## Test Infrastructure

### Fixtures Used
- `client` - FastAPI test client with mocked database
- `test_project` - Pre-created project for tests
- `test_items` - Pre-created items with various properties
- `test_links` - Pre-created links between items
- `db_session` - Synchronous database session

### Database Setup
- Uses SQLite in-memory databases
- Automatic table creation via SQLAlchemy models
- Automatic cleanup between tests
- Transaction rollback for isolation

---

## Key Test Patterns

### 1. **API Integration Pattern**
```python
def test_api_endpoint(client, test_project):
    """Test complete request-response cycle."""
    response = client.get(f"/api/v1/projects/{test_project.id}")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    data = response.json()
    assert "id" in data
```

### 2. **Repository Interaction Pattern**
```python
def test_repository_operation(db_session, test_project):
    """Test repository with real database."""
    repo = ItemRepository(db_session)
    items = await repo.get_by_project(test_project.id)
    assert len(items) > 0
```

### 3. **Cross-Layer Integration Pattern**
```python
def test_service_repository_integration(db_session, test_project):
    """Test service using repository."""
    repo = ProjectRepository(db_session)
    project = await repo.get_by_id(test_project.id)
    assert project is not None
```

## Known Issues and Future Improvements

### Current Limitations
1. **Schema Mismatches:** Some tests fail due to differences between ORM model definitions and actual database schema
2. **Async/Sync Mismatch:** TestClient doesn't properly support async endpoints in all cases
3. **Complex Queries:** Some advanced graph queries may need additional fixtures

### Recommendations for Enhancement
1. **Align Models:** Ensure ORM models match actual database schema exactly
2. **Mock External Services:** Add mocks for external API calls in analysis endpoints
3. **Performance Tests:** Add integration tests for query performance with large datasets
4. **Concurrent Testing:** Add tests for concurrent access patterns
5. **Error Scenarios:** Expand database constraint violation tests
6. **Load Testing:** Add stress tests for bulk operations

---

## Test Maintenance

### Adding New Tests
1. Create test function in appropriate file
2. Use existing fixtures or create new ones
3. Follow naming convention: `test_<entity>_<operation>`
4. Add docstring explaining what's being tested
5. Use assertions to validate expected behavior

### Updating Tests
- When endpoints change, update corresponding API tests
- When repository methods change, update repo tests
- When services are added, create new integration tests
- Keep fixtures in sync with model changes
