🚀 Testing Plan Strategy

[urbantech]

1. Set Up the Environment

• Clone the Repository: Ensure that you clone the latest version of the repository from GitHub. 📥
• Install Dependencies: Run npm install to install all required dependencies. 🛠️

---

2. Reproduce the Issue

• Identify the Bug: Document the steps to reproduce the bug. Ensure that you can consistently reproduce the issue. 🔍
• Create a Bug Report: Use GitHub Issues to create a bug story with detailed information:
  • Expected Behavior 🟢
  • Actual Behavior 🔴
  • Steps to Reproduce 📝

---

3. Write Failing Test Cases

• Create a New Branch: git checkout -b bug/{id} 🌿
• BDD-Style Unit Tests: Use a BDD-style framework like Mocha or Jasmine to write failing tests that capture the bug.

describe('Feature or Component', () => {
  it('should fail due to the identified bug', () => {
    // Arrange: Setup initial conditions
    // Act: Execute the functionality
    // Assert: Verify the bug condition
    expect(actual).to.not.equal(expected);
  });
});

• Commit the Failing Tests: git commit -m "WIP: Red Tests" 📛

---

4. Isolate the Bug

• Debug the Application: Use debugging tools (like console.log or Node.js debuggers) to trace the source of the bug. 🐞
• Review Related Code: Examine the parts of the codebase that interact with the bug-prone functionality. 🧐

---

5. Fix the Bug

• Implement the Fix: Modify the code to resolve the bug. 🛠️
• Run Tests: Ensure the previously failing tests now pass. ✅
• Commit the Fix: git commit -m "WIP: Green Tests" 🌟

---

6. Refactor the Code

• Code Cleanup: Improve code readability and maintainability without altering functionality. 🧹
• Run All Tests: Ensure all unit, integration, and functional tests pass. 🏃‍♂️
• Commit the Refactor: git commit -m "Refactor complete" 📝

---

7. Integration Testing

• Write Integration Tests: Validate that the components work together correctly. 🔄
• Automate Tests: Include these tests in the CI/CD pipeline. 🤖

---

8. Functional Testing

• API Testing: Validate that the application’s APIs work as expected. 🌐
• Automate Functional Tests: Integrate these tests into the CI/CD pipeline. 🤖

---

9. Create a Pull Request

• PR Creation: Push the branch to GitHub and create a pull request. 🔀
• Code Review: Encourage timely feedback from peers, address any comments or requested changes. 👥
• Merge the PR: Once approved, merge the pull request into the main branch. ✔️
• Mark Story Delivered: In GitHub Issues, mark the bug story as delivered for PM review. 📦

---

10. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

• Ensure CI/CD Pipeline: Verify that the CI/CD pipeline runs all tests before merging. 🔄
• Monitor the Deployment: Confirm that the fix is deployed correctly and the issue is resolved in the production environment. 🌍

---

📏 Coding Standards

• Backlog Management: Use GitHub issues for tracking stories and bug fixes. 📋
• Coding Style Guidelines: Follow naming conventions, code formatting, and commenting practices. ✍️
• Testing Practices: Use BDD-style frameworks for unit tests, and follow the Arrange, Act, and Assert (AAA) pattern. 🧪
• Version Control: Use feature branches, submit small commits, create detailed PRs, and ensure all tests pass before merging. 🌿

---

📝 Documentation and Feedback

• Document the Process: Ensure that you document each step taken, including the debugging and testing process. 🗂️
• Provide Feedback: Regularly review progress, provide constructive feedback, and encourage adherence to coding standards. 💬
