[babblebey]

Part of: #170
Depends on: #171, #172, #173

📋 Phase 5: Integration Tests (Lower Priority)

Scope

This phase focuses on end-to-end workflows and external service integration testing.

6. End-to-End Workflows

Why later: Complex setup, but validates complete user journeys.

Critical User Flows

• Complete word submission flow
• Word editing workflow
• Authentication flow
• Search and browse functionality

External Service Integration

• GitHub API integration
• OAuth flow with GitHub
• Repository operations

Testing Strategy

End-to-End Test Cases

• New User Journey

  • Sign up/login via GitHub
  • Submit first word
  • Verify PR creation

• Word Management Journey

  • Search for existing word
  • Edit word content
  • Verify PR update

• Error Handling Journey

  • Network failures
  • Authentication errors
  • GitHub API rate limits

🎯 Success Criteria

• Complete user journeys validated
• External integrations working
• Error scenarios properly handled
• Performance benchmarks met

📅 Timeline

Week 4 of testing implementation (Part 2)

🛠️ Setup Required

• Set up E2E testing framework (Playwright/Cypress)
• Configure test environment
• Set up GitHub test repository
• Create E2E test fixtures

🚨 Important Notes

• These tests will interact with external services
• Requires careful setup to avoid affecting production
• May need dedicated test GitHub repositories
