🧪 Testing

Test Framework

Using Node.js built-in test framework, following these standards:

• Unit Tests: Test individual components and functions

• Integration Tests: Test interactions between tools

• End-to-End Tests: Test complete workflows

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific test file
node --test tests/unit/services/DocumentIndexer.test.js
