## Integration Tests
### Location and Structure
**File:** `test/integration-test.js`
**Purpose:** End-to-end testing of the MCP server with WASM acceleration
### Test Categories
#### 1. WASM Initialization Test
```javascript
async function testWasmInitialization() {
console.log("--- WASM Initialization ---");
try {
const { wasmInitialized } = await import('../dist/wasm-wrapper.js');
if (wasmInitialized) {
console.log("✓ WASM should be initialized");
testsPassed++;
} else {
throw new Error("WASM not initialized");
}
} catch (error) {
console.log("✗ WASM initialization failed:", error.message);
testsFailed++;
}
}
```
**What it tests:**
- WASM modules load correctly
- Bindings are accessible
- No initialization errors
#### 2. Matrix Operations Tests
**Small Matrix (mathjs fallback):**
```javascript
async function testSmallMatrixMultiply() {
const a = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];
const b = [[5, 6], [7, 8]];
const result = await matrixMultiply(a, b);
// Expected: [[19, 22], [43, 50]]
// Should use mathjs (below 10x10 threshold)
}
```
**Large Matrix (WASM acceleration):**
```javascript
async function testLargeMatrixMultiply() {
const size = 20;
const a = createRandomMatrix(size, size);
const b = createRandomMatrix(size, size);
const result = await matrixMultiply(a, b);
// Expected: Uses WASM (≥10x10 threshold)
// Verifies correct dimensions and values
}
```
**Determinant Tests:**
```javascript
// Small determinant (3x3) - mathjs
// Large determinant (10x10) - WASM
```
#### 3. Statistical Operations Tests
**Small Dataset (mathjs fallback):**
```javascript
async function testSmallMean() {
const data = Array.from({ length: 50 }, (_, i) => i + 1);
const result = await statsMean(data);
// Expected: Uses mathjs (< 100 elements)
// Result: 25.5
}
```
**Large Dataset (WASM acceleration):**
```javascript
async function testLargeMean() {
const data = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => i + 1);
const result = await statsMean(data);
// Expected: Uses WASM (≥ 100 elements)
// Result: 500.5
}
```
**All Statistical Operations:**
- mean (100+ elements → WASM)
- median (50+ elements → WASM)
- min (100+ elements → WASM)
- max (100+ elements → WASM)
- variance (100+ elements → WASM)
- std (100+ elements → WASM)
#### 4. Performance Monitoring Test
```javascript
async function testPerformanceMonitoring() {
const stats = getPerfStats();
// Verify:
// - wasmCalls > 0
// - mathjsCalls > 0
// - wasmPercentage ≈ 70%
// - totalCalls = wasmCalls + mathjsCalls
console.log(`WASM calls: ${stats.wasmCalls}`);
console.log(`mathjs calls: ${stats.mathjsCalls}`);
console.log(`WASM percentage: ${stats.wasmPercentage}`);
}
```

## Manual Testing
### Testing MCP Server Directly
```bash
# Start the server
node dist/index-wasm.js
# In another terminal, send test request
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | node dist/index-wasm.js
```
**Expected response:**
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"tools": [
{
"name": "evaluate",
"description": "..."
},
// ... 6 more tools
]
}
}
```
### Testing Individual Tools
```bash
# Test evaluate tool
echo '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "evaluate",
"arguments": {
"expression": "2 + 2"
}
}
}' | node dist/index-wasm.js
```
### Testing with Claude Desktop
1. Configure Claude Desktop (see DEPLOYMENT_PLAN.md)
2. Restart Claude Desktop
3. Test with prompts:
- "Calculate 2 + 2"
- "Find the determinant of [[1,2],[3,4]]"
- "Calculate the mean of [1,2,3,4,5]"
### Testing with Claude CLI
```bash
# Verify server is connected
claude mcp list
# Should show:
# math-mcp: node c:/mcp-servers/math-mcp/dist/index-wasm.js - ✓ Connected
```

## Writing New Tests
### Adding Integration Tests
**Location:** `test/integration-test.js`
```javascript
async function testNewFeature() {
console.log("--- New Feature Test ---");
try {
// 1. Setup test data
const input = prepareTestData();
// 2. Execute operation
const result = await newOperation(input);
// 3. Verify result
assertEqual(result, expectedValue, "New feature result");
// 4. Log success
console.log("✓ New feature works correctly");
testsPassed++;
} catch (error) {
console.log("✗ New feature failed:", error.message);
testsFailed++;
}
}
// Add to test suite
async function runAllTests() {
// ... existing tests
await testNewFeature();
// ...
