Test Infrastructure

This directory contains the comprehensive test suite for the GNN Processing Pipeline. The test infrastructure has been completely refactored to follow a modular, organized structure that provides comprehensive coverage for all modules.

Quick Start

Run Fast Tests (Default - Pipeline Mode)

python src/2_tests.py --fast-only --verbose

Run Comprehensive Test Suite

python src/2_tests.py --comprehensive --verbose

Run Specific Test Category

pytest src/tests/test_gnn_overall.py -v
pytest src/tests/test_render_overall.py -v
pytest -m fast  # Run only fast tests
pytest -m integration  # Run only integration tests

Test Statistics

• Total Test Files: 91
• Total Test Functions: 734+
• Test Categories: 24
• Test Markers: 25+
• Fast Test Duration: 1-3 minutes
• Comprehensive Test Duration: 5-15 minutes

Architecture

The test infrastructure follows the thin orchestrator pattern, where 2_tests.py acts as a thin wrapper that delegates all core functionality to the tests/ module.

Component Overview

2_tests.py (Thin Orchestrator):

• Handles command-line argument parsing
• Sets up logging and visual output
• Manages output directory creation
• Delegates to tests.run_tests() from tests/__init__.py
• Returns standardized exit codes (0=success, 1=failure)

runner.py (Core Implementation):

• Contains all test execution logic
• Provides multiple execution modes: fast, comprehensive, reliable
• Implements ModularTestRunner for category-based execution
• Handles resource monitoring, timeouts, and error recovery
• Generates comprehensive test reports

test_utils.py (Shared Utilities):

• Provides test fixtures and helper functions
• Defines test categories, markers, and configuration
• Provides test data creation utilities
• Used by both test files and the runner

conftest.py (Pytest Configuration):

• Defines pytest fixtures available to all tests
• Configures pytest markers
• Handles test environment setup/teardown
• Provides shared test utilities

Running Tests

Fast Tests (Default - Pipeline Mode)

# Run fast tests only (default for pipeline)
python src/2_tests.py --fast-only --verbose

# Or simply (fast-only is default)
python src/2_tests.py --verbose

Comprehensive Tests

Environment Variables

The test runner supports several environment variables for configuration:

SKIP_TESTS_IN_PIPELINE

Skip all tests during pipeline execution (for faster pipeline runs).

export SKIP_TESTS_IN_PIPELINE=1
python src/main.py  # Tests will be skipped

FAST_TESTS_TIMEOUT

Override the default timeout for fast tests (default: 600 seconds = 10 minutes).

export FAST_TESTS_TIMEOUT=300  # 5 minutes
python src/2_tests.py --fast-only

Usage Examples

# Skip tests in pipeline for faster execution
SKIP_TESTS_IN_PIPELINE=1 python src/main.py

# Run fast tests with custom timeout
FAST_TESTS_TIMEOUT=180 python src/2_tests.py --fast-only

# Run comprehensive tests with verbose output

Test Organization Patterns

Naming Conventions

Test files follow a consistent naming pattern:

• test_MODULENAME_overall.py - Comprehensive module tests (required for each module)
• test_MODULENAME_area.py - Specific area tests (e.g., test_gnn_parsing.py, test_gnn_validation.py)
• test_MODULENAME_integration.py - Integration tests for the module
• test_MODULENAME_performance.py - Performance tests for the module

Test Markers

Use pytest markers to categorize tests:

@pytest.mark.fast  # Quick tests (< 1 second)
def test_quick_functionality():
    pass

@pytest.mark.slow  # Slow tests (> 10 seconds)
def test_complex_scenario():
    pass

@pytest.mark.integration  # Integration tests
def test_module_integration():
    pass

@pytest.mark.safe_to_fail  # Tests that can fail without breaking pipeline
def test_optional_feature():
    pass

Adding New Test Categories

To add a new test category to MODULAR_TEST_CATEGORIES in runner.py:

