backend-test-additions

To add backend tests, identify high-value unit, integration, or contract test layers to verify domain invariants and endpoint behavior. Tailor a minimal set covering the happy path plus two failure paths, using deterministic mocks and repo-aligned fixtures.

The minimum set of backend tests for regressions includes one happy path and two failure paths. This targeted set ensures high-value scenario coverage while keeping the suite deterministic and low-flake using appropriate mocks and repo conventions.

Test backend job-related retries by applying deterministic test patterns with appropriate mocks aligned to repository conventions. This verifies that retry policies are respected without introducing flake risk from external dependencies.

Use contract testing to verify endpoint status mapping and interface agreements, and integration testing for broader domain invariants and job retries. Choose the layer that targets your specific high-value scenarios while maintaining deterministic results.

Run new backend tests by executing the repository's existing test suite commands. This validates the added behavior and regression tests against repo-aligned conventions, confirming no existing functionality is broken.
