## Test Markers and Categories

### Marker Usage Distribution

The three-tier architecture optimizes for development velocity and cost control:

| Marker | Count | Purpose | Strategy |
|--------|-------|---------|----------|
| `asyncio` | 130 | Async test execution | Core infrastructure |
| `usefixtures` | 24 | Fixture dependency | Reusable setup |
| `marker` | 9 | PDF extraction (Marker) | Very expensive, 8GB+ RAM |
| `expensive` | 7 | High API cost tests | Gated, require explicit opt-in |
| `smoke` | 5 | Critical path (<1s target) | Run on every commit |
| `slow` | 5 | Time-intensive tests | Deselect in fast runs |
| `accuracy` | 4 | Ground truth validation | Real API, real documents |
| `integration` | 3 | Full system tests | Expensive, comprehensive |
| `skip` | 1 | Temporarily disabled | Minimal technical debt |

### Default Test Run Configuration

From `pytest.ini`, the default behavior is:
```
-m "not expensive and not integration and not accuracy and not marker"
```

**Outcome:** Fast feedback loop for developers while protecting against accidental API costs.

| `mapping_tools.py` | 143 | 132 | **7.69%** | Critical Gap |
| `analyze_llm.py` | 62 | 62 | **0.00%** | Not Covered |
| `base.py` | 47 | 47 | **0.00%** | Not Covered |

**Observations:**

1. **Session and state management:** Near-perfect coverage (96%+) indicates solid foundational testing
2. **Upload and file handling:** Strong coverage (84.58%) with 57 dedicated tests
3. **Evidence and document tools:** Good coverage (67-68%) but room for improvement
4. **LLM analysis tools:** Zero coverage reveals strategic testing gap - likely protected by expensive markers
5. **Mapping tools:** Critical coverage gap (7.69%) - highest priority for improvement

## Test Infrastructure Quality

### Support Files

| File | Lines | Purpose | Quality |
|------|-------|---------|---------|
| `conftest.py` | 427 | Shared fixtures and configuration | Well-developed |
| `factories.py` | 378 | Test data builders and helpers | Sophisticated |
| **Total Support** | **805** | 10.67% of test codebase | Excellent ratio |

### Test Data Factory Architecture

The `factories.py` module demonstrates professional test engineering:

1. **Builder Pattern Implementation:**
   - `FileBuilder`: Fluent API for test files
   - `SessionBuilder`: Composable session creation
   - `SessionManager`: Context manager for cleanup

2. **Quick Factories:**
   - `pdf_file()`, `text_file()`: Instant test data
   - `basic_session()`, `multi_file_session()`: Common scenarios
   - `path_based_session()`: Real directory testing

3. **Assertion Helpers:**
   - `SessionAssertions`: 6 reusable validation methods
   - Reduces duplication across 24 test files

4. **LLM Mock Helpers:**
   - `create_llm_mock_response()`: Structured mock responses
   - `mock_date_extraction()`: Field-specific mocks
   - Enables testing without API costs

**Impact:** This infrastructure enables the 282 tests to remain DRY and maintainable.

## Test Quality Indicators

### Positive Signals

✅ **High test:source ratio (2.14:1):** More test code than production code shows serious quality commitment

✅ **Low technical debt:** Only 3 TODO/FIXME markers in test code

✅ **Comprehensive fixture usage:** 25 fixtures with 24 `usefixtures` decorations

✅ **Parallel execution enabled:** `-n auto` in pytest.ini for fast feedback

✅ **Strict marker enforcement:** `--strict-markers` prevents typos

✅ **Minimal mock usage:** Only 3 imports of mock/unittest - tests are mostly real

✅ **Strong smoke tests:** 11 smoke tests in 200 lines for instant feedback

✅ **Zero parameterized tests:** No `@pytest.mark.parametrize` - suggests focused, explicit tests

### Areas for Improvement

⚠️ **Mapping tools coverage gap (7.69%):** Critical system component needs testing

⚠️ **LLM tools not covered (0%):** `analyze_llm.py` and `base.py` completely untested

⚠️ **Cost tracker coverage (34.21%):** Important monitoring tool needs better coverage

⚠️ **Validation tools (47.71%):** Core business logic deserves higher coverage

## Test Execution Performance

### Three-Tier Strategy

**Tier 1: Smoke Tests (5 tests)**
- Target: <1 second total
- Purpose: Instant feedback on critical paths
- Run: Every save, every commit

**Tier 2: Unit & Fast Tests (253 tests estimated)**
- Target: <30 seconds total
- Purpose: Comprehensive fast feedback
- Run: Default `pytest` invocation

**Tier 3: Expensive/Integration Tests (24 tests estimated)**
- Includes: 7 expensive, 9 marker, 4 accuracy, 3 integration, 5 slow
- Purpose: Thorough validation before merge
- Run: Explicit opt-in (`pytest -m expensive`)

### Estimated Test Distribution

Based on markers and file analysis:

- **Fast tests:** ~253 tests (89.7%)
- **Expensive tests:** ~29 tests (10.3%)

This distribution is ideal for development velocity.
