# Pyramid Test Strategy Migration Guide

## ✅ **Overview - MIGRATION COMPLETED**

This guide documented the successful migration of kubernaut's test strategy to a **pyramid testing approach** with **Rule 12 compliance**. The migration has been completed with:

- **Unit Tests (70%+)**: ✅ Achieved with real business logic and Rule 12 compliant `llm.Client` patterns
- **Integration Tests (20%)**: ✅ Focused cross-component interactions using `suite.LLMClient`
- **E2E Tests (10%)**: ✅ Minimal critical business workflows maintained

## 📊 **Migration Benefits**

### **Before (Current State)**
- Unit Tests: 35% - Limited algorithmic testing
- Integration Tests: 40% - Heavy cross-component testing
- E2E Tests: 25% - Extensive end-to-end scenarios
- **Issues**: Slow feedback, expensive test maintenance, late issue detection

### **After (Pyramid Approach)**
- Unit Tests: 70% - Comprehensive business logic coverage
- Integration Tests: 20% - Critical interactions only
- E2E Tests: 10% - Essential workflows only
- **Benefits**: Fast feedback, early issue detection, cost-effective maintenance

## 🚀 **Migration Strategy**

### **Phase 1: Expand Unit Test Coverage (Weeks 1-4)**

#### **Step 1.1: Identify Business Logic for Unit Testing**

```bash
# Find all business logic components that need extensive unit testing
find pkg/ -name "*.go" -not -name "*_test.go" | xargs grep -l "func.*New.*" | head -20

# Example output:
# pkg/workflow/engine/intelligent_workflow_builder.go
# pkg/platform/safety_framework.go
# pkg/ai/insights/analytics_engine.go
# pkg/orchestration/adaptive_orchestrator.go
```

#### **Step 1.2: Create Comprehensive Unit Tests**

**Template for Pyramid Unit Tests:**

```go
//go:build unit
// +build unit

package yourpackage

import (
    . "github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2"
    . "github.com/onsi/gomega"

    "github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/testutil/mocks"
    "github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/your/business/package"
)

var _ = Describe("BR-YOUR-COMPONENT-001: Comprehensive Business Logic Testing", func() {
    var (
        // Mock ONLY external dependencies
        mockExternalDB    *mocks.MockDatabase
        mockExternalAPI   *mocks.MockExternalAPI
        mockK8sClient     *mocks.MockKubernetesClient

        // Use REAL business logic components
        businessComponent *yourpackage.YourBusinessComponent
        relatedComponent  *yourpackage.RelatedBusinessComponent
    )

    BeforeEach(func() {
        // Mock external dependencies only
        mockExternalDB = mocks.NewMockDatabase()
        mockExternalAPI = mocks.NewMockExternalAPI()
        mockK8sClient = mocks.NewMockKubernetesClient()

        // Create REAL business components
        relatedComponent = yourpackage.NewRelatedBusinessComponent(realConfig)
        businessComponent = yourpackage.NewYourBusinessComponent(
            mockExternalDB,     // External: Mock
            mockExternalAPI,    // External: Mock
            relatedComponent,   // Business Logic: Real
        )
    })

    // COMPREHENSIVE scenario testing
    DescribeTable("should handle all business scenarios",
        func(scenario string, input InputType, expectedOutput OutputType) {
            // Mock external responses
            mockExternalAPI.EXPECT().Process(gomock.Any()).Return(mockResponse, nil)

            // Test REAL business logic
            result, err := businessComponent.ProcessBusinessLogic(input)
            Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())

            // Validate REAL business outcomes
            Expect(result.BusinessValue).To(Equal(expectedOutput.BusinessValue))
        },
        Entry("High priority scenario", "high_priority", highPriorityInput, expectedHighOutput),
        Entry("Low priority scenario", "low_priority", lowPriorityInput, expectedLowOutput),
        Entry("Edge case scenario", "edge_case", edgeCaseInput, expectedEdgeOutput),
        // Add 10-20 more scenarios for comprehensive coverage
    )

    // COMPREHENSIVE error handling
    Context("Error Handling", func() {
        It("should handle all external dependency failures", func() {
            // Test all external failure scenarios
            mockExternalDB.EXPECT().Query(gomock.Any()).Return(nil, errors.New("DB failure"))

            // Test REAL business logic error handling
            result, err := businessComponent.ProcessWithFallback(input)
            Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred()) // Real business logic should handle gracefully
            Expect(result.Source).To(Equal("fallback"))
        })
    })
})
```

#### **Step 1.3: Migration Checklist for Unit Tests**

- [ ] **Identify all business logic components** in pkg/ directory
- [ ] **Create comprehensive test scenarios** (10-20 scenarios per component)
- [ ] **Mock only external dependencies** (databases, APIs, K8s, LLMs)
- [ ] **Use real business logic** for all internal components
- [ ] **Test all edge cases** and error conditions
- [ ] **Validate business outcomes** not implementation details
- [ ] **Ensure fast execution** (<10ms per test)

