Unit Testing

Structure: Arrange-Act-Assert

describe('calculateDiscount', () => {
  it('applies 10% discount for orders over $100', () => {
    // Arrange
    const order = { items: [{ price: 150 }] };
    const discountService = new DiscountService();

    // Act
    const result = discountService.calculateDiscount(order);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(15);
  });

  it('returns 0 for orders under $100', () => {
    // Arrange
    const order = { items: [{ price: 50 }] };
    const discountService = new DiscountService();

    // Act
    const result = discountService.calculateDiscount(order);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(0);
  });
});

Mocking

// Mock dependencies
const mockEmailService = {
  send: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({ success: true })
};

const mockUserRepo = {
  findById: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({ id: '1', email: 'test@example.com' })
};

describe('NotificationService', () => {
  let service: NotificationService;

  beforeEach(() => {
    jest.clearAllMocks();
    service = new NotificationService(mockEmailService, mockUserRepo);
  });

  it('sends email to user', async () => {
    await service.notifyUser('1', 'Hello!');

    expect(mockUserRepo.findById).toHaveBeenCalledWith('1');
    expect(mockEmailService.send).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
      'test@example.com',
      'Hello!'
    );
  });

  it('throws when user not found', async () => {
    mockUserRepo.findById.mockResolvedValue(null);

    await expect(service.notifyUser('999', 'Hello!'))
      .rejects.toThrow('User not found');
  });
});

Testing Edge Cases

describe('parseAge', () => {
  // Happy path
  it('parses valid age string', () => {
    expect(parseAge('25')).toBe(25);
  });

  // Edge cases
  it('handles zero', () => {
    expect(parseAge('0')).toBe(0);
  });

  it('handles boundary values', () => {
    expect(parseAge('1')).toBe(1);
    expect(parseAge('150')).toBe(150);
  });

  // Error cases
  it('throws on negative numbers', () => {
    expect(() => parseAge('-5')).toThrow('Age cannot be negative');
  });

  it('throws on non-numeric input', () => {
    expect(() => parseAge('abc')).toThrow('Invalid age format');
  });

  it('throws on empty string', () => {
    expect(() => parseAge('')).toThrow('Age is required');
  });

  // Null/undefined
  it('throws on null', () => {
    expect(() => parseAge(null as any)).toThrow();
  });
});

Integration Testing

API Testing

import request from 'supertest';
import { app } from '../app';
import { db } from '../database';

describe('POST /api/users', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await db.users.deleteMany({});
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    await db.disconnect();
  });

  it('creates a new user', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({
        email: 'test@example.com',
        name: 'Test User'
      })
      .expect(201);

    expect(response.body).toMatchObject({
      id: expect.any(String),
      email: 'test@example.com',
      name: 'Test User'
    });

    // Verify in database
    const user = await db.users.findOne({ email: 'test@example.com' });
    expect(user).not.toBeNull();
  });

  it('returns 400 for invalid email', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({
        email: 'invalid-email',
        name: 'Test User'
      })
      .expect(400);

    expect(response.body.error).toBe('Invalid email format');
  });

  it('returns 409 for duplicate email', async () => {
    // Create first user
    await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({ email: 'test@example.com', name: 'First' });

    // Try to create duplicate
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({ email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Second' })
      .expect(409);

    expect(response.body.error).toBe('Email already exists');
  });
});

Database Testing with Testcontainers

import { PostgreSqlContainer } from '@testcontainers/postgresql';
import { Pool } from 'pg';

describe('UserRepository', () => {
  let container: StartedPostgreSqlContainer;
  let pool: Pool;
  let repo: UserRepository;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    container = await new PostgreSqlContainer().start();
    pool = new Pool({ connectionString: container.getConnectionUri() });
    await runMigrations(pool);
    repo = new UserRepository(pool);
  }, 60000);

  afterAll(async () => {
    await pool.end();
    await container.stop();
  });

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await pool.query('TRUNCATE users CASCADE');
  });

  it('creates and retrieves user', async () => {
    const created = await repo.create({
      email: 'test@example.com',
      name: 'Test'
    });

    const found = await repo.findById(created.id);

    expect(found).toEqual(created);
  });
});

E2E Testing

Playwright

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

test.describe('User Authentication', () => {
  test('successful login flow', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');

    // Fill form
    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', 'user@example.com');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', 'password123');

    // Submit
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    // Verify redirect to dashboard
    await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard');
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="welcome-message"]'))
      .toContainText('Welcome, user@example.com');
  });

  test('shows error for invalid credentials', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');

    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', 'wrong@example.com');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', 'wrongpassword');
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="error-message"]'))
      .toBeVisible()
      .toContainText('Invalid credentials');
  });
});

test.describe('Shopping Cart', () => {
  test('add item and checkout', async ({ page }) => {
    // Setup - login
    await page.goto('/login');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', 'buyer@example.com');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', 'password');
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    // Browse products
    await page.goto('/products');
    await page.click('[data-testid="product-1"] [data-testid="add-to-cart"]');