}
```
### Adding WASM Differential Tests
**Location:** `wasm/tests/differential-<category>.cjs`
```javascript
// Compare WASM vs mathjs results
function testNewWasmOperation() {
const input = createTestInput();
const wasmResult = wasmNewOperation(input);
const mathjsResult = mathjsNewOperation(input);
const diff = Math.abs(wasmResult - mathjsResult);
const tolerance = 1e-10;
if (diff < tolerance) {
console.log(`✓ PASS (diff: ${diff.toExponential()})`);
return true;
} else {
console.log(`✗ FAIL (diff: ${diff.toExponential()})`);
return false;
}
}
```
### Adding Performance Benchmarks
**Location:** `wasm/benchmarks/profile-<category>.js`
```javascript
function benchmarkNewOperation() {
const input = createBenchmarkInput();
const iterations = 1000;
// Warm up
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
wasmOperation(input);
mathjsOperation(input);
}
// Benchmark WASM
const wasmStart = performance.now();
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
wasmOperation(input);
}
const wasmTime = performance.now() - wasmStart;
// Benchmark mathjs
const mathjsStart = performance.now();
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
mathjsOperation(input);
}
const mathjsTime = performance.now() - mathjsStart;
const speedup = mathjsTime / wasmTime;
console.log(`New operation: ${speedup.toFixed(2)}x faster with WASM`);
}
```

## Continuous Integration
### Pre-commit Checks
```bash
# Run before committing
npm run build && node test/integration-test.js
```
### CI/CD Pipeline (Recommended)
```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml (example)
name: Test
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '18'
- run: npm install
- run: npm run build
- run: node test/integration-test.js
- run: cd wasm && node tests/differential-matrix.cjs
- run: cd wasm && node tests/differential-statistics.cjs
```
---
## Troubleshooting Tests
### Test Failures
**Integration tests fail:**
```bash
# 1. Rebuild the project
npm run build
# 2. Check Node.js version
node --version # Should be 18+
# 3. Verify WASM build
ls -la wasm/build/
# Should see release.wasm and debug.wasm
# 4. Check for errors in build output
npm run build 2>&1 | grep error
```
**WASM initialization fails:**
```bash
# Rebuild WASM modules
cd wasm
npm install
npx gulp
# Verify bindings exist
ls -la bindings/
# Should see matrix.cjs and statistics.cjs
```
**Differential tests show mismatches:**
```bash
# This indicates a bug in WASM implementation
# Check AssemblyScript source in wasm/assembly/
# Compare against mathjs implementation
# Verify floating-point precision handling
```
### Common Issues
**Issue:** Tests hang or timeout
**Solution:** Check for infinite loops in WASM code, verify async operations complete
**Issue:** WASM not loading
**Solution:** Rebuild WASM: `cd wasm && npx gulp`
**Issue:** Performance below expectations
**Solution:** Check thresholds in src/wasm-wrapper.ts, verify WASM is being used

## Test Coverage Goals
### Current Coverage
- ✅ Integration tests: 11/11 (100%)
- ✅ WASM differential: Matrix operations (multiply, det, transpose)
- ✅ WASM differential: Statistics (mean, median, variance, std, min, max, sum)
- ✅ Performance benchmarks: All WASM operations
- ✅ Threshold routing: Verified via integration tests
- ✅ Fallback mechanism: Tested in integration tests
### Future Coverage Goals
- [ ] Edge case testing (empty arrays, singular matrices)
- [ ] Stress testing (very large matrices/datasets)
- [ ] Memory leak testing (long-running operations)
- [ ] Concurrent operation testing
- [ ] Error handling coverage