### **Phase 2: Refactor Integration Tests (Weeks 5-6)**

#### **Step 2.1: Identify Critical Integration Points**

```bash
# Find integration tests that should be refactored
find test/integration/ -name "*_test.go" | xargs grep -l "Describe\|Context" | head -10

# Focus on tests that validate:
# - Cross-component data flow
# - Component interaction contracts
# - System-level error propagation
```

#### **Step 2.2: Refactor Integration Tests**

**Template for Focused Integration Tests:**

```go
//go:build integration
// +build integration

package integration

import (
    . "github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2"
    . "github.com/onsi/gomega"

    testshared "github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/test/integration/shared"
)

var _ = Describe("BR-INTEGRATION-001: Critical Component Interactions", func() {
    var (
        hooks *testshared.TestLifecycleHooks
        suite *testshared.StandardTestSuite

        // REAL business components for integration
        componentA *ComponentA
        componentB *ComponentB
    )

    BeforeAll(func() {
        // Setup with REAL infrastructure when available
        hooks = testshared.SetupAIIntegrationTest("Component Integration",
            testshared.WithRealVectorDB(),
            testshared.WithDatabaseIsolation(testshared.TransactionIsolation),
        )
        suite = hooks.GetSuite()
    })

    // FOCUSED integration testing - only critical interactions
    Context("Critical Data Flow Validation", func() {
        It("should maintain data consistency across component boundaries", func() {
            // Test ONLY the critical integration that unit tests can't validate
            input := createTestInput()

            // Test real component interaction
            resultA := componentA.ProcessData(input)
            resultB := componentB.ProcessResult(resultA)

            // Validate cross-component data consistency
            Expect(resultB.SourceData.ID).To(Equal(input.ID))
            Expect(resultB.ProcessingChain).To(ContainElement("componentA"))
        })
    })
})
```

#### **Step 2.3: Integration Test Migration Checklist**

- [ ] **Reduce integration test count** by 50-60%
- [ ] **Focus on critical interactions** only
- [ ] **Remove tests covered by unit tests**
- [ ] **Use real business components** wherever possible
- [ ] **Mock infrastructure** only when unavailable
- [ ] **Test data flow** between components
- [ ] **Validate error propagation** across boundaries

### **Phase 3: Minimize E2E Tests (Weeks 7-8)**

#### **Step 3.1: Identify Critical Business Workflows**

```bash
# Identify current E2E tests
find test/e2e/ -name "*_test.go" | xargs grep -l "Describe"

# Keep only tests that validate:
# - Complete customer-facing workflows
# - Critical business scenarios
# - Production-like failure modes
```

#### **Step 3.2: Create Minimal E2E Tests**

**Template for Minimal E2E Tests:**

```go
//go:build e2e
// +build e2e

package e2e

var _ = Describe("BR-E2E-001: Critical Business Workflows", func() {

    // MINIMAL E2E testing - only complete business scenarios
    Context("Customer-Impacting Workflows", func() {
        It("should complete alert-to-resolution for customer service outage", func() {
            // Test COMPLETE business workflow
            alert := createCustomerServiceOutageAlert()

            // Send to production-like system
            response := sendAlertToKubernaut(alert)
            Expect(response.StatusCode).To(Equal(http.StatusOK))

            // Wait for complete workflow
            workflowID := extractWorkflowID(response)
            Eventually(func() string {
                return getWorkflowStatus(workflowID)
            }, 5*time.Minute, 10*time.Second).Should(Equal("resolved"))

            // Validate business outcome
            result := getWorkflowResult(workflowID)
            Expect(result.CustomerServiceRestored).To(BeTrue())
            Expect(result.SLAMaintained).To(BeTrue())
        })
    })
})
```

#### **Step 3.3: E2E Test Migration Checklist**

- [ ] **Reduce E2E test count** by 70-80%
- [ ] **Keep only critical business workflows**
- [ ] **Focus on customer-impacting scenarios**
- [ ] **Test complete end-to-end flows**
- [ ] **Use production-like environment**
- [ ] **Validate business outcomes** not technical details
- [ ] **Ensure tests run in reasonable time** (<15 minutes total)

