test: add test cases for dropdown-menu.tsx, form.tsx and select.tsx
Issue Summary
Add comprehensive unit test cases for dropdown-menu.tsx, form.tsx, and select.tsx UI components to improve test coverage, ensure correct user interactions, and validate accessibility behavior.
Problem Statement
The UI components dropdown-menu.tsx, form.tsx, and select.tsx currently lack sufficient unit test coverage.
Issues:
-
❌ Dropdown and select interactions are not tested -
❌ Form validation and submission flows are unverified -
❌ Accessibility roles and keyboard interactions are missing -
❌ Edge cases and conditional rendering are not covered
Impact:
- Increased risk of UI regressions
- Incorrect user interactions may go unnoticed
- Reduced confidence during refactoring
- Lower overall test coverage
Proposed Solution
-
Add unit tests using Jest + React Testing Library
-
Cover:
- Rendering and UI structure
- User interactions (click, select, input)
- Form validation and submission
- Dropdown and select option handling
- Accessibility behavior
-
Create test files:
src/__tests__/dropdown-menu.test.tsx src/__tests__/form.test.tsx src/__tests__/select.test.tsx
Test-Driven Development
Acceptance Criteria (Given-When-Then)
Scenario 1: Dropdown menu opens and displays items
Given the dropdown menu is rendered
When the user clicks the trigger
Then the menu should open
And menu items should be visible
Scenario 2: Dropdown item selection
Given the dropdown menu is open
When the user selects an item
Then the corresponding action should be triggered
And the menu should close
Scenario 3: Select component option selection
Given the select component is rendered
When the user opens the select dropdown
Then available options should be visible
When an option is selected
Then the selected value should be displayed
Scenario 4: Form validation errors
Given the form is submitted with invalid inputs
When validation occurs
Then error messages should be displayed
Scenario 5: Form submission success
Given valid form inputs
When the user submits the form
Then the submit handler should be called with correct data
Test Cases
| Test ID | Test Description | Precondition | Test Steps | Expected Result | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC-001 | Dropdown render | Component loaded | Render component | Trigger visible | High |
| TC-002 | Dropdown open | Closed state | Click trigger | Menu opens | High |
| TC-003 | Dropdown item select | Menu open | Click item | Action triggered & menu closes | High |
| TC-004 | Select render | Component loaded | Render component | Select visible | High |
| TC-005 | Select option display | Select closed | Click trigger | Options visible | High |
| TC-006 | Select option choose | Options visible | Select option | Value updates | High |
| TC-007 | Form render | Component loaded | Render form | Inputs visible | High |
| TC-008 | Form input handling | Form loaded | Enter values | Values update | High |
| TC-009 | Form validation | Invalid input | Submit form | Errors shown | High |
| TC-010 | Form submission | Valid input | Submit form | Handler called | High |
Unit Test Requirements
Components/Functions to Test:
| Module/Component | Function/Hook | Test Cases to Cover |
|---|---|---|
dropdown-menu.tsx |
open/close, item select | TC-001, TC-002, TC-003 |
select.tsx |
option selection, display | TC-004, TC-005, TC-006 |
form.tsx |
input handling, validation, submit | TC-007 to TC-010 |
Test Assertions Required:
-
Renders correctly with initial state -
Handles user interactions (click, select, input) -
Validates input and displays errors -
Calls submit handler with correct payload -
Updates UI state appropriately -
Accessibility roles verified (menu, listbox, form inputs)
Implementation Details
Files to Change
| File Path | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
src/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx |
Review | Ensure testability |
src/components/ui/select.tsx |
Review | Ensure selection logic testable |
src/components/ui/form.tsx |
Review | Ensure validation logic testable |
src/__tests__/dropdown-menu.test.tsx |
Create | Dropdown tests |
src/__tests__/select.test.tsx |
Create | Select tests |
src/__tests__/form.test.tsx |
Create | Form tests |
Technical Considerations
- Use
screen.getByRole()for accessibility-focused testing - Prefer
userEventfor realistic interactions - Mock external UI libraries if required
- Avoid testing implementation details
UI/UX Requirements
-
Dropdown:
- Opens on click
- Displays menu items
- Closes on selection
-
Select:
- Displays options
- Updates selected value
-
Form:
- Accepts input
- Validates fields
- Shows errors
- Submits successfully
Testing Strategy
Manual Testing
Test Environment:
- Browser: Chrome
- Viewport: Desktop
Manual Test Steps:
- Open dropdown → verify items
- Select option → verify action
- Open select → choose option
- Fill form → submit → check validation
Automated Testing
Unit Tests:
-
Component render tests -
Interaction tests -
Validation tests -
Error handling tests
Integration Tests:
-
Combined interaction tests (dropdown/select within form if applicable)
Test Data Requirements
Definition of Done
-
Acceptance criteria met -
All test cases passing -
Unit tests added -
Coverage improved -
Code reviewed -
Accessibility checks passed -
No console errors -
TypeScript types defined
Additional Context
Notes
- Focus is on UI component testing only
- No functional changes introduced
- Improves maintainability and prevents regressions
