## Test Output Files

After running tests, these files are generated:

```
frontend/
├── build-performance-results.json       # Build metrics
├── runtime-performance-results.json     # Runtime metrics
├── optimization-validation-results.json # Validation checks
├── performance-test-summary.json        # Overall summary

## Initial Validation Results

Ran `bun run test:perf:validate`:

```
✅ Passed: 10/13
❌ Failed: 3/13

Categories:
  ⚠️ Packages: 3/4 passed (node_modules size)
  ⚠️ Build: 2/3 passed (SWC configuration)
  ⚠️ Code: 1/2 passed (memoization)
  ✅ Tests: 4/4 passed

Optimizations Validated:
  ✅ Workspaces configured
  ✅ Bun package manager
  ✅ Lock file exists
  ✅ Turbo cache configured
  ✅ Parallel builds enabled
  ✅ Virtual scrolling implemented
  ✅ Vitest configured
  ✅ Playwright configured
  ✅ 159 unit test files
  ✅ 34 E2E spec files

Non-Critical Issues:
  ⚠️ node_modules 2GB (monorepo, expected)
  ⚠️ SWC not explicitly configured (current setup works)
  ⚠️ Memoization needs enhancement (future improvement)
```

## CI/CD Ready

Example GitHub Actions workflow:

```yaml
name: Frontend Performance Tests

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    paths: ['frontend/**']

jobs:
  performance:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
      - run: cd frontend && bun install
      - run: cd frontend && bun run test:perf
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: always()
        with:
          name: performance-results
          path: frontend/*.json
```

## Usage Examples

### Full Test Suite

```bash
cd frontend
bun run test:perf
# Runs: validation → build → runtime → unit → E2E
# Generates: JSON reports + Markdown summary
```

### Quick Health Check

```bash
bun run test:perf:validate
# Fast validation (30 seconds)
# Checks all optimizations in place
```

### Individual Metrics

```bash
bun run test:perf:build     # Build performance only
bun run test:perf:runtime   # Runtime performance only
```

### CI/CD Integration

```bash
bun run ci:perf  # Same as test:perf, for clarity in CI
```
