```
Testing follows pytest framework with unit tests in tests/unit/ directory. Scripts are tested via subprocess calls with sample data. Quality validation includes embedding dimension checks, normalization validation (unit vectors), and semantic similarity tests with known query-operation pairs. Performance benchmarks measure generation time (<60s), loading time (<500ms), and query encoding time (<100ms).
```

**Test Locations (3 files):**
1. `tests/unit/test_embeddings.py` - Unit tests for embedding quality validation
2. `scripts/test_embeddings.py` - Integration test script for semantic similarity validation
3. `scripts/benchmark_embeddings.py` - Performance benchmark script

**Test Ideas (13 tests mapped to ACs):**
- AC #1: Script existence, CLI argument parsing (2 tests)
- AC #2: File creation, structure validation, operation coverage (2 tests)
- AC #3: Model initialization, embedding dimensions (2 tests)
- AC #4: File size, generation time, loading time (3 tests)
- AC #5: Vector normalization, semantic similarity queries (3 tests)
- AC #6: JSON structure, validity (2 tests)
- AC #7: Input validation, error handling, directory creation (4 tests)