    // Verify cart
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="cart-count"]')).toHaveText('1');

    // Checkout
    await page.click('[data-testid="cart-icon"]');
    await page.click('[data-testid="checkout-button"]');

    // Fill shipping
    await page.fill('[data-testid="address"]', '123 Test St');
    await page.click('[data-testid="place-order"]');

    // Verify success
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/orders\/\d+/);
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="order-status"]'))
      .toContainText('Order Confirmed');
  });
});

Visual Regression Testing

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

test('homepage visual regression', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/');

  // Wait for dynamic content
  await page.waitForSelector('[data-testid="hero-section"]');

  // Take screenshot and compare
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('homepage.png', {
    maxDiffPixels: 100,
    threshold: 0.2
  });
});

test('responsive design', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.setViewportSize({ width: 375, height: 667 }); // iPhone SE
  await page.goto('/');

  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('homepage-mobile.png');
});

Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

// 1. RED - Write failing test first
test('passwordValidator rejects passwords without numbers', () => {
  const result = validatePassword('NoNumbers!');
  expect(result.valid).toBe(false);
  expect(result.errors).toContain('Must contain at least one number');
});

// 2. GREEN - Write minimal code to pass
function validatePassword(password: string): ValidationResult {
  const errors: string[] = [];

  if (!/\d/.test(password)) {
    errors.push('Must contain at least one number');
  }

  return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
}

// 3. REFACTOR - Improve code quality
const VALIDATION_RULES = [
  { pattern: /\d/, message: 'Must contain at least one number' },
  { pattern: /[A-Z]/, message: 'Must contain at least one uppercase letter' },
  { pattern: /[a-z]/, message: 'Must contain at least one lowercase letter' },
  { pattern: /.{8,}/, message: 'Must be at least 8 characters' }
];

function validatePassword(password: string): ValidationResult {
  const errors = VALIDATION_RULES
    .filter(rule => !rule.pattern.test(password))
    .map(rule => rule.message);

  return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
}

Testing Patterns

Test Fixtures

// fixtures/users.ts
export const validUser = {
  email: 'test@example.com',
  name: 'Test User',
  role: 'user'
};

export const adminUser = {
  ...validUser,
  role: 'admin',
  email: 'admin@example.com'
};

// In tests
import { validUser, adminUser } from '../fixtures/users';

describe('UserService', () => {
  it('creates user with valid data', async () => {
    const result = await service.create(validUser);
    expect(result.email).toBe(validUser.email);
  });
});

Factory Functions

// factories/user.factory.ts
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';

export function createUser(overrides: Partial<User> = {}): User {
  return {
    id: faker.string.uuid(),
    email: faker.internet.email(),
    name: faker.person.fullName(),
    createdAt: faker.date.past(),
    ...overrides
  };
}

// In tests
it('handles users with long names', () => {
  const user = createUser({ name: 'A'.repeat(100) });
  const result = formatUserCard(user);
  expect(result.displayName).toHaveLength(50); // Truncated
});

Testing Async Code

// Async/await
it('fetches user data', async () => {
  const user = await userService.getById('123');
  expect(user.name).toBe('John');
});

// Promises
it('fetches user data', () => {
  return userService.getById('123').then(user => {
    expect(user.name).toBe('John');
  });
});

// Testing rejected promises
it('throws on invalid id', async () => {
  await expect(userService.getById('invalid'))
    .rejects.toThrow('User not found');
});

// Waiting for side effects
it('debounces search input', async () => {
  const onSearch = jest.fn();
  render(<SearchBox onSearch={onSearch} debounceMs={300} />);

  await userEvent.type(screen.getByRole('textbox'), 'test');

  // Should not have called yet
  expect(onSearch).not.toHaveBeenCalled();

  // Wait for debounce
  await waitFor(() => {
    expect(onSearch).toHaveBeenCalledWith('test');
  }, { timeout: 500 });
});

Code Coverage

Coverage Metrics

Jest Configuration

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  collectCoverageFrom: [
    'src/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
    '!src/**/*.d.ts',
    '!src/**/*.stories.tsx',
    '!src/test/**'
  ],
  coverageThreshold: {
    global: {
      branches: 80,
      functions: 80,
      lines: 80,
      statements: 80
    }
  }
};

Sharp Edges（常見陷阱）

這些是測試中最常見且代價最高的錯誤

SE-1: 測試實作而非行為

• 嚴重度: high
• 情境: 測試過度耦合內部實作，重構時測試全部壞掉
• 原因: 測試私有方法、mock 太細、驗證內部狀態
• 症狀:

