Key Testing Patterns Used

1. Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)

Every test follows this pattern:

@Test
void should_DoSomething_When_Condition() {
    // Arrange - setup
    var input = new Input();

    // Act - execute
    var result = sut.execute(input);

    // Assert - verify
    assertThat(result).isEqualTo(expected);
}

2. Parameterized Tests

For testing multiple similar inputs:

@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = {"", " ", "   "})
void should_RejectBlankStrings(String input) {
    // Test runs 3 times with different inputs
}

3. Mocking Strategy

• Domain Layer: No mocks (pure objects)
• Application Layer: Mock external dependencies (Repository, Services)
• Infrastructure Layer: Minimal mocks

@Mock
private UserRepository userRepository;

@InjectMocks
private CreateUser createUser;  // Dependencies injected automatically

4. AssertJ Fluent Assertions

Clear, readable assertions:

assertThat(user.username()).isEqualTo("john");
assertThat(permissions).contains(Permission.USER_READ);
assertThat(hash.value()).matches("\\$2[aby]\\$12\\$.*");

---

Test Naming Convention

All tests follow: should_ExpectedBehavior_When_StateUnderTest()

Examples:

• should_CreateUser_When_ValidDataProvided()
• should_FailWithInvalidCredentials_When_PasswordIncorrect()
• should_ReturnUnmodifiableSet_When_PermissionsRetrieved()
• should_ThrowException_When_NullPasswordHashProvided()

This makes test intent immediately clear.

Critical Business Logic Tests

Authentication & Authorization

1. Locked user cannot login - Status check happens before password verification
2. Inactive user cannot login - UserInactive error returned
3. Permission aggregation - User gets permissions from ALL assigned roles
4. Role assignment - Users can have multiple roles

Password Security

1. BCrypt strength 12 - Takes ~250ms to hash (resistant to brute force)
2. Password validation - Requires: 8+ chars, upper, lower, digit, special
3. Unique salts - Same password hashes differently each time
4. Constant-time verification - Resistant to timing attacks

Data Consistency

1. Bidirectional mapping - Entity ↔ Domain preserves all data
2. Immutable collections - Returned sets cannot be modified
3. Null safety - Null inputs never cause crashes
4. Id-based equality - Users/Roles equal by ID only

---

How to Add More Tests

Adding a new test to existing class:

@Test
@DisplayName("should_DoX_When_YCondition")
void should_doX_when_yCondition() {
    // Arrange
    var input = setupTestData();

    // Act
    var result = sut.execute(input);

    // Assert
    assertThat(result).satisfies(r -> {
        // verify expectations
    });
}

Adding a new test class:

1. Create file in appropriate test directory
2. Extend with @DisplayName("Description")
3. Use @ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class) if mocking
4. Follow AAA pattern
5. Use JUnit 5 annotations: @Test, @BeforeEach, @ParameterizedTest

---

Common Test Utilities

AssertJ for Assertions

// Strings
assertThat(str).isNotBlank().hasSize(60);

// Collections
assertThat(set).contains(item).hasSize(3);

// Exceptions
assertThatThrownBy(() -> code())
    .isInstanceOf(IllegalArgumentException.class)
    .hasMessage("expected message");

// Numbers
assertThat(value).isBetween(min, max);

Mockito for Mocking

// Stubbing
when(repo.findById(id)).thenReturn(Optional.of(user));

// Verification
verify(repo).save(any());
verify(logger).log(eq(EVENT), anyString(), any());

// Answer
when(repo.save(any())).thenAnswer(invocation ->
    invocation.getArgument(0)
);

Debugging Failed Tests

Show detailed assertion errors:

mvn clean test -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=debug

Run single test with stack trace:

mvn clean test -Dtest=com.effigenix.domain.usermanagement.UserTest#should_CreateUser_When_ValidDataProvided

Check test output:

cat target/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml

---

Test Maintenance Best Practices

1. Keep tests independent - No test should depend on another
2. Use meaningful names - Name should explain what's being tested
3. One assertion per test - Easier to debug failures
4. Mock external dependencies - Keep tests fast
5. Test both paths - Happy path AND error cases
6. Use setUp/BeforeEach - Share common test data
7. Keep tests focused - Test one thing per test class
8. Document complex tests - Add comments for non-obvious logic

---

Continuous Integration

These tests are designed to run in CI/CD pipelines:

# Example CI configuration
test:
  script:
    - mvn clean test
  coverage: '/[0-9]+%/'
  artifacts:
    reports:
      junit: target/surefire-reports/*.xml
