# Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
This page describes the testing structure, conventions, and current coverage for
|
||||
quicnprotochat. All tests run with `cargo test --workspace` and must pass before
|
||||
any code is merged.
|
||||
|
||||
For the coding standards that tests must follow, see
|
||||
[Coding Standards](coding-standards.md).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Organisation
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Unit tests live alongside the code they test, in `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` blocks
|
||||
at the bottom of each source file. They test individual functions and types in
|
||||
isolation.
|
||||
|
||||
**quicnprotochat-core:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Module | Tests | What they cover |
|
||||
|--------|-------|----------------|
|
||||
| `codec` | 7 tests | Length-prefixed frame encoding/decoding, edge cases (empty payload, max size, partial frame, exact boundary) |
|
||||
| `keypair` | 3 tests | Ed25519 keypair generation, public key extraction, deterministic re-derivation |
|
||||
| `group` | 2 tests | Group round-trip (create + add + join + send + recv), group\_id lifecycle |
|
||||
| `hybrid_kem` | 11 tests | Encapsulate/decapsulate round-trip, key generation, combiner correctness, wrong-key rejection, serialisation |
|
||||
|
||||
**quicnprotochat-proto:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Module | Tests | What they cover |
|
||||
|--------|-------|----------------|
|
||||
| `lib` | 3 tests | Cap'n Proto builder/reader round-trip, canonical serialisation, schema validation |
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Integration tests live in `crates/quicnprotochat-client/tests/` and test the
|
||||
full client-server interaction. Each test spawns a server using `tokio::spawn`
|
||||
within the same test binary, then runs client operations against it.
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Milestone | What it covers |
|
||||
|------|-----------|---------------|
|
||||
| `noise_transport.rs` | M1 | Noise\_XX handshake over TCP, Ping/Pong frame exchange, connection lifecycle |
|
||||
| `auth_service.rs` | M2 | KeyPackage upload via AS, KeyPackage fetch (single-use consume semantics), identity key validation |
|
||||
| `mls_group.rs` | M3 | Full MLS round-trip: register state, create group, add member via Welcome, send encrypted message, receive and decrypt |
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
All integration tests follow the same pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[tokio::test]
|
||||
async fn test_something() {
|
||||
// 1. Start server in background
|
||||
let server_handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
|
||||
server::run(config).await.unwrap();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Wait for server to be ready
|
||||
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Run client operations
|
||||
let result = client::do_something(server_addr).await;
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Assert
|
||||
assert!(result.is_ok());
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
|
||||
// 5. Cleanup
|
||||
server_handle.abort();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern ensures tests are self-contained and do not require an external
|
||||
server process.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
### Full Workspace
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test --workspace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This runs all unit tests and integration tests across all four crates.
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Crate
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-core
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-proto
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-server
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-client
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-core -- codec::tests::test_round_trip
|
||||
cargo test -p quicnprotochat-client --test mls_group
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### With Output
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test --workspace -- --nocapture
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Current Results
|
||||
|
||||
All tests pass as of the M3 milestone on branch `feat/m1-noise-transport`.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary:
|
||||
|
||||
| Crate | Unit Tests | Integration Tests | Total |
|
||||
|-------|-----------|-------------------|-------|
|
||||
| `quicnprotochat-core` | 23 | -- | 23 |
|
||||
| `quicnprotochat-proto` | 3 | -- | 3 |
|
||||
| `quicnprotochat-server` | 0 | -- | 0 |
|
||||
| `quicnprotochat-client` | 0 | 6 | 6 |
|
||||
| **Total** | **26** | **6** | **32** |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Test Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming
|
||||
|
||||
Test functions use descriptive names that state what is being tested and the
|
||||
expected outcome:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[test]
|
||||
fn encode_decode_round_trip_preserves_payload() { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
#[test]
|
||||
fn empty_payload_produces_length_zero_frame() { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
#[test]
|
||||
fn fetch_consumes_keypackage_single_use() { ... }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Assertions
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `assert_eq!` with both expected and actual values.
|
||||
- Use `assert!(result.is_ok(), "descriptive message: {result:?}")` for
|
||||
`Result` checks.
|
||||
- For crypto operations, assert on specific error variants, not just
|
||||
`is_err()`.
|
||||
|
||||
### No External Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Tests must not depend on external services, network access, or filesystem state
|
||||
outside the test's temporary directory. The `tokio::spawn` pattern for
|
||||
client-server tests ensures everything runs in-process.
|
||||
|
||||
### Determinism
|
||||
|
||||
Tests must be deterministic. If randomness is needed (e.g., key generation),
|
||||
the test must not depend on specific random values -- only on the properties of
|
||||
the output (correct length, successful round-trip, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Planned Testing Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
The following testing improvements are planned for future milestones:
|
||||
|
||||
### Fuzzing Targets (M5+)
|
||||
|
||||
Fuzz testing for parser and deserialisation code:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cap'n Proto message parser:** Feed arbitrary bytes to the Cap'n Proto reader
|
||||
and verify it either parses correctly or returns a typed error (no panics,
|
||||
no undefined behaviour).
|
||||
- **MLS message handler:** Feed arbitrary `MLSMessage` bytes to the
|
||||
`GroupMember::receive_message` path.
|
||||
- **Length-prefixed codec:** Fuzz the frame decoder with arbitrary byte streams.
|
||||
|
||||
Tool: `cargo-fuzz` with `libfuzzer`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Golden-Wire Fixtures (M5+)
|
||||
|
||||
Serialised test vectors for regression testing across versions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Capture the wire bytes of known-good Cap'n Proto messages (Envelope, Auth,
|
||||
Delivery structs) at the current version.
|
||||
- Store as `.bin` files in `tests/fixtures/`.
|
||||
- Each test deserialises the fixture and verifies the expected field values.
|
||||
- When the wire format changes, fixtures are updated with a version bump.
|
||||
|
||||
This catches accidental wire-format regressions that would break client-server
|
||||
compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
### N-1 Compatibility Tests (M5+)
|
||||
|
||||
Test that a client built at version N can communicate with a server built at
|
||||
version N-1 (and vice versa):
|
||||
|
||||
- Build two versions of the binary (current and previous release).
|
||||
- Run the older server with the newer client and verify all RPCs succeed.
|
||||
- Run the newer server with the older client and verify graceful degradation
|
||||
(legacy mode works, new features return clean errors).
|
||||
|
||||
### Criterion Benchmarks (M5)
|
||||
|
||||
Performance benchmarks using [Criterion.rs](https://docs.rs/criterion/):
|
||||
|
||||
- Key generation latency (Ed25519, X25519, ML-KEM-768).
|
||||
- MLS encap/decap (KeyPackage generation, Welcome processing).
|
||||
- Group-add latency scaling: 2, 10, 100, 1000 members.
|
||||
- Cap'n Proto serialise/deserialise throughput.
|
||||
- Noise handshake latency.
|
||||
|
||||
Benchmarks run separately from tests (`cargo bench`) and are not part of the
|
||||
CI gate, but are tracked for regression detection.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker-based E2E Tests (Phase 5)
|
||||
|
||||
End-to-end tests using `testcontainers-rs` (see
|
||||
[Future Research: Testcontainers-rs](../roadmap/future-research.md#testcontainers-rs)):
|
||||
|
||||
- Spin up server container from the Docker image.
|
||||
- Run client operations from the test process against the containerised server.
|
||||
- Verify real network boundaries, container startup, and multi-process
|
||||
interactions.
