Unit Testing

// user.service.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest'
import { UserService } from './user.service'

describe('UserService', () => {
  it('should create user', async () => {
    const mockRepo = {
      create: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ id: '1', email: 'test@test.com' })
    }
    const service = new UserService(mockRepo)
    
    const user = await service.create({ email: 'test@test.com', name: 'Test' })
    
    expect(user.email).toBe('test@test.com')
    expect(mockRepo.create).toHaveBeenCalled()
  })
})

Integration Testing

// api/users.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll } from 'vitest'
import request from 'supertest'
import { app } from '../src/index'

describe('POST /users', () => {
  it('should create user', async () => {
    const res = await request(app)
      .post('/api/users')
      .send({ email: 'test@test.com', name: 'Test' })
    
    expect(res.status).toBe(201)
    expect(res.body.email).toBe('test@test.com')
  })
})

Checklist

• Set up test framework (Vitest/Jest)
• Write unit tests for services
• Add integration tests for API
• Use test fixtures
• Mock external services
• Aim for 80% coverage on core logic
