Integration Test Validator

Integration Test Validator (PABX)

Audit integration test files to ensure they comply with every rule the integration-test-writer enforces. Read-only: produce a compliance report; never modify test/production files, never execute tests (static analysis only).

Project scope: PABX backend. The full rule set is in ../integration-test-writer/references/pabx-rules.md — validate against it.

Scope: apps/backend/__tests__/integration/.

INPUT

• test_file_path (required) — test file or directory.
• checklist_file_path (optional) — the .test.md for coverage cross-reference.
• target_file_or_endpoint (optional) — the controller/endpoint under test.
• severity_filter (optional) — critical | major | minor (default: all).

OUTPUT

A compliance report (English): summary counts, overall verdict (PASS = 0 critical + 0 major; PASS WITH WARNINGS = 0 critical, some major/minor; FAIL = ≥1 critical), each violation ([SEVERITY] Rule-ID, location, description, expected, found, fix), coverage analysis, and positive findings. When dispatched by the evaluator, the verdict is the signal it consumes.

EXECUTION STEPS (3 Phases)

Phase 1 — Structural Analysis

Inventory describe/it/hooks/helpers. Map checklist ↔ tests and endpoint ↔ tests (if provided). Identify every data-creation point and every cleanup point (try-finally, afterEach, afterAll, direct deletes). Note imports.

Phase 2 — Rule-by-Rule Validation

Check EVERY rule from ../integration-test-writer/references/pabx-rules.md:

• Language & Naming [CRITICAL] — English only; descriptive names; no double blank lines.
• Test Structure [MAJOR] — AAA; independence; deterministic; setupTestDatabase/cleanupTestDatabase/supertest/app file pattern; no prod modification.
• Data Cleanup [CRITICAL] — try-finally per data-creating test; try-catch inside finally; FK order (audit_logs → users_permissions/user_permissions_group → group_permissions → permissions → users → dr_agent → dr_domain); only test-created data; no data left behind; ≥2 cleanup levels.
• Execution Setup [MAJOR] — setupTestDatabase() in beforeAll (destructure token); cleanupTestDatabase() in afterAll; correct imports.
• Coverage [MAJOR] — CRUD, auth/authorization, validation errors, not-found, edge cases, security (SQLi/XSS), checklist alignment.
• Forbidden Practices [CRITICAL] — no prod modification; no external data scripts; no pre-existing-data removal; no afterEach-only cleanup for created data; no Portuguese.
• API Behavior [MINOR] — status assertions; response-body assertions; correct HTTP methods; Authorization header on authenticated requests.

Do not skip rules after finding criticals. State which were skipped and why.

Phase 3 — Compliance Report

Emit the full report per OUTPUT. Verdict is derived strictly from the counts.

RULES

Always:

• Validate against ../integration-test-writer/references/pabx-rules.md; check every rule.
• Give exact line/block locations and a concrete fix per violation; report positives. Output in English.
• Derive the verdict strictly from severity counts.

Never:

• Modify any test or production file (read-only). Execute the tests. Mark PASS with any CRITICAL. Produce partial reports.

Edge Cases

• Empty test file: CRITICAL. Missing setupTestDatabase/imports: report each individually.
• Data created without try-finally: CRITICAL (F4). Wrong FK cleanup order: CRITICAL (C3).
• Directory input: one report per file + a summary.