## 🔍 **Edge Case Decision Matrix - INHERENT INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS**

### **Definitely NOT Unit Testable**
*(Must be Integration/E2E)*

#### **1. Real-Time Multi-System Coordination**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Cross-cluster failover requires real Kubernetes clusters
Context("BR-PLATFORM-045: Cross-Cluster Failover", func() {
    It("should failover workloads between real clusters", func() {
        // CANNOT be unit tested - requires real cluster networking
        // REASON: Network partitions, real latency, actual DNS resolution
        cluster1.SimulateNetworkPartition()
        cluster2.ReceiveFailoverTraffic()
        // This inherently requires real infrastructure
    })
})
```

#### **2. Performance Under Real Load**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Memory pressure behavior requires real resource constraints
Context("BR-RESOURCE-078: Memory Pressure Response", func() {
    It("should gracefully degrade under 90% memory usage", func() {
        // CANNOT be unit tested - requires real memory pressure
        // REASON: OS-level memory management, garbage collection behavior
        simulateMemoryPressure(90) // Real system behavior needed
    })
})
```

#### **3. External Service Contract Validation**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Third-party API compatibility requires real API calls
Context("BR-INTEGRATION-123: Prometheus API Compatibility", func() {
    It("should handle Prometheus v2.40+ query responses", func() {
        // CANNOT be unit tested - requires real API contract verification
        // REASON: External API schema changes, authentication flows
        realPrometheusClient.QueryWithNewFormat() // Real API needed
    })
})
```

### **Borderline Cases - ANALYZE CAREFULLY**

#### **1. Complex Business Logic with Simple External Calls**
```go
// ANALYZE: Can business logic be separated from external call?
func AnalyzeAlertPatterns(alerts []Alert, vectorDB VectorDB) (*Analysis, error) {
    // UNIT TESTABLE: Extract pattern analysis algorithm
    patterns := calculatePatternSimilarity(alerts) // Pure business logic

    // MOCKABLE: External vector search
    similar := vectorDB.SearchSimilar(patterns) // Mock this dependency

    // UNIT TESTABLE: Combine results with business rules
    return applyBusinessRules(patterns, similar), nil // Pure business logic
}
```

#### **2. Stateful Interactions with Timing Dependencies**
```go
// ANALYZE: Can timing be abstracted with clock injection?
type WorkflowScheduler struct {
    clock Clock // Inject for unit testing
}

// UNIT TESTABLE: Mock clock for deterministic timing
func (ws *WorkflowScheduler) ScheduleWorkflow(workflow Workflow) {
    nextRun := ws.clock.Now().Add(workflow.Interval) // Mock clock
    // Business logic becomes deterministic and unit testable
}
```

### **Decision Framework - STEP-BY-STEP**
```
1. Extract Business Logic?
   ├─ YES → Unit test the algorithm, mock externals
   └─ NO → Why not? Document specific coupling

2. Mock External Dependencies?
   ├─ Database/API calls → EASILY MOCKABLE → Unit test
   ├─ File I/O → EASILY MOCKABLE → Unit test
   ├─ Network timing → POSSIBLY MOCKABLE → Analyze further
   └─ Real resource constraints → NOT MOCKABLE → Integration test

3. Real Infrastructure Required?
   ├─ Network partitions → YES → E2E test
   ├─ Memory pressure → YES → Integration test
   ├─ CPU scheduling → YES → Integration test
   └─ Database transactions → NO → Unit test with mock DB

4. Business Value vs. Cost?
   ├─ High business value + Low test cost → Unit test
   ├─ High business value + High test cost → Integration test
   ├─ Low business value + Low test cost → Unit test
   └─ Low business value + High test cost → Skip or simplify
```

## 🚨 **Common Migration Pitfalls**

### **❌ Anti-Patterns to Avoid**

1. **Over-Mocking in Unit Tests**
   ```go
   // ❌ WRONG: Mocking internal business logic
   mockWorkflowEngine := mocks.NewMockWorkflowEngine()
   mockSafetyFramework := mocks.NewMockSafetyFramework()

   // ✅ RIGHT: Mock only external dependencies
   mockDatabase := mocks.NewMockDatabase()
   realWorkflowEngine := engine.NewWorkflowEngine(mockDatabase, realComponents...)
   ```

2. **Duplicating Unit Test Coverage in Integration Tests**
   ```go
   // ❌ WRONG: Testing individual component logic in integration tests
   It("should validate individual component algorithm", func() {
       // This belongs in unit tests
   })

   // ✅ RIGHT: Testing component interactions
   It("should pass data correctly between components", func() {
       // This tests integration, not individual logic
   })
   ```

3. **Too Many E2E Tests**
   ```go
   // ❌ WRONG: Testing every scenario in E2E
   It("should handle memory alert")
   It("should handle CPU alert")
   It("should handle network alert")

   // ✅ RIGHT: Testing critical business workflows only
   It("should complete customer-impacting incident resolution")
   ```

## 📈 **ROI Analysis Framework - DIMINISHING RETURNS DETECTION**

### **ROI Calculation Formula**
```
Test ROI = (Bug Prevention Value + Development Velocity Gain) / Test Maintenance Cost

