Failure Analysis

Common failure patterns and solutions:

✘ Create new organisation
  │
  │ Failed asserting that 201 matches expected 200.
  │
  │ Solution: Update expected HTTP status code to match API implementation

✘ Get organisation details
  │
  │ Error: Call to undefined method OrganisationService::getOrganisation()
  │
  │ Solution: Update test to use correct method name from actual service

Test Development

Writing New Tests

Test Structure Template

/**
 * Test X.Y: [Test Description]
 *
 * Scenario: [What situation is being tested]
 * Expected: [What should happen]
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function testScenarioName(): void
{
    // Arrange: Set up test data and mocks
    $user = $this->createMock(IUser::class);
    $user->method('getUID')->willReturn('testuser');
    $this->userSession->method('getUser')->willReturn($user);
    
    // Mock expected behavior
    $this->organisationMapper
        ->expects($this->once())
        ->method('methodName')
        ->with($this->equalTo('expectedParameter'))
        ->willReturn($expectedResult);
    
    // Act: Execute the functionality being tested
    $result = $this->organisationService->methodUnderTest('parameter');
    
    // Assert: Verify the results
    $this->assertInstanceOf(Organisation::class, $result);
    $this->assertEquals('expectedValue', $result->getProperty());
}

Mock Configuration Best Practices

1. User Session Mocking:

$this->mockUser->method('getUID')->willReturn('alice');
$this->userSession->method('getUser')->willReturn($this->mockUser);

2. Session Data Mocking:

$this->session->method('get')
    ->with('openregister_active_organisation_alice')
    ->willReturn('organisation-uuid-123');

3. Database Mocking:

$this->organisationMapper
    ->expects($this->once())
    ->method('findByUuid')
    ->with('organisation-uuid-123')
    ->willReturn($expectedOrganisation);

Performance Testing Guidelines

Memory Usage Testing

public function testMemoryUsageWithLargeDataset(): void
{
    // Arrange: Create large dataset
    $memoryBefore = memory_get_usage();
    
    // Act: Execute memory-intensive operation
    $result = $this->performLargeOperation();
    
    // Assert: Memory usage within acceptable bounds
    $memoryAfter = memory_get_usage();
    $memoryDelta = $memoryAfter - $memoryBefore;
    $this->assertLessThan(1024 * 1024, $memoryDelta); // Less than 1MB
}

Performance Timing

public function testPerformanceWithLargeDataset(): void
{
    // Arrange: Prepare performance test
    $startTime = microtime(true);
    
    // Act: Execute operation
    $result = $this->performOperation();
    
    // Assert: Performance within acceptable bounds
    $endTime = microtime(true);
    $executionTime = $endTime - $startTime;
    $this->assertLessThan(1.0, $executionTime); // Under 1 second
}

Quality Gates

Test Coverage Requirements

• Minimum Coverage: 85% line coverage
• Critical Paths: 100% coverage for security-related code
• Performance Tests: Must complete within time limits
• Edge Cases: All error conditions must be tested

Code Quality Metrics

// PHPUnit configuration (phpunit.xml)
<coverage>
    <include>
        <directory>lib/Service/OrganisationService.php</directory>
        <directory>lib/Db/OrganisationMapper.php</directory>
        <directory>lib/Controller/OrganisationController.php</directory>
    </include>
    <report>
        <html outputDirectory="coverage-html"/>
        <text outputFile="coverage.txt"/>
    </report>
</coverage>

Test Data Management

Mock Data Factories

Organisation Factory

class OrganisationTestFactory
{
    public static function create(array $overrides = []): Organisation
    {
        $organisation = new Organisation();
        $organisation->setName($overrides['name'] ?? 'Test Organisation');
        $organisation->setDescription($overrides['description'] ?? 'Test Description');
        $organisation->setUuid($overrides['uuid'] ?? 'test-uuid-123');
        $organisation->setOwner($overrides['owner'] ?? 'testuser');
        $organisation->setUsers($overrides['users'] ?? ['testuser']);
        $organisation->setIsDefault($overrides['isDefault'] ?? false);
        
        return $organisation;
    }
}

Usage Example

public function testOrganisationCreation(): void
{
    // Arrange
    $testOrg = OrganisationTestFactory::create([
        'name' => 'ACME Corp',
        'owner' => 'alice',
        'users' => ['alice', 'bob']
    ]);
    
