SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend testing is often ad-hoc, leading to flaky releases and undetected regressions. This guide provides a standardized approach to unit, integration, and end-to-end testing for ITSM services, reducing risk and increasing confidence in code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit Tests: Write isolated tests for service methods using enttest with an in-memory database.
  • Integration Tests: Validate API interactions across modules with tests/api using pytest.
  • E2E Tests: Verify user scenarios through the UI with Playwright, ensuring end-to-end reliability.

Quick Start

Run the backend test suite to verify unit, integration, and E2E coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure backend testing for ITSM services to prevent flaky releases?▼

Standardize backend testing by covering unit, integration, and end-to-end scenarios across ITSM services to reduce regression risks and increase deployment confidence.

How do I write unit tests for backend Go services using an in-memory database?▼

Write isolated unit tests for service methods using enttest with an in-memory database to validate backend logic without external dependencies.

What's the best way to run integration tests for API interactions in Go?▼

Validate API interactions across modules by running integration tests located in tests/api using pytest to ensure reliable module communication.

Can I use Playwright for end-to-end testing of ITSM backend services?▼

Yes, verify user scenarios through the UI with Playwright to ensure end-to-end reliability across ITSM services.

Why do I need separate test suites for unit, integration, and E2E testing?▼

Separate suites isolate service methods via enttest, validate API modules via pytest, and verify UI flows via Playwright to prevent undetected regressions.

When should I not use an in-memory database for backend testing?▼

Avoid in-memory databases for integration or E2E tests that require validating actual API interactions or UI scenarios across multiple modules.
