# Comprehensive Testing Strategy
## Task Overview
**Assigned to**: Claude Desktop
**Priority**: Medium
**Timeline**: Strategic planning phase
**Dependencies**: Resource constraints and scaling analysis
## Objective
Define a comprehensive testing strategy for the EuConquisto Composer MCP server that ensures reliability, performance, and maintainability across different deployment scenarios and user volumes.
## Background Context
Current testing status reveals significant gaps:
- Jest configuration missing despite dependency
- Test files are mostly stubs or incomplete
- No end-to-end testing for browser automation
- No integration tests with real MCP clients
- Critical functionality (4/7 tools) currently failing
- No performance or load testing framework
## Testing Strategy Areas
### 1. Unit Testing Framework
**Current Gap**: Basic Jest setup needed
- Complete Jest configuration for TypeScript
- Test coverage requirements and targets
- Mocking strategies for external dependencies
- Automated test execution in CI/CD pipeline
### 2. Integration Testing
**Current Gap**: No MCP client integration tests
- Claude Desktop integration testing
- MCP protocol compliance validation
- Real JWT token integration testing
- EuConquisto Composer API interaction tests
### 3. End-to-End Testing
**Current Gap**: Critical for browser automation validation
- Playwright automation testing framework
- Real browser environment testing
- DOM selector validation and maintenance
- Complete composition workflow testing
### 4. Performance Testing
**Current Gap**: No performance validation framework
- Load testing for multiple concurrent users
- Browser resource usage monitoring
- Memory leak detection and prevention
- Response time validation under stress
### 5. Security Testing
**Current Gap**: Authentication and authorization testing
- JWT token validation testing
- Input sanitization and validation tests
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention tests
- Security vulnerability scanning
## Specific Testing Requirements
### 1. MCP Protocol Compliance Testing
```typescript
// Example test areas needed
describe('MCP Protocol Compliance', () => {
test('Initialize handshake implementation')
test('Tool discovery and registration')
test('JSON-RPC 2.0 message handling')
test('Error response formatting')
test('Capability declaration')
})
```
### 2. Browser Automation Testing
```typescript
// Critical for current blocking issues
describe('Browser Automation', () => {
test('DOM selector reliability across UI updates')
test('Error handling for missing elements')
test('Timeout and retry mechanisms')
test('Browser resource cleanup')
test('Authentication flow validation')
})
```
### 3. Tool Functionality Testing
```typescript
// Validate all 7 MCP tools
describe('MCP Tools', () => {
test('test-connection - server connectivity')
test('get-widget-info - widget analysis')
test('get-composer-url - URL generation')
test('create-new-composition - DOM automation')
test('edit-composition-metadata - form handling')
test('save-composition - persistence')
test('complete-composition-workflow - end-to-end')
})
```
## Testing Infrastructure Decisions
### 1. Test Environment Setup
- **Development**: Local testing with mock services
- **Staging**: Full integration with real EuConquisto environment
- **CI/CD**: Automated testing pipeline with parallel execution
- **Performance**: Dedicated load testing environment
### 2. Browser Testing Strategy
- **Headless vs GUI**: When to use each mode
- **Browser Versions**: Chromium version compatibility
- **Parallel Execution**: Multiple browser instances for speed
- **Screenshot/Video**: Debugging and failure analysis
### 3. Data Management
- **Test Data**: Composition templates and test content
- **Environment Variables**: JWT tokens and configuration
- **State Management**: Test isolation and cleanup
- **Mocking Strategy**: External service dependencies
## Testing Phases and Priorities
### Phase 1: Critical Path Testing (Week 1-2)
**Priority**: Fix current blocking issues
- DOM selector validation tests
- Basic MCP tool functionality tests
- Authentication flow verification
- Browser automation reliability tests
### Phase 2: Integration Testing (Week 3-4)
**Priority**: Validate end-to-end workflows
- Claude Desktop integration tests
- Complete composition lifecycle tests
- Error handling and recovery tests
- Performance baseline establishment
### Phase 3: Comprehensive Testing (Week 5-8)
**Priority**: Production readiness validation
- Load and stress testing
- Security vulnerability testing
- Cross-browser compatibility (if needed)
- Monitoring and alerting validation
## Key Questions to Address
### 1. Testing Environment Requirements
- How to set up reliable test environments?
- Test data management and refresh strategies
- Service dependency mocking vs real integration
- CI/CD pipeline integration requirements
### 2. Browser Automation Testing
- How to test DOM selector reliability?
- UI change detection and test maintenance
- Visual regression testing needs
- Cross-environment consistency (local vs CI)
### 3. Performance Testing
- Load testing tools and frameworks
- Performance benchmarks and targets
- Resource usage monitoring during tests
- Scalability testing approaches
### 4. Security Testing
- Authentication and authorization test scenarios
- Input validation and sanitization testing
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention validation
- Security scanning tool integration
## Deliverables Expected
### 1. Testing Framework Setup
- Complete Jest configuration with TypeScript
- Test environment configuration and setup
- CI/CD pipeline integration plan
- Test data management strategy
### 2. Test Implementation Plan
- Unit test coverage requirements (target: 80%+)
- Integration test scenarios and priorities
- End-to-end test automation framework
- Performance testing methodology
### 3. Testing Operations Plan
- Test environment provisioning and maintenance
- Test execution scheduling and automation
- Failure analysis and debugging procedures
- Test result reporting and monitoring
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Testing framework completely configured
- [ ] Critical path tests implemented and passing
- [ ] Integration testing strategy validated
- [ ] Performance testing baseline established
- [ ] Security testing procedures defined
- [ ] CI/CD pipeline integration completed
## Risk Mitigation
- **Browser Automation Brittleness**: Robust selector strategies and fallbacks
- **Environment Dependencies**: Comprehensive mocking and staging environments
- **Test Maintenance Overhead**: Automated test generation and maintenance tools
- **Performance Test Reliability**: Consistent testing environments and benchmarks
## Follow-up Actions
Results will inform:
- Development timeline and resource allocation
- Quality assurance processes and standards
- Production deployment readiness criteria
- Ongoing maintenance and monitoring requirements