    // Test implementation continues...
}

Test Database Seeding

For integration tests that require database state:

protected function seedTestData(): void
{
    // Create default organisation
    $defaultOrg = OrganisationTestFactory::create([
        'name' => 'Default Organisation',
        'isDefault' => true,
        'owner' => 'system'
    ]);
    
    $this->organisationMapper->insert($defaultOrg);
}

Debugging Test Failures

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Mock Expectation Failures

Issue: Expectation failed for method name is "methodName" when invoked 1 time

Solution: Verify method is called with correct parameters

// Debug: Add logging to see actual calls
$this->organisationMapper
    ->expects($this->once())
    ->method('findByUuid')
    ->with($this->callback(function($uuid) {
        // Validation callback for UUID parameter
        return true;
    }))
    ->willReturn($expectedResult);

2. Session Key Mismatches

Issue: Session keys don't match expected format

Solution: Check actual session key naming in service

// Debug: Check actual session keys
$this->session->method('get')
    ->willReturnCallback(function($key) {
        // Track session key requests for debugging
        return null;
    });

3. HTTP Status Code Mismatches

Issue: Expected 200 but got 201/400/403

Solution: Check actual API responses and update expectations

// Debug: Inspect actual response
$response = $this->controller->create($data);
// Use assertions to verify response instead of logging
$this->assertEquals(200, $response->getStatus());
$this->assertArrayHasKey('uuid', $response->getData());

Test Debugging Tools

Logging Configuration

// In test setUp()
if (getenv('DEBUG_TESTS')) {
    $this->logger = new ConsoleLogger();
} else {
    $this->logger = $this->createMock(LoggerInterface::class);
}

Memory Profiling

public function tearDown(): void
{
    if (getenv('PROFILE_MEMORY')) {
        echo "Memory usage: " . memory_get_usage() . " bytes\n";
        echo "Peak memory: " . memory_get_peak_usage() . " bytes\n";
    }
    
    parent::tearDown();
}

Test Maintenance

Keeping Tests Current

1. API Changes: Update tests when API signatures change
2. New Features: Add tests for new functionality
3. Bug Fixes: Add regression tests for fixed bugs
4. Performance Changes: Update performance expectations
5. Dependencies: Update mocks when dependencies change

Test Review Checklist

• All test methods have descriptive names
• Test scenarios match requirements
• Assertions are meaningful and specific
• Mocks are properly configured
• Error cases are tested
• Performance implications considered
• Documentation updated
• Tests pass consistently

Refactoring Guidelines

When refactoring tests:

1. Maintain Test Intent: Keep the same test scenarios
2. Update Implementation: Change only how tests execute
3. Preserve Coverage: Ensure coverage doesn't decrease
4. Document Changes: Note why changes were made
5. Verify Results: Ensure tests still validate intended behavior

Best Practices Summary

Test Design

1. Follow AAA Pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
2. One Concept Per Test: Each test should verify one specific behavior
3. Descriptive Names: Test names should clearly describe the scenario
4. Fast Execution: Tests should run quickly for rapid feedback
5. Independent Tests: Tests should not depend on each other

Mock Usage

1. Mock External Dependencies: Don't test external systems
2. Verify Interactions: Use mocks to verify method calls
3. Control Responses: Use mocks to control return values
4. Isolate System Under Test: Mock everything except what you're testing
5. Reset State: Clear mocks between tests

Test Organization

1. Logical Grouping: Group related tests in the same class
2. Consistent Structure: Follow the same pattern across all tests
3. Clear Documentation: Document test purpose and scenarios
4. Maintainable Code: Write tests that are easy to modify
5. Comprehensive Coverage: Cover both happy path and edge cases

The multi-tenancy testing framework provides comprehensive validation of all system functionality, ensuring reliability, security, and performance at scale.
