# Test Strategy - Log Data Collector ## Overview This document defines the comprehensive testing strategy for the Log Data Collector system, ensuring full validation of functional, non-functional, architectural, and normative requirements. ## Test Framework Stack ### Core Testing Tools - **JUnit 5** (Jupiter) - Unit and integration testing framework (Req-NFR-9) - **Mockito 5.x** - Mocking framework for dependencies (Req-NFR-9) - **Maven Surefire** - Unit test execution (Req-NFR-10) - **Maven Failsafe** - Integration test execution (Req-NFR-10) ### Mock Servers - **WireMock** - Mock HTTP server for endpoint simulation (Req-NFR-7) - **gRPC Testing** - In-process gRPC server for transmission testing (Req-NFR-8) ### Additional Tools - **AssertJ** - Fluent assertions for better readability - **Awaitility** - Asynchronous test support - **JMH** - Java Microbenchmark Harness for performance testing ## Test Pyramid Structure ``` /\ /E2E\ 5% - End-to-End (Full system) /------\ /Integr. \ 20% - Integration (Component interaction) /----------\ / Unit \ 75% - Unit (Individual components) /--------------\ ``` ## Test Categories ### 1.

Compliance Tests **Scope**: Normative requirement validation **Test Classes**: - `ComplianceErrorDetectionTest` - Error detection mechanisms (Req-Norm-3) - `ComplianceIso9001Test` - ISO-9001 quality measures (Req-Norm-1) - `ComplianceEn50716Test` - EN 50716 software measures (Req-Norm-2) - `ComplianceAuditLoggingTest` - Audit trail verification **Execution**: Automated compliance report generation ## Test Data Management ### Test Configuration Files - `src/test/resources/test-config.yaml` - Valid test configuration - `src/test/resources/test-config-invalid.yaml` - Invalid format testing - `src/test/resources/test-config-minimal.yaml` - Minimal valid config - `src/test/resources/test-config-maximal.yaml` - Maximum complexity config ### Test Data Generators - `TestDataFactory` - Create test log entries - `TestConfigurationBuilder` - Fluent configuration creation - `TestEndpointBuilder` - HTTP/gRPC endpoint creation ### Mock Server Definitions - `HttpMockServerSetup` - WireMock server configuration - `GrpcMockServerSetup` - gRPC test server configuration ## Test Execution Strategy ### Local Development ```bash # Run all unit tests mvn test # Run integration tests mvn verify -P integration-tests # Run performance tests mvn verify -P performance-tests # Run all tests with coverage mvn verify -P all-tests jacoco:report ``` ### CI/CD Pipeline 1. **Commit Stage**: Unit tests (fast feedback) 2. **Integration Stage**: Integration tests + unit tests 3. **Performance Stage**: Performance tests (nightly) 4. **Compliance Stage**: Compliance validation + audit report ### Test Execution Order 1. Unit tests (parallel execution) 2. Integration tests (sequential by category) 3. E2E tests (sequential) 4. Performance tests (isolated environment) ## Assertion Strategy ### Unit Tests ```java // Use AssertJ for fluent assertions assertThat(config.getEndpoints()) .isNotEmpty() .hasSize(3) .allMatch(e -> e.getUrl() != null); // Verify mock interactions verify(grpcClient, times(1)).sendLogData(any()); verifyNoMoreInteractions(grpcClient); ``` ### Integration Tests ```java // Await asynchronous results await().atMost(5, SECONDS) .untilAsserted(() -> assertThat(buffer.size()).isGreaterThan(0)); // Verify WireMock interactions wireMock.verify(exactly(1), getRequestedFor(urlEqualTo("/health"))); ``` ### Performance Tests ```java // JMH benchmark assertions assertThat(result.getScore()) .isLessThan(1000); // ops/ms threshold // Memory assertions assertThat(memoryUsed) .isLessThan(4096 * 1024 * 1024L); // 4096 MB ``` ## Coverage Requirements ### Minimum Coverage Thresholds - **Line Coverage**: 85% overall, 90% for critical components - **Branch Coverage**: 80% overall, 85% for decision logic - **Method Coverage**: 90% overall ### Excluded from Coverage - Generated code (Protocol Buffers, builders) - Main entry points (`public static void main`) - Exception constructors - Trivial getters/setters ### Coverage Tools - **JaCoCo** - Code coverage measurement - **SonarQube** - Coverage analysis and technical debt tracking ## Test Naming Convention ### Unit Tests ``` should{ExpectedBehavior}_when{Condition}_given{State} Examples: - shouldReturnConfiguration_whenFileExists_givenValidYaml() - shouldThrowException_whenFileNotFound_givenInvalidPath() ``` ### Integration Tests ``` should{IntegrateComponents}_when{Scenario}_given{Setup} Examples: - shouldCollectData_whenHttpEndpointResponds_givenMockServer() - shouldRetryTransmission_whenGrpcFails_givenRetryPolicy() ``` ### Performance Tests ``` should{MeetRequirement}_when{LoadCondition}_given{SystemState} Examples: - shouldHandleConcurrentEndpoints_whenLoading1000Endpoints_givenVirtualThreads() - shouldStayWithinMemoryLimit_whenBufferFull_givenMaxCapacity() ``` ## Mock Strategy ### What to Mock - External HTTP endpoints (WireMock) - gRPC server connections (in-process test server) - File system operations (optional, prefer test files) - Time-dependent operations (Clock abstraction) ### What NOT to Mock - Domain objects (value objects, entities) - In-memory data structures (test real implementation) - Simple utilities (no behavior to mock) - Configuration objects (use test builders) ### Mockito Patterns ```java // Stub return values when(configLoader.load(anyString())) .thenReturn(testConfiguration); // Verify interactions verify(transmitter).send(argThat(data -> data.getTimestamp().isAfter(testStart))); // Spy on real objects ConfigurationLoader spy = spy(realConfigLoader); doReturn(testConfig).when(spy).loadFromFile(any());
