Test: Add test files for src/pages

Currently, the application lacks sufficient test coverage for the pages located in the src/pages directory. These pages are critical as they handle core user interactions, routing, and data flow within the application. The absence of proper test files increases the risk of undetected bugs and reduces confidence in code stability during future updates.

The expected behavior is to have well-structured and comprehensive test files for all pages to ensure reliability, maintainability, and correctness of the application.

Problem Statement

The src/pages directory contains key pages that drive the main functionality of the application, such as user navigation, form handling, and API interactions. However, there are currently no dedicated test files covering these components.

This impacts developers and users in several ways. Developers lack confidence when making changes due to the absence of automated validation, and users may experience unexpected issues due to untested edge cases. Additionally, it becomes difficult to maintain code quality and ensure regression prevention.

This issue can be observed by navigating to the src/pages directory, where test files (e.g., *.test.tsx) are either missing or incomplete.

Proposed Solution

The proposed solution is to create comprehensive test files for each page inside the src/pages directory using a testing framework along with React Testing Library.

Each page should have a corresponding test file that validates:

  • Proper rendering of components
  • User interactions (form inputs, button clicks, navigation)
  • API calls and data handling
  • Loading and error states

This will involve creating new test files in a structured manner, mocking API responses where necessary, and ensuring all critical flows are covered.

Test Assertions Required:

  • Renders correctly with initial state
  • Handles user input correctly
  • Validates input and shows errors
  • Calls API with correct payload
  • Handles loading state
  • Handles success response
  • Handles error response
  • Updates UI state appropriately

Implementation Details

Files to Change

File Path Action Purpose
src/pages/*.tsx Review Identify logic to test
src/__tests__/pages/*.test.tsx Create Add test cases for each page
src/setupTests.ts Modify (if needed) Configure testing environment

Technical Considerations

The tests should follow best practices using React Testing Library, focusing on user behavior rather than implementation details. API calls should be mocked to ensure consistent and reliable test execution. Reusable test utilities and mock data should be created to reduce duplication.

UI/UX Requirements

Tests should ensure that:

  • All page elements render correctly
  • User interactions behave as expected
  • Pages are responsive and accessible
  • Error and loading states are properly displayed

Testing Strategy

Manual Testing

Test Environment:

  • Browser: Chrome
  • Viewport: Desktop and Mobile
  • User Role: General User

Manual Test Steps:

  1. Navigate through all pages
  2. Perform user interactions (forms, buttons)
  3. Verify expected behavior

Automated Testing

Unit Tests:

  • Component render tests
  • User interaction tests
  • API integration tests
  • Error handling tests

Integration Tests:

  • Route navigation tests
  • Multi-component interaction tests

Test Data Requirements 

const mockTestData = {
  user: {
    name: "Test User",
    email: "[email protected]"
  },
  apiResponse: {
    success: true,
    data: []
  }
};

Definition of Done

  • All pages have corresponding test files
  • Acceptance criteria met
  • All test cases passing
  • Unit tests implemented with sufficient coverage
  • Manual testing completed
  • No console errors
  • Code reviewed and approved
  • ESLint and formatting checks passed

Additional Context

This issue is essential to improve code reliability, maintainability, and confidence during future feature development. Adding test coverage for src/pages ensures better stability and reduces the likelihood of regressions.
