# Test Documentation
This document describes the automated tests implemented for the Home Monitor project. The tests are written with Cypress and are organized into two distinct categories: unit tests and end-to-end (E2E) tests.
## Test Types and Structure
The tests are organized in separate folders according to their type:
### 1. Unit Tests (`tests/unit/`)
Unit tests focus on testing individual components or classes in isolation, without dependencies on other parts of the system.
- **Example**: `Serie.spec.ts` - Tests the `Serie` class methods and functionality in isolation
- **Purpose**: Verify that individual components work correctly on their own
- **Characteristics**: Fast, focused, and test a single unit of code
### 2. End-to-End Tests (`tests/e2e/`)
E2E tests simulate real user scenarios by testing the entire application flow from start to finish.
- **Example**: `app.spec.ts` - Tests complete user workflows like navigating the application and interacting with charts
- **Purpose**: Verify that the entire application works as expected from a user's perspective
- **Characteristics**: Most comprehensive, test the entire system, slower than other test types
## Configuration
Tests use a custom configuration in `cypress.unit.js` that allows different test types to run with appropriate settings. Key features:
- Unit tests run without isolation (can share context)
- E2E tests run with isolation (fresh environment for each test)
- All tests can run without requiring a server (baseUrl is set to null)
- Optimized settings for performance (no videos, screenshots disabled by default)
## Running Tests
### Running Specific Test Types
```bash
# Run unit tests
npm run test:unit
# Run E2E tests
npm run test:e2e
```
### Running All Tests
```bash
npm run test
```
### Using Cypress GUI
To run tests through the Cypress graphical interface:
```bash
npm run cypress:open
```
This method is particularly useful during development, as it allows you to:
- View tests in real-time
- Inspect DOM elements
- Replay individual tests
- See a detailed overview of the executed steps
## Detailed Test Examples
### Unit Tests for Serie Class
The unit tests (`tests/unit/Serie.spec.ts`) verify that the Serie class works correctly in isolation:
- **Initialization**: Tests that the class initializes with the correct properties
- **Label Generation**: Tests that the `getLabel()` method returns the correct label based on series type
- **Data Formatting**: Tests that the `getSerie()` method correctly formats data for the chart library
### E2E Tests for Application
The E2E tests (`tests/e2e/app.spec.ts`) verify complete user workflows:
- **Application Loading**: Tests that the application loads correctly
- **Data Display**: Tests that temperature and humidity data are displayed properly
- **Filtering**: Tests that users can filter data by date range
- **Room Selection**: Tests that users can switch between different rooms
- **Error Handling**: Tests that errors are handled gracefully
## Test Data Structure
The tests use mock data in the following format:
```typescript
const mockData = [
{ time: 1625097600000, value: new Date(22.5) },
{ time: 1625184000000, value: new Date(23.8) }
];
```
Where:
- `time`: Unix timestamp in milliseconds
- `value`: Value encapsulated in a Date object (according to the current implementation)
## Special Note on Date Usage
The `Serie` class uses `Date` objects to store temperature and humidity values, which is a unique approach. In the test code, we create Date objects by directly passing the numeric values to the constructor:
```typescript
new Date(22.5) // For a temperature of 22.5°C
new Date(45) // For a humidity of 45%
```
This approach is specific to the current implementation of the `Serie` class and might be modified in the future to directly use numeric values.
## Best Practices
## Test Organization
1. **Test Hierarchy**:
- Unit tests -> E2E tests
- Tests should get progressively more comprehensive
- Most of your tests should be unit tests (faster and more focused)
2. **AAA Structure**: Tests follow the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern:
- **Arrange**: Prepare test data and environment
- **Act**: Execute the action being tested
- **Assert**: Verify the expected results
3. **Isolation**: Each test should be independent and not depend on shared state
### Test Troubleshooting
If tests fail, check the following:
1. **Server Issues**: If you're running E2E tests that require a server, make sure it's started on the appropriate port
2. **API Changes**: If the classes or components are modified, tests must be updated accordingly
3. **Synchronization Issues**: Cypress might need additional time for certain operations
4. **Environment Issues**: Verify that all dependencies are installed with `npm install`
## Future Test Extensions
The current tests cover basic functionality. In the future, it would be useful to add:
1. More unit tests for all components and services
2. More comprehensive E2E tests covering all user scenarios
3. Performance tests for operations on large data sets