Where:
- Bug Prevention Value = (Bugs Prevented × Bug Fix Cost × Business Impact)
- Development Velocity Gain = (Faster Feedback × Developer Productivity)
- Test Maintenance Cost = (Test Creation Time + Ongoing Maintenance + CI/CD Time)
```

### **ROI Thresholds with Examples**

#### **High ROI Zone (70-80% coverage) - ALWAYS EXPAND**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Core business algorithm with high business impact
func CalculateWorkflowOptimization(workflow Workflow) OptimizationPlan {
    // HIGH ROI:
    // - Bug Prevention Value: $50,000 (production incidents)
    // - Test Maintenance Cost: 2 hours/month
    // - ROI Ratio: 25:1

    // Unit test covers critical business logic
    optimizationRules := ApplyBusinessRules(workflow.Requirements)
    resourcePlan := CalculateResourceAllocation(optimizationRules)
    return OptimizationPlan{Rules: optimizationRules, Resources: resourcePlan}
}
```

#### **Medium ROI Zone (80-85% coverage) - SELECTIVE EXPANSION**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Error handling edge cases with moderate business impact
func HandleWorkflowExecutionError(err WorkflowError) RecoveryAction {
    // MEDIUM ROI:
    // - Bug Prevention Value: $5,000 (minor production issues)
    // - Test Maintenance Cost: 1 hour/month
    // - ROI Ratio: 5:1

    // Unit test for common error scenarios - worth expanding
    if err.Type == "ResourceExhaustion" {
        return RecoveryAction{Type: "ScaleUp", Priority: "High"}
    }
    // Additional error cases - evaluate based on frequency
}
```

#### **Low ROI Zone (85-90% coverage) - EVALUATE CAREFULLY**
```go
// EXAMPLE: Configuration validation with low business impact
func ValidateAdvancedConfiguration(config AdvancedConfig) ValidationResult {
    // LOW ROI:
    // - Bug Prevention Value: $500 (configuration warnings)
    // - Test Maintenance Cost: 3 hours/month (complex config scenarios)
    // - ROI Ratio: 1:6 (NEGATIVE ROI)

    // Question: Is this worth unit testing every edge case?
    // Alternative: Focus on critical validation paths only
}
```

### **Diminishing Returns Indicators**

#### **STOP Expanding When:**

1. **Test Complexity Exceeds Business Logic Complexity**
   ```go
   // WARNING SIGN: Test setup is more complex than the code being tested
   BeforeEach(func() {
       // 50 lines of test setup for 5 lines of business logic
       setupComplexMockInfrastructure() // RED FLAG
       configureMockDependencies()      // RED FLAG
       initializeTestDataSets()         // RED FLAG
   })

   It("should handle edge case #47", func() {
       result := simpleFunction(input) // 5 lines of actual business logic
       Expect(result).To(Equal(expected))
   })
   ```

2. **Test Maintenance Overhead > Business Value**
   ```go
   // WARNING SIGN: Tests break frequently with low business impact
   Context("Edge Case Configuration Combinations", func() {
       // RED FLAG: 20 tests for unlikely configuration combinations
       // QUESTION: Do these scenarios happen in production?
       // EVALUATION: Skip unless high-frequency production scenarios
   })
   ```

3. **Mocking Infrastructure Becomes Business Logic**
   ```go
   // WARNING SIGN: Mock setup recreates entire business logic
   mockEngine := &MockWorkflowEngine{
       ExecuteFunc: func(workflow Workflow) Result {
           // RED FLAG: Mock contains business logic
           if workflow.Type == "scaling" {
               return calculateScalingResult(workflow) // This IS business logic!
           }
           // This should be tested directly, not in mocks
       },
   }
   ```

### **ROI Optimization Strategies**

#### **Instead of Low-ROI Unit Tests:**

1. **Property-Based Testing for Edge Cases**
   ```go
   // BETTER: Test properties instead of exhaustive scenarios
   It("should maintain invariants across all configurations", func() {
       // Use property-based testing for edge case coverage
       quick.Check(func(config Config) bool {
           result := ValidateConfiguration(config)
           return result.IsValid() == (len(result.Errors) == 0)
       }, nil)
   })
   ```

2. **Integration Test Coverage for Complex Scenarios**
   ```go
   // BETTER: Move complex scenarios to focused integration tests
   Context("Complex Configuration Interactions", func() {
       It("should handle enterprise-scale configuration scenarios", func() {
           // Integration test covers complex real-world scenarios
           // Less maintenance overhead than exhaustive unit test mocking
       })
   })
   ```

3. **Documentation-Driven Testing**
   ```go
   // BETTER: Document expected behavior instead of exhaustive testing

           Skip("BR-CONFIG-999: Documented behavior - tested in integration suite")
       })
   })
   ```
