testcoveragefor protectedroute
Issue Summary
Add test cases for the ProtectedRoute component to improve test coverage and ensure proper authentication-based access control.
Problem Statement The ProtectedRoute component currently has low test coverage Not all scenarios like authenticated, unauthenticated, and edge cases are fully tested This may lead to undetected bugs in route protection logic
Affected Users:
All users accessing protected pages
Impact:
Unauthorized access or incorrect redirection may occur Reduced reliability of authentication flow
Reproduction:
Navigate to a protected route without login Observe if redirection works correctly Proposed Solution Write unit test cases for ProtectedRoute component Cover all scenarios: Authenticated user Unauthenticated user Invalid/expired token Mock authentication state properly Test-Driven Development Acceptance Criteria (Given-When-Then)
Scenario 1: Authenticated Access
Given the user is logged in When the user accesses a protected route Then the protected component should be displayed
Scenario 2: Unauthenticated Access
Given the user is not logged in When the user accesses a protected route Then the user should be redirected to the login page
Scenario 3: Invalid Token
Given the user has an invalid or expired token When the user accesses a protected route Then the user should be redirected to the login page Test Cases Test ID Test Description Precondition Test Steps Expected Result Priority TC-001 Access with valid login User logged in 1.Open protected route Page should render High TC-002 Access without login User not logged in 1.Open protected route Redirect to login High TC-003 Access with invalid token Token expired 1.Open protected route Redirect to login High Unit Test Requirements
Components/Functions to Test:
Module/Component Function/Hook Test Cases to Cover ProtectedRoute.tsx Auth check logic TC-001, TC-002, TC-003
Test Assertions Required:
Renders correctly with initial state Checks authentication status Redirects when not authenticated Allows access when authenticated Handles invalid/expired token Implementation Details Files to Change File Path Action Purpose src/components/ProtectedRoute.tsx Verify Ensure logic is correct src/tests/ProtectedRoute.test.tsx Create Add test cases Technical Considerations Use mock authentication context Simulate logged-in and logged-out states Ensure routing behavior is correctly tested UI/UX Requirements Unauthorized users should not see protected content Proper redirection to login page Smooth navigation without errors Testing Strategy Manual Testing
Test Environment:
Browser: Chrome Viewport: Desktop User Role: All
Manual Test Steps:
Login and access protected page → should work Logout and try access → should redirect Use expired token → should redirect Automated Testing
Unit Tests:
Component render tests Auth state tests Redirection tests
Integration Tests:
Route navigation tests Test Data Requirements const mockTestData = { isAuthenticated: true, token: "valid_token" } Definition of Done All scenarios (auth, unauth, invalid token) covered Test cases written and passing Coverage improved for ProtectedRoute No console errors Code reviewed and approved Additional Context Related Issues Related to: Authentication / Routing Notes This improves reliability of route protection Helps prevent unauthorized access issues Ensures better test coverage for authentication logic
