test:unit test coverage for analytics, auth, and consultation queue services
Merge Request
Overview
This Merge Request improves backend reliability by adding unit test coverage for analytics, authentication, and consultation queue services.
Previously, these service modules had limited automated tests, making it difficult to validate service logic and increasing the risk of regressions when modifying the backend code.
This MR introduces structured pytest-based unit tests to ensure correct functionality and improve maintainability of the service layer.
What does this MR do and why?
%{first_multiline_commit}
The backend service layer previously lacked sufficient automated testing for important modules including analytics processing, authentication logic, and consultation queue management.
Without proper tests, verifying the correctness of service logic becomes difficult and increases the risk of introducing bugs during future development.
This MR addresses the issue by adding targeted unit tests for these services, ensuring that:
Core service logic behaves correctly
Edge cases are validated
Service responses are verified
The approach focuses on testing service functionality using pytest, following the project's testing conventions.
Changes Made
Key changes introduced in this MR:
Added unit tests for analytics service
Added unit tests for authentication service
Added unit tests for consultation queue service
Files Added
tests/test_services/test_analytics_service.py
tests/test_services/test_auth_service.py
tests/test_services/test_consultation_queue_service.py
These tests validate service behavior and expected outputs for service-layer functions.
Technical Details
Implemented pytest-based unit tests for service modules.
Tests validate:
Service logic execution
Correct response structures
Error handling behavior
Tests follow the project's existing testing structure and conventions.
The changes ensure that service functions can be validated automatically during development and CI testing.
No production logic or API endpoints were modified.

How to Validate Locally
Previous behaviour
The service modules had limited or no automated test coverage, making it difficult to validate service logic automatically.
Changes made
Added unit tests for:
Analytics service
Authentication service
Consultation queue service
New behaviour
Running the test suite now verifies service functionality and ensures correct behavior through automated tests.
Testing Done
-
Unit tests added/updated -
API endpoint tests passing
