UNIT_TESTS.md

Unit Tests

This directory contains unit tests for the ProjectFlow application. Unit tests focus on testing individual components and functions in isolation.

Test Structure

Each test file corresponds to a specific model or utility:

• user_test.go: Tests the User model's validation and lifecycle methods
• project_test.go: Tests the Project model's validation and lifecycle methods
• task_test.go: Tests the Task model's validation and lifecycle methods
• jwt_test.go: Tests JWT token generation and validation

Running Tests

To run all unit tests:

make test-unit

To run a specific test file:

go test -v ./tests/unit/user_test.go

Test Coverage

To generate a test coverage report:

make test-coverage

Best Practices

• Each test should be independent and not rely on the state from other tests
• Use descriptive test names that explain what is being tested
• Use table-driven tests for testing multiple scenarios
• Use assertions from the testify/assert package for clearer test failures