MODULAR_TEST_CATEGORIES["new_module"] = {
    "name": "New Module Tests",
    "description": "Tests for the new module functionality",
    "files": [
        "test_new_module_overall.py",
        "test_new_module_integration.py"
    ],
    "markers": ["new_module"],  # Optional pytest markers to filter
    "timeout_seconds": 120,      # Maximum execution time
    "max_failures": 8,           # Stop after N failures
    "parallel": True              # Allow parallel execution
}

Creating New Test Files

Example test file structure:

# src/tests/test_new_module_overall.py
"""Comprehensive tests for the new module."""

import pytest
from pathlib import Path
from utils.test_utils import create_sample_gnn_content, assert_file_exists

@pytest.mark.fast
def test_new_module_basic():
    """Test basic functionality."""
    # Test implementation using real methods
    result = process_module(data)
    assert result is not None

@pytest.mark.slow
def test_new_module_complex():
    """Test complex scenarios."""
    # Test implementation
    pass

@pytest.mark.integration
def test_new_module_integration():
    """Test integration with other modules."""
    # Test implementation
    pass

Best Practices

Test Organization

1. Module-Based Structure: Each module has its own test files
2. Comprehensive Coverage: Each module has an _overall.py test file
3. Specialized Testing: Additional test files for specific areas
4. Integration Testing: Cross-module integration tests

Test Writing

1. No Mocks: Do not use mocking frameworks or monkeypatches to simulate behavior. Execute real methods and code paths.
2. Import Error Handling: Wrap imports in try/except blocks; skip if optional deps missing.
3. Comprehensive Assertions: Test both success and failure cases against real artifacts.
4. Performance Monitoring: Use performance tracking for slow operations

Test Execution

1. Category-Based: Run tests by module category
2. Parallel Execution: Use parallel execution for faster results
3. Resource Monitoring: Monitor resource usage during execution
4. Error Recovery: Handle errors gracefully with recovery mechanisms

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: Tests Timeout

Symptoms: Tests fail with timeout errors Solutions:

• Increase timeout: export FAST_TESTS_TIMEOUT=900 (15 minutes)
• Run fast tests only: python src/2_tests.py --fast-only
• Skip tests in pipeline: export SKIP_TESTS_IN_PIPELINE=1

Issue: Collection Errors

Symptoms: ERROR collecting messages, import errors Solutions:

• Check for missing dependencies: uv sync (or uv sync --extra dev for dev tools)
• Verify Python path includes src/ directory
• Check for syntax errors in test files
• Review error messages for specific import failures

Issue: Tests Fail to Run

Symptoms: No tests collected, exit code 5 Solutions:

• Verify test files follow naming convention: test_*.py
• Check that test functions are named with test_ prefix
• Ensure test files are in src/tests/ directory
• Check pytest is installed: uv pip install pytest (included in uv sync)

Issue: Memory Errors

Symptoms: Out of memory errors during test execution Solutions:

• Run tests sequentially instead of parallel
• Reduce number of tests: use --fast-only flag
• Increase system memory or use swap space
• Check for memory leaks in test code

Issue: Slow Test Execution

Symptoms: Tests take too long to complete Solutions:

• Use --fast-only flag to skip slow tests
• Mark slow tests with @pytest.mark.slow and exclude: pytest -m "not slow"
• Run specific test categories instead of all tests
• Use parallel execution (if not already enabled)

Issue: Import Errors in Tests

Symptoms: ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError in test files Solutions:

• Ensure src/ is in Python path
• Check that modules are properly installed
• Verify relative imports are correct
• Use sys.path.insert(0, str(SRC_DIR)) if needed

Getting Help

If issues persist:

1. Check test output files in output/2_tests_output/
2. Review pytest_comprehensive_output.txt for detailed error messages
3. Check test_execution_report.json for execution summary
4. Verify environment variables are set correctly
5. Ensure all dependencies are installed
