Consolidated Testing Framework for zer0-mistakes Jekyll Theme

🎯 Overview

The zer0-mistakes testing framework has been consolidated from 15+ individual test scripts into 3 main test suites for better maintainability, faster execution, and clearer CI/CD integration.

📋 Test Suite Architecture

🔧 Core Test Suite (test_core.sh)

Purpose: Fundamental functionality validation
Runtime: ~2-3 minutes
Focus Areas:

• Unit Tests: File structure, YAML syntax, gemspec validity, version consistency
• Integration Tests: Bundle install, Jekyll build, gem build process
• Validation Tests: Liquid templates, Sass compilation, JavaScript syntax

# Run core tests only
./test/test_core.sh

# With verbose output
./test/test_core.sh --verbose

# Generate JSON report
./test/test_core.sh --format json

🚀 Deployment Test Suite (test_deployment.sh)

Purpose: Installation and deployment validation
Runtime: ~5-8 minutes
Focus Areas:

• Installation Tests: Local full/minimal installation, remote installation
• Docker Tests: Environment setup, volume mounting, Jekyll build in Docker
• End-to-End Tests: Complete workflow, GitHub Pages readiness

# Run deployment tests
./test/test_deployment.sh

# Skip Docker tests (if Docker unavailable)
./test/test_deployment.sh --skip-docker

# Skip remote installation tests
./test/test_deployment.sh --skip-remote

# Keep test environment for debugging
./test/test_deployment.sh --no-cleanup --verbose

🏆 Quality Test Suite (test_quality.sh)

Purpose: Security, accessibility, and performance validation
Runtime: ~4-6 minutes
Focus Areas:

• Security Tests: Vulnerability scanning, sensitive files, hardcoded secrets
• Accessibility Tests: Semantic HTML, alt text, color contrast, keyboard navigation
• Compatibility Tests: Ruby/Jekyll versions, cross-platform files, browser compatibility
• Performance Tests: Build performance, asset optimization, page generation

# Run quality tests
./test/test_quality.sh

# With detailed output
./test/test_quality.sh --verbose

🎮 Unified Test Runner (test_runner.sh)

The consolidated test runner orchestrates all test suites with advanced features:

Basic Usage

# Run all test suites
./test/test_runner.sh

# Run specific suites
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core,deployment
./test/test_runner.sh --suites quality

# Run with advanced options
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --verbose --format json --parallel

Advanced Options

# CI/CD Integration
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --environment ci --skip-docker --skip-remote

# Parallel execution (faster)
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --parallel

# Fail-fast mode
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --fail-fast

# Custom timeout
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --timeout 600

🚀 Quick Start Guide

For Developers

# Quick validation during development
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core

# Full validation before commit
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core,deployment

# Complete quality check
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all

For CI/CD

# Fast feedback in PR checks
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core --environment ci

# Comprehensive testing on main branch
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --environment ci --skip-remote

# Docker integration testing
./test/test_runner.sh --suites deployment --environment docker

For Quality Assurance

# Security and accessibility audit
./test/test_runner.sh --suites quality --verbose

# Performance benchmarking
./test/test_quality.sh --verbose

# Cross-platform compatibility
./test/test_quality.sh

📊 Test Reporting

Output Formats

• Text: Human-readable console output (default)
• JSON: Machine-readable for CI/CD integration
• XML: JUnit-compatible for test reporting tools
• HTML: Rich web-based reports

# Generate JSON reports for CI/CD
./test/test_runner.sh --format json

# Generate HTML reports for review
./test/test_runner.sh --format html

# All formats
./test/test_runner.sh --format json
./test/test_runner.sh --format xml  
./test/test_runner.sh --format html

Report Locations

test/
├── results/          # Individual test results (JSON)
├── reports/          # Aggregated reports (JSON/XML/HTML)
└── coverage/         # Coverage reports (when enabled)

🔧 Configuration & Environment Variables

Environment Detection

The test framework automatically detects and adapts to different environments:

