Backend Testing

This section covers the testing infrastructure and practices for the Quillium backend.

Testing Philosophy

The Quillium backend follows a comprehensive testing approach that includes:

  • Unit Tests: Testing individual functions and components in isolation
  • Integration Tests: Testing how components work together with real dependencies
  • API Tests: Testing the API endpoints from an external perspective

Test Categories

  • Integration Tests: How to set up and run integration tests
  • Unit Tests: Guidelines for writing effective unit tests (coming soon)
  • API Tests: How to test the API endpoints (coming soon)

Test Coverage

The goal is to maintain high test coverage across the codebase, focusing on critical paths and business logic. The current test suite covers:

  • Authentication and authorization
  • Chat functionality
  • User settings management
  • Admin settings management
  • CORS middleware

Running Tests

For quick development cycles, you can run unit tests without any additional setup:

go test ./...

For more comprehensive testing including integration tests, see the Integration Tests documentation.
