```

## Test Quality Features

### 1. Comprehensive Coverage

- **Happy Path**: All success scenarios tested
- **Error Cases**: All error conditions tested
- **Edge Cases**: Boundary values, empty data, unicode
- **Integration**: Real-world usage patterns

### 2. Property-Based Testing

Where applicable, tests use Hypothesis for property-based testing:
- String validation with various inputs
- Boundary value testing
- Type constraint validation

### 3. Mocking and Patching

UI panel tests use mocking to avoid actual console output:
```python
@patch("mcp_common.ui.panels.console")
def test_panel_display(mock_console):
    ServerPanels.startup_success(server_name="Test")
    mock_console.print.assert_called_once()
```

### 4. Async Testing

Interface tests properly handle async methods:
```python
tool = ValidTool()
result = asyncio.run(tool.mcp(query="test"))
```

### 5. Exception Testing

All exception paths tested:
```python
with pytest.raises(ServerConfigurationError) as exc_info:
    validate_required_field("field", None)
assert exc_info.value.field == "field"
```

## Maintenance Guidelines

### Adding New Tests

1. **Follow Naming Convention**: `Test{ClassName}` for test classes
2. **Use Descriptive Names**: `test_{scenario}_{expected_result}`
3. **Test One Thing**: Each test method should test one scenario
4. **Arrange-Act-Assert**: Clear structure in tests
5. **Mock External Dependencies**: Use patching for I/O operations

### Markers Used

- `@pytest.mark.unit` - Unit tests (fast, isolated)
- Consider adding: `@pytest.mark.integration` - Integration tests
- Consider adding: `@pytest.mark.slow` - Slow tests (>2s)

## Next Steps

### Phase 2: Additional Coverage

If coverage is still below 60%, consider adding tests for:

1. **CLI Factory** (`mcp_common/cli/`)
   - Factory initialization
   - Command creation
   - Health snapshot management
   - Signal handling

2. **Security** (`mcp_common/security/`)
   - API key validation
   - Input sanitization
   - Output sanitization
   - Format validation

### Phase 3: Integration Tests

Consider adding integration tests for:
- End-to-end configuration loading
- CLI command execution
- Server lifecycle management
- Health monitoring

## Success Criteria

✅ **Completed**:
- Created 6 comprehensive test files
- ~330 new test methods
- ~3,900 lines of test code
- Coverage for all core modules
- Tests for happy paths, errors, and edge cases
- Real-world usage patterns tested

📊 **Expected Results**:
- Overall coverage: 60%+ (target)
- Core modules: 80%+ coverage
- All exceptions tested
- All validation paths tested
- UI components fully tested
