 'pass' });

    // Assert
    expect(mockSendEmail).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
      to: 'test@example.com',
      subject: 'Welcome!',
      body: expect.any(String)
    });
  });
});

Step 3: Integration Testing

API 엔드포인트 테스트:

Copydescribe('POST /api/users', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await db.user.deleteMany();  // Clean DB
  });

  it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({
        email: 'test@example.com',
        username: 'testuser',
        password: 'Password123!'
      });

    expect(response.status).toBe(201);
    expect(response.body.user).toMatchObject({
      email: 'test@example.com',
      username: 'testuser'
    });

    // DB에 실제로 저장되었는지 확인
    const user = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { email: 'test@example.com' } });
    expect(user).toBeTruthy();
  });

  it('should reject duplicate email', async () => {
    // 첫 번째 사용자 생성
    await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({ email: 'test@example.com', username: 'user1', password: 'Pass123!' });

    // 중복 시도
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({ email: 'test@example.com', username: 'user2', password: 'Pass123!' });

    expect(response.status).toBe(409);
  });
});

Step 4: E2E Testing (Playwright)

Copyimport { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test.describe('User Registration Flow', () => {
  test('should complete full registration process', async ({ page }) => {
    // 1. 홈페이지 방문
    await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');

    // 2. 회원가입 버튼 클릭
    await page.click('text=Sign Up');

    // 3. 폼 작성
    await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
    await page.fill('input[name="username"]', 'testuser');
    await page.fill('input[name="password"]', 'Password123!');

    // 4. 제출
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    // 5. 성공 메시지 확인
    await expect(page.locator('text=Welcome')).toBeVisible();

    // 6. 대시보드로 리다이렉트 확인
    await expect(page).toHaveURL('http://localhost:3000/dashboard');

    // 7. 사용자 정보 표시 확인
    await expect(page.locator('text=testuser')).toBeVisible();
  });

  test('should show error for invalid email', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('http://localhost:3000/signup');
    await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'invalid-email');
    await page.fill('input[name="password"]', 'Password123!');
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    await expect(page.locator('text=Invalid email')).toBeVisible();
  });
});

Step 5: TDD (Test-Driven Development)

Red-Green-Refactor Cycle:

Copy// 1. RED: 실패하는 테스트 작성
describe('isPalindrome', () => {
  it('should return true for palindrome', () => {
    expect(isPalindrome('racecar')).toBe(true);
  });
});

// 2. GREEN: 테스트 통과하는 최소 코드
function isPalindrome(str: string): boolean {
  return str === str.split('').reverse().join('');
}

// 3. REFACTOR: 코드 개선
function isPalindrome(str: string): boolean {
  const cleaned = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '');
  return cleaned === cleaned.split('').reverse().join('');
}

// 4. 추가 테스트 케이스
it('should ignore case and spaces', () => {
  expect(isPalindrome('A man a plan a canal Panama')).toBe(true);
});

it('should return false for non-palindrome', () => {
  expect(isPalindrome('hello')).toBe(false);
});

테스트 전략 문서

Copy## Testing Strategy

### Coverage Goals
- Unit Tests: 80%
- Integration Tests: 60%
- E2E Tests: Critical user flows

### Test Execution
- Unit: Every commit (local + CI)
- Integration: Every PR
- E2E: Before deployment

### Tools
- Unit: Jest
- Integration: Supertest
- E2E: Playwright
- Coverage: Istanbul/nyc

### CI/CD Integration
- GitHub Actions: Run all tests on PR
- Fail build if coverage < 80%
- E2E tests on staging environment

Constraints

필수 규칙 (MUST)

1. 테스트 격리: 각 테스트는 독립적
2. Fast Feedback: Unit tests는 빠르게 (<1분)
3. Deterministic: 같은 입력 → 같은 결과

금지 사항 (MUST NOT)

1. 테스트 의존성: 테스트 A가 테스트 B에 의존 금지
2. 프로덕션 DB: 테스트에서 실제 DB 사용 금지
3. Sleep/Timeout: 시간 기반 테스트 지양

Best practices

1. AAA 패턴: Arrange-Act-Assert
2. 테스트 이름: "should ... when ..."
3. Edge Cases: 경계값, null, 빈 값 테스트
4. Happy Path + Sad Path: 성공/실패 시나리오 모두
