Testing Considerations

[boexler]

Overview

This issue tracks the implementation of comprehensive testing for the NLogViewer application.

Testing Requirements

Unit Tests for Parsers

• Test all parser implementations (JSON, Log4J, PlainText)
• Verify parsing accuracy for various log formats
• Test edge cases and malformed input handling
• Test error handling and recovery

Note: Some parser tests already exist in ests/NLogViewer.ClientApplication.Tests/

Integration Tests for UDP Receiver

• Test UDP log reception functionality
• Verify port binding and listening
• Test multiple port configurations
• Test error scenarios (port conflicts, network issues)
• Test log event forwarding from UDP to UI

UI Tests for Tab Management

• Test tab creation, deletion, and switching
• Test tab persistence (if implemented)
• Test tab state management
• Test UI responsiveness with multiple tabs

Performance Tests for High-Volume Logs

• Test application behavior under high log volume
• Measure memory usage with large log sets
• Test filtering and search performance with many entries
• Test UI responsiveness during high-volume logging
• Verify MaxLogEntriesPerTab configuration effectiveness

Acceptance Criteria

• Unit tests cover all parser implementations
• Integration tests verify UDP receiver functionality
• UI tests validate tab management features
• Performance tests demonstrate acceptable behavior under load
• All tests are part of CI/CD pipeline
