Testing Strategy
Relevant source files
The following files were used as context for generating this wiki page:The testing strategy for the TAF-SAF project is implicitly defined by the tools and scripts configured within its Next.js framework. Based on the repository's files, the strategy focuses on static code analysis and manual testing during development rather than automated test suites. There are no dedicated unit, integration, or end-to-end testing frameworks like Jest or Cypress configured.
The primary pillars of the current strategy are code linting for quality and consistency, and static type checking with TypeScript to prevent type-related errors. Manual verification is facilitated by the Next.js development server, which provides hot-reloading to allow developers to see their changes instantly.

Linting and Code Quality
The project includes a script for linting the codebase to enforce code quality and style rules. This is managed via the built-in next lint command.
Sources: package.json:8
Linting Command
The package.json file defines the lint script.
"scripts": {
"lint": "next lint"
}
Sources: package.json:8-10
Running npm run lint will execute Next.js's integrated ESLint configuration across the project files, such as those included in the src directory.
Linting Process Flow
The diagram below illustrates the workflow when the lint script is executed.
This diagram shows the process initiated by the developer to check code quality using the predefined lint script.
Sources: package.json:8, src/app/page.tsx, src/app/layout.tsx
Static Type Checking
The project is configured to use TypeScript for static analysis, which helps catch type-related errors during development. The configuration is defined in tsconfig.json.
Sources: tsconfig.json
TypeScript Configuration
Key settings in tsconfig.json enforce a high level of type safety:
| Option | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
strict | true | Enables all strict type-checking options. |
noEmit | true | TypeScript performs type checking without generating JavaScript files, as Next.js handles the compilation. |
moduleResolution | bundler | Specifies the module resolution strategy suitable for modern bundlers. |
include | ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx", ...] | Defines the files to be included in the type-checking process. |
Sources: tsconfig.json:5-12, 22
Type-Checking Workflow
TypeScript's compiler (TSC) analyzes the specified .ts and .tsx files to ensure type safety before the code is run.
This diagram shows how the TypeScript compiler uses tsconfig.json to analyze project files and report type errors.

Manual and Development-Time Testing
The project relies on the Next.js development server for manual testing. Developers can run the application locally to visually inspect and interact with the UI, verifying that changes work as expected.
Sources: README.md:5-13, package.json:5
Development Server
The dev script in package.json starts the development server using the Next.js CLI with Turbopack for faster performance.
"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev --turbopack"
}
Sources: package.json:5-7
As noted in the README.md, running this command starts a local server at http://localhost:3000. The application auto-updates as files like src/app/page.tsx are modified, providing instant feedback.
Sources: README.md:11-13
Manual Testing Sequence
The following diagram shows the typical sequence for a developer making and verifying a change.
This sequence illustrates the fast feedback loop provided by the development server for manual testing.
Sources: README.md:11-13, src/app/page.tsx
Gaps in Automated Testing
An analysis of the project's dependencies reveals a lack of any formal automated testing frameworks.
Dependency Analysis
The dependencies and devDependencies sections in package.json do not include any packages for unit testing (e.g., Jest, Vitest), integration testing, or end-to-end (E2E) testing (e.g., Cypress, Playwright).
"dependencies": {
"react": "^19.0.0",
"react-dom": "^19.0.0",
"next": "15.3.2"
},
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^5",
"@types/node": "^20",
"@types/react": "^19",
"@types/react-dom": "^19",
"@tailwindcss/postcss": "^4",
"tailwindcss": "^4"
}
Sources: package.json:11-23
This indicates that the current testing strategy does not include automated test execution as part of its workflow. Any future implementation of a more robust testing strategy would require adding these dependencies and corresponding configurations.