- 改了一行程式碼，10 個測試失敗 - 測試檔案比程式碼還長 - 重構時花更多時間修測試

• 檢測: expect.*\.toHaveBeenCalledTimes\(\d{2,}\)|mock.*private|spy.*internal
• 解法: 測試公開 API/行為、使用 black-box testing、減少 mock 數量

SE-2: 假陽性測試 (False Positive)

• 嚴重度: critical
• 情境: 測試永遠通過，但實際上沒有驗證任何東西
• 原因: 忘記 await、expect 沒有執行、條件判斷錯誤
• 症狀:

- 測試通過但 bug 仍然存在 - 刪掉測試中的關鍵 assertion 測試還是通過 - Coverage 高但信心低

• 檢測: it\(.*\{\s*\}\)|expect\(.*\)(?!\.)|\.resolves(?!\.)|\.rejects(?!\.)
• 解法: TDD（先寫失敗的測試）、review 測試程式碼、使用 ESLint no-floating-promises

SE-3: Flaky Tests（不穩定測試）

• 嚴重度: high
• 情境: 測試有時通過有時失敗，沒有程式碼變更
• 原因: 依賴時間、依賴外部服務、競態條件、共享狀態
• 症狀:

- CI 需要 retry 才能通過 - 本地通過但 CI 失敗 - 團隊開始忽略失敗的測試

• 檢測: new Date\(\)|Date\.now\(\)|setTimeout.*\d{4,}|sleep\(\d+\)
• 解法: 使用 fake timers、隔離測試狀態、避免 hard-coded delays、mock 外部依賴

SE-4: 測試金字塔倒置

• 嚴重度: medium
• 情境: E2E 測試太多，單元測試太少，CI 超慢
• 原因: 「E2E 測試更接近真實」的誤解、不想寫單元測試
• 症狀:

- CI 跑 30+ 分鐘 - 測試失敗難以定位問題 - E2E 測試經常 flaky

• 檢測: describe.*E2E|playwright.*test|cypress.*it (數量遠超 unit test)
• 解法: 遵循 70% unit / 20% integration / 10% E2E 比例、E2E 只測關鍵路徑

SE-5: 過度 Mocking

• 嚴重度: medium
• 情境: Mock 太多導致測試失去意義，只是在測試 mock
• 原因: 為了隔離而 mock 所有依賴、測試執行時間焦慮
• 症狀:

- 測試通過但整合時失敗 - Mock 的行為與真實行為不符 - 更新依賴後 mock 過時

• 檢測: jest\.mock.*jest\.mock.*jest\.mock|mock\(.*\).*mock\(.*\).*mock\(
• 解法: 只 mock 外部依賴（網路、檔案系統）、使用真實的 in-memory 實作、寫更多整合測試

Validations

V-1: 禁止空的測試

• 類型: regex
• 嚴重度: critical
• 模式: (it|test)\s*\([^)]+,\s*(async\s*)?\(\)\s*=>\s*\{\s*\}\s*\)
• 訊息: Empty test detected - test has no assertions
• 修復建議: Add meaningful assertions with expect()
• 適用: *.test.ts, *.test.js, *.spec.ts, *.spec.js

V-2: 測試缺少 assertion

• 類型: regex
• 嚴重度: high
• 模式: (it|test)\s*\([^)]+,\s*(async\s*)?\(\)\s*=>\s*\{[^}]*\}(?![^}]*expect)
• 訊息: Test without expect() assertion may be a false positive
• 修復建議: Add at least one expect() assertion
• 適用: *.test.ts, *.test.js, *.spec.ts, *.spec.js

V-3: 禁止 fit/fdescribe (focused tests)

• 類型: regex
• 嚴重度: critical
• 模式: \b(fit|fdescribe|it\.only|describe\.only|test\.only)\s*\(
• 訊息: Focused test will skip other tests in CI
• 修復建議: Remove f prefix or .only before committing
• 適用: *.test.ts, *.test.js, *.spec.ts, *.spec.js

V-4: 禁止 skip tests 無說明

• 類型: regex
• 嚴重度: medium
• 模式: (xit|xdescribe|it\.skip|describe\.skip|test\.skip)\s*\([^)]+\)
• 訊息: Skipped test without documented reason
• 修復建議: Add comment explaining why test is skipped and tracking issue
• 適用: *.test.ts, *.test.js, *.spec.ts, *.spec.js

V-5: 測試中使用 setTimeout

• 類型: regex
• 嚴重度: high
• 模式: setTimeout\s*\(\s*[^,]+,\s*\d{3,}\s*\)
• 訊息: Hard-coded delays in tests cause flakiness and slow tests
• 修復建議: Use jest.useFakeTimers() or waitFor() from testing-library
• 適用: *.test.ts, *.test.js, *.spec.ts, *.spec.js
