# Test Infrastructure Improvements Plan
## π― Objective
Enhance the test infrastructure to eliminate brittleness, improve maintainability, and ensure robust validation of security and performance characteristics.
## π Current Issues Analysis
### Critical Issues Identified
#### 1. Model Count Discrepancies (`tests/server.test.js:401-402`)
```javascript
// Current: Hardcoded expectations
expect(info.openai.models).toHaveLength(21); // β Brittle
expect(info.gemini.models).toHaveLength(9); // β Brittle
```
**Problem**: Tests break when model lists are updated
**Impact**: Maintenance burden, CI failures, developer frustration
#### 2. Missing Dynamic Test Utilities
- No utilities for model-related assertions
- Hardcoded values throughout test suite
- No validation for test data consistency
- Limited test data generation capabilities
#### 3. Insufficient Pattern Testing
- Individual patterns not comprehensively tested
- No performance regression testing
- Missing edge case coverage
- No security effectiveness validation

## π Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Dynamic Model Testing (Week 1)
#### Task 1.1: Create Model Test Utilities
```javascript
// tests/utils/model-test-utils.js
import { MODELS } from '../../src/constants.js';
export class ModelTestUtils {
static getExpectedCounts() {
return {
openai: MODELS.OPENAI.length,
gemini: MODELS.GEMINI.length
};
}
static validateModelList(models, provider) {
const expected = MODELS[provider.toUpperCase()];
expect(models).toHaveLength(expected.length);
expect(models).toEqual(expect.arrayContaining(expected));
// Validate no duplicates
const unique = [...new Set(models)];
expect(unique).toHaveLength(models.length);
}
static generateModelTestCases(provider) {
return MODELS[provider.toUpperCase()].map(model => ({
model,
provider,
isValid: true
}));
}
}
```
#### Task 1.2: Update Server Tests
```javascript
// tests/server.test.js - Updated version
import { ModelTestUtils } from './utils/model-test-utils.js';
test('should handle server_info request', async () => {
const handler = server.server.handlers.get('CallToolRequestSchema');
const result = await handler({
params: { name: 'server_info', arguments: {} }
});
expect(result.content[0].text).toContain('AI BRIDGE SERVER INFO');
const info = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text.split('\n\n')[1]);
expect(info.openai.configured).toBe(true);
expect(info.gemini.configured).toBe(true);
// Dynamic model count validation
ModelTestUtils.validateModelList(info.openai.models, 'openai');
ModelTestUtils.validateModelList(info.gemini.models, 'gemini');
});
```
#### Task 1.3: Add Model Consistency Validation
```javascript
// tests/contracts/model-contracts.test.js
describe('Model Contract Tests', () => {
test('constants should match available models', () => {
const openaiModels = ModelTestUtils.getExpectedCounts().openai;
const geminiModels = ModelTestUtils.getExpectedCounts().gemini;
expect(openaiModels).toBeGreaterThan(0);
expect(geminiModels).toBeGreaterThan(0);
// Ensure all models have valid format
MODELS.OPENAI.forEach(model => {
expect(model).toMatch(/^[a-z0-9\-\.]+$/);
});
MODELS.GEMINI.forEach(model => {
expect(model).toMatch(/^[a-z0-9\-\.]+$/);
});
});
test('model defaults should exist in model lists', () => {
expect(MODELS.OPENAI).toContain(DEFAULTS.OPENAI.MODEL);
