-# Testing Strategies
-
-## Overview
-
-A comprehensive testing strategy ensures software quality and reliability. This guide covers different testing levels, strategies, and when to use each approach.
-
-## Testing Pyramid
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-**Foundation Layer:**
-- Test individual components
-- Fast execution
-- High coverage
-- Isolated tests
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Test single functions/classes
-- Mock external dependencies
-- Fast feedback
-- Easy to maintain
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-def test_calculate_total():
-    items = [10, 20, 30]
-    assert calculate_total(items) == 60
-```
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-**Middle Layer:**
-- Test component interactions
-- Verify integrations work
-- Test with real dependencies
-- Moderate execution time
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Test multiple components
-- Use test databases
-- Verify contracts
-- Test API integrations
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-def test_user_registration():
-    user = register_user("test@example.com", "password")
-    assert user.email == "test@example.com"
-    assert user.is_active is True
-```
-
-### End-to-End Tests
-
-**Top Layer:**
-- Test complete workflows
-- User-facing scenarios
-- Slow execution
-- Lower coverage
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Test full user journeys
-- Use real browsers
-- Test critical paths
-- Expensive to maintain
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-def test_checkout_flow():
-    # Navigate to product page
-    # Add to cart
-    # Checkout
-    # Complete payment
-    # Verify order
-```
-
-## Test Types
-
-### Functional Testing
-
-**Verify Functionality:**
-- Test features work correctly
-- Verify requirements
-- Test user workflows
-- Validate business logic
-
-### Non-Functional Testing
-
-**Quality Attributes:**
-- Performance testing
-- Security testing
-- Usability testing
-- Accessibility testing
-
-### Regression Testing
-
-**Prevent Breakage:**
-- Test existing features
-- Verify no regressions
-- Run after changes
-- Automated test suite
-
-## Testing Strategies
-
-### Test-Driven Development (TDD)
-
-**Red-Green-Refactor:**
-1. Write failing test
-2. Write minimal code to pass
-3. Refactor code
-4. Repeat
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Better design
-- High test coverage
-- Confidence in code
-- Documentation
-
-### Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
-
-**Given-When-Then:**
-- Natural language tests
-- Collaboration with stakeholders
-- Focus on behavior
-- Clear scenarios
-
-**Example:**
-```gherkin
-Feature: User login
-  Scenario: Successful login
-    Given a registered user
-    When they enter valid credentials
-    Then they should be logged in
-```
-
-### Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD)
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- Write tests from requirements
-- Verify acceptance criteria
-- Collaboration with stakeholders
-- Clear requirements
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-### Coverage Metrics
-
-**Types of Coverage:**
-- **Line Coverage**: Percentage of lines executed
-- **Branch Coverage**: Percentage of branches executed
-- **Function Coverage**: Percentage of functions called
-- **Statement Coverage**: Percentage of statements executed
-
-### Coverage Goals
-
-**Target Coverage:**
-- Unit tests: 80-90% coverage
-- Critical paths: 100% coverage
-- Integration tests: 60-70% coverage
-- E2E tests: Cover critical paths
-
-### Coverage Tools
-
-**Common Tools:**
-- Coverage.py (Python)
-- JaCoCo (Java)
-- Istanbul (JavaScript)
-- Codecov, Coveralls
-
-## Test Organization
-
-### Test Structure
-
-**Organize Tests:**
-- Mirror source structure
-- Group by feature
-- Use descriptive names
-- Separate test data
-
-**Example:**
-```
-tests/
-├── unit/
-│   ├── test_user.py
-│   └── test_order.py
-├── integration/
-│   ├── test_api.py
-│   └── test_database.py
-└── e2e/
-    └── test_checkout.py
-```
-
-### Test Naming
-
-**Descriptive Names:**
-- Test what is being tested
-- Include expected behavior
-- Use clear language
-- Follow conventions
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-def test_calculate_total_returns_sum_of_items():
-    # Test implementation
-    pass
-
-def test_calculate_total_handles_empty_list():
-    # Test implementation
-    pass
-```
-
-## Test Data Management
-
-### Test Fixtures
-
-**Reusable Test Data:**
-- Create test fixtures
-- Use factories
-- Isolate test data
-- Clean up after tests
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-@pytest.fixture
-def user():
-    return User(email="test@example.com", password="password")
-
-def test_user_login(user):
-    assert login(user.email, user.password) is True
-```
-
-### Test Isolation
-
-**Independent Tests:**
-- Each test is independent
-- No shared state
-- Can run in any order
-- Easy to debug
-
-## Continuous Testing
-
-### CI/CD Integration
-
-**Automated Testing:**
-- Run tests on every commit
-- Fast feedback
-- Prevent broken code
-- Automated deployment
-
-### Test Execution
-
-**Execution Strategy:**
-- Run fast tests first
-- Parallel execution
-- Fail fast
-- Comprehensive reporting
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Write Tests First**: TDD approach
-2. **Test Behavior**: Focus on what, not how
-3. **Keep Tests Simple**: One assertion per test
-4. **Use Descriptive Names**: Clear test names
-5. **Maintain Tests**: Update with code changes
-6. **Test Edge Cases**: Boundary conditions
-7. **Mock External Dependencies**: Isolate units
-8. **Run Tests Frequently**: Continuous testing
-
-## Common Mistakes
-
-### Testing Implementation
-
-**Problem:**
-- Testing how, not what
-- Brittle tests
-- Break on refactoring
-
-**Solution:**
-- Test behavior
-- Test public interface
-- Focus on outcomes
-
-### Over-Mocking
-
-**Problem:**
-- Too many mocks
-- Tests don't reflect reality
-- Hard to maintain
-
-**Solution:**
-- Mock external dependencies
-- Use real objects when possible
-- Balance isolation and realism
-
-### Slow Tests
-
-**Problem:**
-- Tests take too long
-- Slow feedback
-- Reduced test frequency
-
-**Solution:**
-- Optimize test execution
-- Use test doubles
-- Parallel execution
-- Separate slow tests
