# CI/CD Test Strategy for Homelab MCP Server
## Current Test Status Analysis
### ✅ **CI/CD Ready Tests (248 passing)**
- **Unit Tests**: All core business logic
- **Configuration Tests**: 100% coverage ✅
- **Database Tests**: SQLite operations ✅
- **Error Handling Tests**: 99% coverage ✅
- **SSH Tools Tests**: Basic functionality ✅
- **VM Operations Tests**: Core VM management ✅
- **Migration Tests**: 93% coverage ✅
### ⚠️ **Tests That Need CI/CD Adaptation (13 failing)**
#### **Category 1: Integration Tests (7 failing)**
- **Issue**: Require real network connectivity
- **CI/CD Impact**: Will always fail in isolated CI environments
- **Solution**: Mock network dependencies or mark as integration-only
#### **Category 2: Ansible Service Tests (4 failing)**
- **Issue**: Tests expect real Ansible execution
- **CI/CD Impact**: Need proper mocking or Ansible installation
- **Solution**: Enhanced mocking or containerized testing
#### **Category 3: Migration Hash Tests (2 failing)**
- **Issue**: Hash mocking inconsistencies
- **CI/CD Impact**: Minor, easily fixable
## Recommendations for CI/CD Pipeline
### **Priority 1: Fix Critical CI/CD Blockers** 🚨
#### **1. Fix Remaining Unit Test Issues**
```python
# Fix these 2 migration tests:
- test_migrate_device_history_success (hash mocking)
- test_full_migration_workflow_with_mocks (verification)
```
#### **2. Fix Ansible Service Tests**
```python
# These 4 tests need proper mocking:
- test_ansible_playbook_execution_success
- test_ansible_playbook_execution_failure
- test_ansible_variable_substitution
- test_ansible_template_rendering
```
### **Priority 2: Increase Coverage for Core Modules** 📊
#### **Critical Coverage Gaps** (Target for CI/CD)
| Module | Current | Target | Missing Lines |
|--------|---------|--------|---------------|
| `service_installer.py` | 28% | **60%** | 353 lines |
| `infrastructure_crud.py` | 32% | **50%** | 375 lines |
| `server.py` | 43% | **60%** | 76 lines |
| `database.py` | 50% | **70%** | 116 lines |
### **Priority 3: CI/CD Pipeline Configuration** ⚙️
#### **Test Categories for CI/CD**
1. **Unit Tests** (Fast, always run)
- Core business logic
- Configuration management
- Error handling
- Database operations (SQLite only)
2. **Integration Tests** (Slower, conditional)
- Mock-based integration tests
- Cross-module interaction tests
- Service installer tests (mocked)
3. **End-to-End Tests** (Slowest, optional)
- Full-stack integration (requires infrastructure)
- Real network operations
- Docker/container tests
## CI/CD Implementation Plan
### **Phase 1: Immediate (This Sprint)**
#### **A. Fix Unit Test Failures** ⭐
- Fix 2 migration hash tests
- Fix 4 Ansible service tests
- **Goal**: 100% unit test pass rate
#### **B. Separate Test Categories**
```bash
# Unit tests (fast, always run)
pytest tests/ -m "not integration and not e2e"
# Integration tests (with mocking)
pytest tests/ -m "integration and not e2e"
# End-to-end tests (real infrastructure required)
pytest tests/ -m "e2e"
```
### **Phase 2: Coverage Improvements (Next Sprint)**
#### **A. Service Installer Tests** (28% → 60%)
- Add tests for Docker Compose service installation
- Add tests for script-based installations
- Add tests for Terraform service deployment
- Add error handling tests
#### **B. Infrastructure CRUD Tests** (32% → 50%)
- Add tests for device configuration updates
- Add tests for backup/restore operations
- Add tests for scaling services
- Add validation tests
#### **C. Server Tests** (43% → 60%)
- Add MCP protocol tests
- Add tool execution tests
- Add health endpoint tests
- Add error response tests
### **Phase 3: Enhanced Testing (Future Sprint)**
#### **A. Database Tests** (50% → 70%)
- Add PostgreSQL adapter tests (mocked)
- Add migration tests
- Add performance tests
- Add connection pooling tests
#### **B. End-to-End Testing Infrastructure**
- Docker Compose test environment
- Mock SSH servers for testing
- Containerized integration tests
- Performance benchmarking
## GitHub Actions CI/CD Workflow

python-version: '3.12'
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
pip install uv
uv sync
- name: Run unit tests
run: |
uv run pytest tests/ -m "not integration and not e2e" --cov=src --cov-report=xml
