# DXP MCP Regression Suite Overview
## 🎉 What We Built
A comprehensive regression testing framework to ensure the DXP MCP remains stable as we add new features.
## 📁 Structure
```

```
## 🚀 Key Features
### 1. Mock PowerShell System
- Simulates PowerShell responses without real API calls
- Tracks command history for assertions
- Configurable error simulation
- Pattern-based response matching
### 2. Test Framework
- Unified test structure across all suites
- Built-in assertions and helpers
- PowerShell mocking integration
- Module cache management
- Multi-project support
### 3. Progressive Testing
- **Quick** (5 min): Critical tools only
- **Full** (15 min): All priority tests
- **Integration** (30 min): Real PowerShell
### 4. CI/CD Integration
- GitHub Actions workflow
- Platform matrix (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Node version matrix (18.x, 20.x, 22.x)
- Automatic test reports
## 📋 Test Coverage
### Priority 1 - Critical Path ✅
- `deploy` - Deployment initiation
- `status` - Environment status
- `export_database` - Database backups
- `check_export_status` - Export monitoring
- `test_connection` - Connection validation
- PowerShell command generation
- Multi-project configuration
### Priority 2 - Core Operations ✅
- `start_deployment` - Full deployment control
- `get_deployment_status` - Status tracking
- `complete_deployment` - Deployment completion
- `reset_deployment` - Rollback operations
- `download_blobs` - Media/asset downloads
- Permission checking
- Error recovery & retry logic
### Priority 3 - Extended (To Be Added)
- NLP command parsing
- Azure DevOps integration
- Log analysis
- Telemetry
- Rate limiting
## 🏃 Usage
### Run Locally
```bash
# Quick regression (5 min)
npm run test:regression:quick
# Full regression (15 min)
npm run test:regression:full
# Platform-specific
npm run test:regression:macos
npm run test:regression:windows
npm run test:regression:linux
# With verbose output
node tests/regression/run-regression.js -v
# Run specific pattern
node tests/regression/run-regression.js --pattern deploy
```
### CI/CD Triggers
- **PR**: Quick regression automatically
- **Push to main**: Full regression
- **Nightly**: Full + Integration
- **Manual**: Choose test mode
## 📊 Reports
Test reports are generated in JSON format:
- Local: `tests/regression/reports/`
- CI: GitHub Actions artifacts
## 🛡️ Protection Mechanisms
1. **Mock First** - Tests use mocks by default, no accidental API calls
2. **Credential Isolation** - Test credentials separate from production
3. **Platform Coverage** - Tests run on all supported platforms
4. **Automatic Regression** - PRs blocked if tests fail
5. **Historical Reports** - 30-day retention for tracking trends
## 🎯 Benefits
1. **Confidence** - Know immediately if changes break existing functionality
2. **Speed** - Quick tests provide fast feedback
3. **Coverage** - Test across platforms and Node versions
4. **Documentation** - Tests serve as living documentation
5. **Quality** - Enforce quality standards automatically
## 🔮 Next Steps
1. Add Priority 3 tests for extended features
2. Integrate with code coverage tools
3. Add performance regression tests
4. Create visual test dashboard
5. Add E2E tests with real test project
