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.
