test : Improve Test Coverage for UI Components
## Issue Summary
Add Unit Tests for Core UI Components (Pavani - Components Module)
This issue focuses on creating unit test coverage for key reusable UI components in the application. Currently, these components lack proper test coverage, which may lead to undetected UI bugs and reduced code reliability.
## Problem Statement
- Several core UI components do not have unit tests implemented
- Lack of test coverage increases risk of UI regressions
- Components are reused across pages, so failures impact multiple features
- Difficult to validate rendering, props handling, and interactions
Affected Users:
- Developers (harder debugging and maintenance)
- End users (potential UI inconsistencies)
## Proposed Solution
- Create unit test files for each component under:
src/__tests__/components/ - Follow existing patterns from:
Hero.test.tsxFooter.test.tsx
- Cover:
- Rendering behavior
- Props validation
- User interactions
## Test-Driven Development
Acceptance Criteria (Given-When-Then)
Scenario 1: Component renders correctly
Given the component is loaded When it is rendered Then it should display all required UI elements
Scenario 2: Component receives props
Given valid props are passed When the component renders Then it should display data correctly based on props
Scenario 3: User interaction works
Given the component has interactive elements When the user performs an action (click/scroll) Then the expected behavior should occur
## Test Cases
| Test ID | Test Description | Precondition | Test Steps | Expected Result | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC-001 | Render component | Component available | 1. Import2. Render | UI renders without crash | High |
| TC-002 | Props handling | Props passed | 1. Pass props2. Render | Correct data displayed | High |
| TC-003 | Interaction test | Interactive component | 1. Trigger event2. Observe | Expected action triggered | Medium |
## Unit Test Requirements
Components to Test
| Component | Test Focus |
|---|---|
| Navbar.tsx | Navigation rendering, links |
| ProjectCard.tsx | Props display, UI structure |
| ProjectList.tsx | List rendering |
| ProjectSummaryCard.tsx | Data rendering |
| ScrollToTop.tsx | Scroll behavior |
| SummerCard.tsx | UI + props |
Test Assertions Required
- Renders correctly with initial state
-
Handles props correctly -
Displays dynamic content -
Handles user interactions -
No runtime errors
-
## Implementation Details
Files to Change
| File Path | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
src/__tests__/components/Navbar.test.tsx |
Create | Test Navbar |
src/__tests__/components/ProjectCard.test.tsx |
Create | Test ProjectCard |
src/__tests__/components/ProjectList.test.tsx |
Create | Test ProjectList |
src/__tests__/components/ProjectSummaryCard.test.tsx |
Create | Test Summary Card |
src/__tests__/components/ScrollToTop.test.tsx |
Create | Test Scroll behavior |
src/__tests__/components/SummerCard.test.tsx |
Create | Test SummerCard |
## Technical Considerations
- Use Jest + React Testing Library
- Follow existing test structure
- Use mock data for props
- Keep tests isolated and reusable
## UI/UX Requirements
- Components should render correctly across screen sizes
- Ensure accessibility (basic checks like text visibility)
- Verify interactive elements (buttons, scroll, links)
## Testing Strategy
Manual Testing
- Render components in UI
- Verify layout and content
- Check interactions (click, scroll)
Automated Testing
- Component render tests
-
Props validation tests -
Interaction tests
-
## Test Data Requirements
const mockProps = { title: "Sample Project", description: "Test description", };
## Definition of Done
- All components have test files
-
Tests pass successfully -
Minimum coverage achieved -
Code reviewed -
No console errors -
Lint checks passed
-
## Additional Context
Related Issues
- Related to overall test coverage improvement
Notes
- Follow same structure as existing test files
- Ensure consistency across all component tests
