Test: Add test cases for PeerReview.tsx and AnnotationsDashboard.tsx
Issue Summary
The application currently lacks dedicated test cases for the PeerReview.tsx and AnnotationsDashboard.tsx pages. These components play a critical role in handling user interactions, data visualization, and workflow processes. The absence of proper testing increases the risk of undetected bugs and reduces confidence in future code changes.
The expected outcome is to implement comprehensive test coverage for these components to ensure correct behavior, improved reliability, and easier maintenance.
Problem Statement
The PeerReview.tsx and AnnotationsDashboard.tsx components are key parts of the application, responsible for managing peer review workflows and displaying annotation-related data. However, there are currently no structured unit or integration tests covering these components.
This affects developers by making it difficult to safely refactor or extend functionality, as there is no automated validation in place. It also impacts end users, as potential bugs in these critical flows may go unnoticed and affect usability.
The issue can be reproduced by inspecting the src/pages directory, where no corresponding test files exist for these components.
Proposed Solution
To resolve this issue, test files will be created for both PeerReview.tsx and AnnotationsDashboard.tsx using a testing framework such as Vitest or Jest along with React Testing Library.
The tests will cover:
- Component rendering
- User interactions (clicks, inputs, navigation)
- API calls and data handling
- Loading and error states
Mocking techniques will be used for API responses to ensure consistent test execution. This approach will improve test coverage and establish a strong foundation for future development.
Unit Test Requirements
Components/Functions to Test:
| Module/Component | Function/Hook |
|---|---|
PeerReview.tsx |
Component logic & handlers |
AnnotationsDashboard.tsx |
Data rendering & API handling |
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

Files to Change
| File Path | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
src/pages/PeerReview.tsx |
Review | Identify testable logic |

Technical Considerations
Testing will be implemented using React Testing Library to simulate real user behavior. API calls will be mocked to ensure test reliability and independence from backend services. Reusable test utilities and mock data will be created to maintain consistency and reduce duplication.
UI/UX Requirements
Tests should ensure that:
- UI components render correctly
- User interactions behave as expected
- Data is displayed properly
- Error and loading states are handled gracefully