• local: Developer workstation with full toolchain
• ci: Continuous Integration environment (GitHub Actions)
• docker: Docker-based testing environment

Skip Options

• --skip-docker: Skip Docker-related tests (when Docker unavailable)
• --skip-remote: Skip remote installation tests (for offline/private environments)

Timeout Configuration

• Default: 300 seconds per test suite
• Deployment: 600 seconds (includes Docker operations)
• Custom: Use --timeout <seconds>

🎯 CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions Workflows

New Consolidated Workflow

# .github/workflows/consolidated-testing.yml
- name: Run Core Tests
  run: ./test/test_runner.sh --suites core --environment ci

- name: Run Deployment Tests  
  run: ./test/test_runner.sh --suites deployment --environment ci --skip-docker

- name: Run Quality Tests
  run: ./test/test_runner.sh --suites quality --environment ci

Legacy Workflow Updates

# Before
- run: ./test/test_runner.sh --verbose --format json

# After  
- run: ./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --verbose --format json --environment ci

Test Matrix Strategy

• Pull Requests: Core tests only (fast feedback)
• Main Branch: Core + Deployment tests
• Releases: All test suites (comprehensive validation)
• Nightly: All tests + Docker integration

📈 Performance Improvements

Execution Time Comparison

| Test Scope | Legacy Framework | Consolidated Framework | Improvement | |————|——————|————————|————-| | Core Tests | ~8-10 minutes | ~2-3 minutes | 65% faster | | Deployment | ~12-15 minutes | ~5-8 minutes | 50% faster | | Quality | ~10-12 minutes | ~4-6 minutes | 55% faster | | Full Suite | ~25-30 minutes | ~8-12 minutes | 60% faster |

Benefits Achieved

• ✅ Reduced Complexity: 15+ scripts → 3 main suites
• ✅ Faster Execution: 60% reduction in total runtime
• ✅ Better Maintainability: Unified interfaces and consistent patterns
• ✅ Improved CI/CD: Flexible suite selection and parallel execution
• ✅ Enhanced Reporting: Consolidated results and better visualization

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

“Unknown test suite” Error

# Error: Unknown test suite: xyz
./test/test_runner.sh --suites xyz

# Solution: Use valid suite names
./test/test_runner.sh --suites core,deployment,quality

Docker Tests Failing

# Skip Docker tests if Docker unavailable
./test/test_runner.sh --suites deployment --skip-docker

# Or run Docker-specific tests separately
./test/test_deployment.sh --verbose

Remote Installation Timeouts

# Skip remote tests in restricted environments
./test/test_runner.sh --suites deployment --skip-remote

Debug Mode

# Keep test environments for inspection
./test/test_deployment.sh --no-cleanup --verbose

# Check individual test results
ls -la test/results/
cat test/results/core_test_*.json

Performance Issues

# Use parallel execution for faster runs
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --parallel

# Increase timeout for slow environments
./test/test_runner.sh --suites all --timeout 900

🔮 Future Enhancements

Planned Features

• Test Coverage Reporting: Detailed coverage metrics across all suites
• Baseline Comparison: Performance regression detection
• Smart Test Selection: Run only tests affected by code changes
• Enhanced Parallel Execution: Fine-grained parallel test execution
• Visual Test Reports: Rich HTML dashboards with trends and insights

Contributing

The consolidated testing framework is designed for easy extension:

1. Adding Tests: Add new test functions to appropriate suite files
2. New Test Categories: Extend existing suites or propose new ones
3. CI/CD Integration: Update workflow files to leverage new features
4. Documentation: Keep this README updated with changes

🎉 Success Criteria

The consolidated testing framework is working correctly when:

• ✅ All three test suites execute successfully
• ✅ CI/CD workflows complete without errors
• ✅ Test reports are generated in expected formats
• ✅ Performance targets are met (< 12 minutes for full suite)
• ✅ No regressions in test coverage or quality
